| Project Detail |
The programs goal is to urgently respond to the emergency needs of distressed migrants by reducing acute vulnerabilities and improve resilience considering the increased surge of migrant caseload and mounting socio-economic challenges in Tunisia
Expected results
1.1: Vulnerable migrants have benefitted from safe spaces, protection, access to critical services (health, housing, food, non-food-items such as blankets and hygiene kits, mental health and psychosocial support, legal assistance) and cash-based interventions such as vouchers.
1.2: Medium term needs are met to facilitate transition from emergency shelter and assistance to sustainable solutions. Through workshops, informational sessions, vocational trainings, and activities at the shelters and through government, NGO or private sector partners, migrants will have enhanced knowledge of resources, opportunities, and services in Tunisia supporting their transition out of the shelter.
Through the Austrian contribution the following specific results will be achieved:
- Through safe and healthy accommodations, protection and assistance with case management, the urgent needs of 1,400 vulnerable migrants are met to prevent them from destitution and increase their resilience.
- 220 of the 800 vulnerable migrants targeted under output 1.1, especially unaccompanied migrant children (UMCs), have benefitted from opportunities such as vocational trainings and apprenticeships that will develop competencies and skills.
Target group / Beneficiaries
The Austrian contribution will support 1,400 beneficiaries directly. Specifically, the target group benefitting from the contribution will be migrants in the most vulnerable situations, such as those currently without any accommodations. The sub-groups prioritized for protection and assistance, including accommodation in the emergency shelters will be: Survivors of gender-based violence, victims of trafficking, exploitation, or trauma such as shipwrecks and related deaths; UMCs; single female-headed families; migrants with acute or chronic illnesses and underlying medical conditions such as hypertension, HIV, tuberculosis, etc., migrants with mental health and psychosocial needs, migrants with disabilities and older migrants. The programme aims to be as inclusive as possible and will consider the complexity and urgency of all cases, including single, adult males. |
