About the research
The aim of this project is to focus on mitigation strategies implemented since the lockdown, government and non-government responses to COVID-19, and on their impact on vulnerable communities in Tunisia. The study will synthesize existing literature (including recent survey results) and be based on interviews with various stakeholders in order to assess their perceptions, highlight potential knowledge gaps, and provide new directions for policy.
