Job Summary

Ma3an is a seven-year (2018-2025) USAID-funded project with the goal to increase Tunisian youth civic engagement and economic empowerment to advance progress towards sustainable, inclusive development in Tunisia. Ma3an’s objectives include: (1) Youth have improved access to skills, services, and opportunities for civic engagement and economic empowerment, and (2) Tunisian youth lead and meaningfully participate in activities to address youth and community priorities.

This includes working with local partners to set up and support a network of youth leaders who can cascade essential skills to their peers and who can propose and lead initiatives that respond to the challenges they are facing.
