About Ma3an
Ma3an is a seven-year (2018-2025) project funded by USAID and implemented by FHI 360 in collaboration with local implementing partners in the Ma3an communities. FHI 360/Ma3an has project offices in Tunis, Kasserine, Jendouba, Sousse, and Medenine.
Ma3an program activities for Years 5 to 7 are designed to build upon the strengthened local capacities, youth safe spaces, youth skills-building and empowerment, and increased youth-community engagement and collaboration resulting from the Ma3an community resilience process and other youth engagement activities implemented in 33 marginalized communities. Ma3an activities will continue to be guided by the principles of PYD, with further resources committed to improving youth access to skills, services, and opportunities, and increasing opportunities for youth to lead, and meaningfully participate in, addressing youth and community priorities.
Applying activities that support the PYD domains enables youth to leverage their skills and assets and capitalize on supportive relationships, spaces, and structures so that they are better able to contribute to driving progress towards sustainable, inclusive development in Tunisia. For example, trained youth leaders in marginalized communities serve as role models and credible voices who can be effective at speaking to vulnerable youth in their terms and provide them with opportunities to discover a sense of purpose, recognition, and meaning through civic engagement.
