The director of the American agency for international development, revealed the reduction of US aid to Tunisia, under the budget allocated for 2023 ” because of the disappointing turns by the current government, the crackdown on civil society, the move away from the rule of law and from democratic institutions”.
” We would look forward, of course, to restarting and finding a way to get that assistance going again if the government would get the country back on a democratic path. So mainly our support is for civil society, media and looking at the independent electoral board, which we have long sought to strengthen and we thought was doing very important work. But now have to look to see what the membership of that board will be on the MCC. I would have to get back to you on that specifically. But given the governance circumstances in Tunisia, that’s going to affect the indicators which are so important to whether the MCC makes its investment”,adds the same source.
