The Lab’ess – Social and Solidarity Economy Laboratory has announced the launch of a call for applications for the second phase of the regional “Samim” project, aimed at strengthening civil society organizations (CSOs) engaged in sustainable cities and responsible consumption and production in Greater Tunis.
Funded by the French Development Agency (AFD) and implemented by Lab’ess in partnership with PULSE Group and three support structures: Moroccan CISE, Ecodev, and the Jordan Youth Innovation Forum, the project also targets the cities of Amman (Jordan), Casablanca (Morocco) and Nouakchott (Mauritania).
The project supports CSOs in professionalizing their operations, strengthening governance, consolidating their economic model, and enhancing their social and environmental impact, in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably SDG 11 (sustainable cities and communities) and SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production).
This call is open to legally recognized organizations based in Greater Tunis, with at least three years of existence, that are carrying out actions or demonstrating strong interest in topics related to sustainable cities, including inclusive urban planning and waste management.
Selected organizations will receive structured support. Applications must be submitted on the project’s website by January 25, 2026.
