TIDD is a think-do tank, aims to institutionalize at both national and sub-national levels creative ideas that make it possible to realize an open society managed by informed fact-driven citizens. Citizens informed about their role, empowered to play it and equipped through the right tools, appropriate technology and relevant policy and legislation. Our work is based on a conviction that to play active role in the development of our communities and country , people need opportunities and tools the knowledge to participate in civic and economic life a voice in public decisions that affect their well-being , and a means of making a meaningful living.Our approach make us unique which reflected in all TIDD’s work and tailed to the Tunisian context: We believe that: Democracy, Development, Diversity and Dialogue (4D) are the fundamental pillars towards a new social contract for Tunisia. Democracy is not an end but a process. It could not guarantee alone the well-being of the Tunisian citizen. Development (social, economic, cultural and environmental) is crucial for sustain the nascent Tunisian democracy. It should be inclusive, improving equality of opportunities and support those who might be left behind (in particular the youth and women in the lagging regions). Diversity is another important pillar that we take on consideration in our entire programs. Since 2011, Tunisians were still re-discovering their “Tunisianities” and were welling to redefine their identities. It is essential to manage this diversity in order to maintain stability and reinforce the social cohesion. Dialogue is the key of success of the Tunisian exception” beacon of democracy” in the region. We believe that transformative dialogue is essential tools for sustainable socio –economic change in all activities, programs designed by all key actors.Our Vision:Our Vision:Our Vision:Our Vision:Our Vision:Our Vision:Our Vision:Our Vision:Our Vision:Our Vision:Our Vision:  Tunisian citizen has freedom to participate in their society’s governance and development and the power to influence change.  Tunisian citizen has a voice that heart by their leaders, representative at the Assembly of Representatives and their governments listen and are responsive to the citizens’ needs.  We promote transparency, accountability and multi-stakeholder participation in governance in our entire program.
