Welcome to DCAF Tunisia!
DCAF Response to change in Tunisia
In the first weeks following the Tunisian Revolution, the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF) offered its expertise to the transitional government. Since February 2011, DCAF has been reinforcing its cooperation with the Tunisian government through agreements and assistance programmes with several ministries (Interior, Justice and Defence). In July 2011, Tunisia joined the DCAF Foundation Council and became its 60th member state. In order to facilitate the implementation of its cooperation programmes with the Tunisian authorities and civil society members, DCAF opened an office in Tunis in October 2011.
DCAF Trust Fund for North Africa
In June 2012, the 61 member states of DCAF’s Foundation Council approved the establishment of a DCAF Trust Fund for Security Sector Development Assistance in North Africa. The Trust Fund enables DCAF to provide long -term support to security sector reform in Tunisia, Morocco, Libya and Egypt. A Steering committee composed of representatives of contributing states and DCAF’s operations division “Middle East and North Africa” will be responsible for operating the fund.
