Proximity and Data Collection
This aspect of the Academy seeks to raise awareness amongst the participants about what are the priorities of their region’s women, and seeks to help them develop strong links with their community. To start, women had to investigate within their community to identify what are the population’s expectations towards the municipal council. Afterwards, they had to write a list of demands representing the priorities of the women of that region, and had to share these priorities with the political actors, the media and the inhabitants of their region during local assemblies. Assemblies and territorial assessments were led in five regions (Tozeur, Sfax, Bizerte, Tunis and Ariana).
