Project Context and Scope
ย Tunisia has undergone significant demographic and migratory transitions in recent years, linked to its geographical position at the intersection of North and Sub-Saharan Africa. Acting as a key transit point toward Europe, Tunisia has witnessed increasing inflows of migrants and asylum seekers due to due to various regional and socio-economic factors.ย ย The Tunisian government has intensified its efforts in implementing data-driven migration governance strategies, as these dynamics highlight the need to address both internal realities and cross-border pressures. In response to this need, the Government of Tunisia, through theย Institut National de la Statistique (INS), conducted theย 13th General Population and Housing Census (RGPH 2024)โa comprehensive national exercise designed to generate updated, disaggregated, and policy-relevant demographic and socioeconomic data. Uniquely, the 2024 RGPH includedย expanded modules on international and internal migration, providing a valuable opportunity to analyze migration-related trends and profiles at both national and subnational levels. ย As part of its mission in Tunisia, IOM is providing technical and methodological support and analysis of migration data for the 13th General Population and Housing Census (RGPH) 2024, conducted by the National Institute of Statistics (INS) with the support of the United Nations System. This census aims to provide up-to-date and reliable demographic and socio-economic data that aims to improve public policies and development programs, while strengthening statistical governance and promoting sustainable development based on up-to-date data.ย ย IOM intervention is implemented within the framework of โthe Regional Migration Governance Project โ Integrated Migration Managementโ (RMGP-IMM), funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark. The RMGP-IMM project promotes effective migration management in the southern Mediterranean region through a comprehensive, data-driven approach that involves the entire government and society and focuses on developing national strategies for managing migration flows, strengthening regional cooperation, and digitizing data processes to enhance decision-making, combat organized crime, and better manage regular migration[MI1]ย ย Organizational Department / Unit to which the Consultant is contributing
