In addition to building new universities, higher institutes of technology (ISET) have been created in Tunisia to provide specialty training in areas such as management, computer technology and industry. So far, 11 such institutes have been set up, and there are plans to establish an ISET in each of the country’s 24 governorates. Expanding on the successes of the original ISETS, 13 new ones will be built with a new component, a Management Training Center, to address the needs of SMEs.
This loan will help establish an ISET in the governorate of Siliana, some 120 km from the capital city Tunis. Fully-equipped support facilities will be built, and all infrastructure will be fitted out with associated computer equipment, didactic materials and furniture.
