Project overview

Inclusive Security is transforming decision making about war and peace, with its partner the Tunisian Association for Management and Social Stability (TAMSS), hope to implement a 24-month project to support a group of select policewomen in strengthening their leadership around issues related to the security sector and countering violent extremism. This project is modeled from similar projects Inclusive Security has implemented around the globe. Over 24 months, the project will increase the capacity of Tunisian policewomen to affect policymaking related to violent extremism and law enforcement.

At the end of the project, a convening with policewomen from Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco to discuss regional challenges and best practices will be held.
