Tunisia has been hard hit by the Covid since July 2021 following a very strong upsurge in cases.
Following the deterioration of the situation, a meeting of the Tunisia country group was organized on July 23, 2021. With the presence of Louis Racine, Chief of Staff of the Ambassador of France in Tunisia, the meeting made it possible to take stock precise on the situation in Tunisia, as well as on the mobilization of France to help Tunisians.

At the end of the meeting, it was decided to activate within the post-Covid 19 Africa solidarity fund already existing at CUF, an envelope dedicated to Tunisia.
UCLG has decided to contribute to this fund from Cités Unies France.
As a reminder, the post-Covid 19 solidarity fund has come to the aid of Mali and Ghana through donations of medical equipment or food, as well as through professional training and workshops to raise awareness of the dangers of Covid. 19.
