Persistent pressures include weak growth and job creation, unsustainable public finances, perceptions of corruption, and deep mistrust, intensified by COVID-19. The July 2021 constitutional rupture—dismissal of the Prime Minister, suspension of parliament, and expanded presidential powers—reflects a shift from the 2014 order. Governance fragmentation and under-resourced institutions widen the gap between formal mandates and real capability building.","Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nTunisia Systematic Country Diagnostic  \nRebuilding trust and meeting aspirations for a more prosperous and inclusive Tunisia  \nExecutive Summary  \nSeptember 2022  \nTunisia Systematic Country Diagnostic  \nRebuilding trust and meeting aspirations for a more prosperous and inclusive Tunisia  \nExecutive Summary  \n© International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / The World Bank 1818 H Street NW, Washington DC 20433  \n[Internet: www.worldbank.org](Internet: www.worldbank.org) ;  \nTelephone: 202 473 1000  \nThis work is a product of the staff of The World Bank.

The transition was born from a moment of hope and aspiration that spread beyond Tunisia’s borders, calling for dignity and freedom through greater political participation, voice, opportunity and inclusion. The country made early gains in this journey, securing a democratic opening and greater voice and civic freedoms for the population-core demands of the revolution. Indeed, as Tunisia became a more open polity, citizens’ ability to voice their demands and concerns increased significantly. Levels of citizen organization and mobilization grew and are high in comparison to peers, building on a historically active civil society, which has remained powerful since the revolution. Moreover, mass mobilization and the power of the street have served as a channel through which Tunisia’s citizens hold the state accountable and make their interests known. This openness distinguishes Tunisia among its peers and offers the possibility of a peaceful renegotiation of the social contract and of the transition path.  \nYet over a decade after the revolution, Tunisia now stands at a critical juncture, and is in the process of changing the constitutional order established in 2014.  \nTunisia’s transition has been under severe and sustained pressure for a number of years, with stalling economic growth and job creation, unsustainable public finances, perceptions of widespread corruption, and deep public mistrust in the political elite. The COVID-19 crisis further exacerbated the economic, fiscal, and trust crises. Events came to a head in July 2021 with the President dismissing the Prime Minister, suspending parliament, and assuming wide ranging powers through a partial suspension of the constitution. Subsequent developments, including the replacement of the Supreme Judicial Council (CSM) with an interim body, and a constitutional referendum to be followed by parliamentary elections, underscore the fact that Tunisia is in the process of changing the constitutional order established in 2014. Citizen’s initial optimism after the revolution has given way to frustration and mistrust, to the extent that surveys show large majority popular support for the President’s actions since","cbCaimnj6iB8lcFa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimnj6iB8lcFa","pdf",2045847,1,28,"English","en",105,"# Executive Summary\n## Social, political, and economic transition\n## July 2021 constitutional shift and public trust\n## Political settlement fragmentation and implementation gaps","[{\"question\":\"What key transition forces shaped Tunisia’s development over the past decade?\",\"answer\":\"Tunisia’s transition was driven by hope and aspirations for dignity and freedom through greater political participation and inclusion.
