<p>We have regular dialogue with the Tunisian government on a range of issues, including
their economic development, particularly in marginalised areas like Kasserine.</p><p>UK
support to Tunisia has doubled in the last year to nearly £6 million, and we will
continue this high level of support in the next financial year. Since 2011, working
with international partners and using funds including the Arab Partnership, Arab Partnership
Economic Facility and Conflict Security and Stability Fund, the UK has supported private
sector development, vocational training, job creation, economic governance and transparency,
including in marginalised areas. Partners such as Germany, the US, France, the EU,
the European Reconstruction and Development Bank, the World Bank and the European
Investment Bank are also involved in similar initiatives. It is also important that
the Tunisian government sets out and implements its vision for economic and social
development. This will help ensure that international support is sustainable.</p>
