Regional disparities and inclusive territorial development in Tunisia: The South-East region– 5in10 with Nessrine Abbassi

By Nessrine Abbasi. Tunisia faces the pressing challenge of building a democratic system that addresses deep-rooted social and economic inequalities. Nessrine Abbassi, an expert in regional development economics, sheds light on the disparities between the coastal regions and the country’s south, particularly the Southeast.

Abbassi emphasizes that sustainable development is achievable only through territorial approaches that consider the unique needs and characteristics of each region.
