Since the 2011 revolution, Tunisian youth have been aspiring for an improvement of their socio-economic situation and their future prospects. Until now, the national youth policy does not respond to the economic and social needs of youth in the most satisfactory way. This situation contributes to the development of risky behaviors among young people, such as drug use, verbal and physical violence, religious radicalization, and illegal migration. Youth inactivity has been a massive problem in Tunisia with 32% of the population categorized as not being in education, employment, or training (NEETs) in 2021.

The Tunisian Ministry of Youth and Sports addresses this challenge through a policy vision and provides target group-oriented offerings through a network of over 350 youth centers.

As sports activities are attractive to young people, the cooperation uses sport such as football, volleyball and basketball and traditional games as an educational tool in order to develop life skills/competences for boys and girls. Any physical and / or sporting activity is suitable for a socio-sporting game. It is about encouraging young people to practice sport while developing their skills/competences and setting short- and long-term goals in daily life and achieving them to contribute to national development goals.
