This report on the current landscape of cultural and creative industries (CCI) in Tunisia gives a brief overview of the economic situation of the country and the salient features of its existing CCI and entrepreneurial ecosystems. A number of key stakeholders are identified including governmental actors, private sector organisations, NGOs and associations, and academic institutions. Additionally, several national and international initiatives impacting CCI are identified. Finally, the report outlines challenges and opportunities within the CCI sector, and gives a series of policy recommendations.
This report is part of the mapping activities under the CREACT4MED project, co-funded by the European Union, though the EuropeAid Programme, and by the Project Partners. The project is led by the Euro-Mediterranean Economists Association (EMEA).

Five TEG meetings were held between 18 November 2020 and 25 February 2021, and a CCI Stakeholder Workshop in Tunisia was held on 8 April 2021.
