Tunisia's government is evaluating the potential creation of digital service centers in the delegations of Menzel Mhiri, Messaadine, and Menzel Habib. The General Directorate of Administrative Reforms and Prospectives (DGRPA) within the government presidency indicated that these areas are among those that will be studied for inclusion in a new program planned for 2027-2030.
This future initiative will follow the conclusion of the current program, which is establishing 34 digital service centers across various municipalities. This ongoing program, covering 21 governorates, aims to serve over 900,000 citizens. It is part of a broader policy to make administrative services more accessible, particularly in regions that currently have limited access to essential services.
The new program for 2027-2030 will be developed based on requests from municipalities, prioritizing areas with a significant lack of administrative services. Menzel Mhiri, Messaadine, and Menzel Habib are highlighted as examples of such municipalities.
The project's goal is to consolidate various essential administrative services onto a single platform using digital solutions. This approach is expected to simplify citizens' access to public services and reduce the need for travel, especially for those in rural or remote areas.
