Tunisia is actively seeking private sector involvement to address its social housing needs. The recent PRO-Immo 2026 exhibition in Tunis, a three-day event dedicated to housing projects, financing, and equipment, underscored this push. Organized annually since 2012 by Ctfexpo, the exhibition has become a crucial platform for professionals in the housing sector. This year's edition highlighted the government's interest in collaborating with private developers to accelerate the delivery of social housing units across the country. The event provided an opportunity for stakeholders to discuss current challenges and explore innovative solutions for increasing housing availability. The focus on private developer engagement signals a strategic shift aimed at leveraging external expertise and investment to meet growing demand. By opening its doors to private promoters, Tunisia aims to streamline the construction process, introduce modern building techniques, and potentially reduce costs, thereby making social housing more accessible to a larger segment of the population.
