* Purification, fight against sand encroachment, creation of youth clubs, public showers, and environmental spaces.

** These projects concern the period between 1994 and 2000. The Fund's tasks were then taken over by the Tunisian Solidarity Bank, micro-credit associations and the National Employment Fund (21-21).

These are social, sanitary, cultural, sports and voluntary actions backing up the basic infrastructure and micro-project creation programs in which the National Solidarity Fund is involved, in order to improve their impact on the target population (“shadow area”). These programs are carried out jointly with the concerned departments.
