To reduce the isolation of “shadow areas”;
To improve the living conditions of their inhabitants;
To guarantee an economic base in these areas through income-generating projects;
To integrate the beneficiaries within the development process, helping them establish their own micro-projects buy providing them with funding (donations and credits);

Once this integration process has been achieved, the projects will from then on be financed by the Tunisian Bank of Solidarity (BTS), established to this end in 1997. This approach has been reinforced by instituting a system of micro-credits granted by development associations working in close collaboration with the BTS.

Guaranteeing the basic and natural rights to this fringe of the population:
 
The right to health, education and culture,
 
The right to economic integration via income-generating or direct employment projects
 
Contribute to reducing the poverty rate.
