HiiL’s Employment Justice Programme was implemented in partnership with the Tunisian Presidency of the Government, the Ministry of Social Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, and the Tunisian Bar Association to address Tunisia’s most pressing employment-related justice challenges.
The JNS data laid the foundation for the four-year programme Employment Justice topic. According to HiiL’s Justice Needs and Satisfaction (JNS) survey, 19% of Tunisians cite employment-related disputes as their most serious justice problem. The data served as a basis for the development of the Employment Justice Guidelines, co-created with national experts to offer a practical framework for improving employment justice in Tunisia. Stakeholders dialogues were launched to create and strengthen the enabling environment around access to justice, and ensure collaboration, bringing together public institutions representatives, legal professionals, and civil society actors.
Building on this foundation, HiiL convened Justice Innovation Labs to co-design solutions to the most urgent Employment challenges.Moreover, the Justice Accelerator also contributed to advancing employment justice in Tunisia by supporting innovative solutions through ideation, incubation, and acceleration programmes.
Our highlight is the governmental platform “Monde de Travail”, a digital tool that helps employers, employees, and labor inspectors access employment related legal information, contributes to resolving disputes, and connects with labor inspectors.
