Tunisian domestic policy and administrative reforms

Overview

President Kaïs Saïed has initiated several administrative and legislative reviews aimed at addressing systemic issues in Tunisia. In October 2026, the President met with government officials to oversee the implementation of Law No. 18 of 2025, which enables the recruitment of long-term unemployed higher education graduates into the public sector. Saïed attributed historical unemployment among graduates to past corruption, including political favoritism and the use of falsified diplomas.

By November 2026, the focus expanded to include a call for profound reform of public procurement legislation. Saïed emphasized that revising these regulations is necessary to combat corruption, reduce irregularities, and accelerate project timelines across all sectors. Discussions also involved infrastructure developments, such as the road connecting Tunisia to Algeria and a proposed bridge to Djerba, alongside energy management strategies to prevent future electricity shortages.
