Junior EU Aid Volunteer – Assistant de communication avec Médecins du Monde Belgique à Tunis.
The EU Aid Volunteers is an initiative of the European Union. It brings together volunteers and organisations from different countries, providing practical support to humanitarian aid projects and contributing to strengthening the local capacity and resilience of disaster-affected communities. Participants in the EU Aid Volunteers initiative must be over 18 years of age and be a citizen of an EU Member State or a long-term resident in the EU.
More concretely: direct assistance takes the form of medical-psycho-social assistance to vulnerable migrants. This is done either directly by MdM, or via a referral to structures, non-governmental or civil society, more able to meet the identified needs. Consultations in general medicine and psychology are provided in this context. A broad awareness-raising component for migrants is also put into place.
MdM is also developing a referral system to medical-psychological service providers. These providers, previously identified from the public and private sectors, will be linked by MdM acting as a focal point, with migrants. The latter will thus benefit from a dynamic network of providers and health structures and have access to adapted services.
By setting up such a system, MdM ultimately aims to improve the capacities of institutional and private actors at levels of organization, networking, training, partial care, and more. Again, what does it mean to respond to the needs of migrants?
Médecins du Monde Belgium has set up since February 2015, a “mental health” station for the migrant population of Greater Tunis.
2- The right to healthcare is at the heart of the “SEHATY” project developed by Médecins du Monde Belgium (MdM BE) and its partners: Mourakiboun, CIDEAL and COSPE. The Tunisian constitution of 2014 enshrines the right to healthcare. Despite remarkable achievements, the Tunisian health system (STT) seems to have run out of steam. Disparities between regions / localities and socio-economic groups are widening, and the inequities of access to care are worsening, hindering an achievement of universal healthcare access, especially for the most vulnerable populations.
The overall objective of the project is as follows: “The health of the population in the targeted areas, especially the most vulnerable groups, is improved through better access to quality front-line health services and better knowledge of human rights and responsibilities by local communities. ” The specific objectives are:
Our approach is part of the opportunities offered by the principles of decentralization and participatory democracy enshrined in the January 2014 constitution and in the new local government code. It is based on a community-centered approach and that of healthcare democracy: i) the development of public consultation, ii) the improvement of the participation of health actors, iii) the promotion of the individual and collective rights of users.
The intervention will be conducted at the level of at least 13 health districts that will be identified in the 13 areas targeted by the health sector support program “Essaha Aziza”, according to predetermined criteria.
Long considered a country of emigration, Tunisia today is also a country of transit and immigration for migrants of varying status. Of the 11.4 million population, the last general census in 2014 shows 53,490 foreigners living in Tunisia, compared with 35,192 in 2004. Among them: 24,841 North Africans (8,772 Libyans, 9,996 Algerians , 5,565 Moroccans and 508 Mauritanians). The other Arab nationals are mostly Egyptians (1093), Syrians (1024) and Iraqis (550). As for Europeans, they number 15,000. Sub-Saharan Africans would be 7524, mainly from Mali, Ivory Coast, Niger, Senegal ().
Of these foreigners, 5,825 are said to have obtained work permits from the Ministry of Vocational Training and Employment in 2014, and 6,268 would have been students during the 2014-2015 academic year, 75% of them in the private sector. Asylum seekers and refugees represented a total of 1,135 UNHCR staff at the end of 2014.
A concern for protecting migrants’ rights has been renewed in light of important dynamics of individual rights protection in Tunisia. The National Migration Strategy document, now adopted for five years, 2016-2020 considers this protection as one of the strategic objectives of migration management. It notes the need to update legislation on immigration and the protection of migrants’ rights, in particular regarding migrant workers, asylum seekers and refugees, victims of trafficking, students, and other vulnerable migrants.
