KfW is supporting this corona aid on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) with a grant of EUR 12 million. Poor families in Tunisia mostly live from hand to mouth. Work in the informal sector often falls away because of the Corona pandemic. Negative economic growth is expected for 2020. There is no savings among the poor sections of the population, yet food, school supplies and doctor s visits have to be paid for. Since 1986, the Tunisian government has been granting a kind of social assistance equivalent to EUR 46 per month to particularly needy families. 230,000 beneficiaries are registered in the programme.
