The World Bank has temporarily suspended its future work with Tunisia following President Kais Saied's remarks regarding migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, which led to harassment and racially motivated violence. It clarified that it has halted the partnership framework with Tunisia, which outlines future programs between 2023 and 2025, and postponed its board meeting scheduled for March 21 to review a new strategic engagement with the country until further notice. The Bank views the situation as very concerning but acknowledges the steps announced by the Tunisian government to protect and support migrants and refugees as positive and will monitor their impact.
