This project aims to reduce state and societal violence experienced by young Tunisian men and women in the target communities of Kasserine and Tataouine. Project activities include: (1) increasing capacity-building for youth groups, civil society organizations, and local media outlets to recognize and address incidences of gendered violence and its short and long-term impacts on society; (2) increasing visibility of gender-based violence among state leaders and society through media programming and sensitization campaigns; (3) facilitating inclusive and participative public dialogues; and (4) supporting youth-led advocacy campaigns.

This project addresses current safety and structural deficiencies in the LAF warehouse facilities by providing a properly outfitted warehouse for material accountability, tracking and distribution. The project will provide space for a structured materials management system to improve the efficiency of material movement and tracking as well as allow for continued training in critical area and logistics to build the LAF's capabilities and support regional security and stability.

The purpose of this project is to provide the Mountain Warfare Ski School (MWSS) a facility that is capable of establishing practical service and preventative maintenance to vehicles, as well as to establish a learning environment that supports a variety of instructional needs and allows for multi-gender occupancy to support female integration efforts into LAF operations. Development of the MWSS will build on the LAF’s ability to maintain a consistent supply of equipment and resources to all arms and is paramount in their ability to provide consistent protection to their borders and reduce the influx of undesirable elements that currently exists.

This requirement is part of the Canadian Armed Forces mandate to enhance LAF operations within Lebanon and set the conditions for continued training and development that will build LAF capabilities and support regional stability. At present, the primary storage location for the large, high value components such as snowmobiles (LOSV) and utility-task vehicles (UTV) is not functional as it provides no shelter from the elements, has no discernible system of organization, and does not allow for a workspace for operators and service personnel. This means that equipment, including donations from Canada and other international partners, is not able to be optimized by the LAF leading to a loss of capability as equipment is damaged in storage. Additionally, there is no appropriate location for conducting training and education efforts and the ability to engage female integration into the training is limited due to a lack of safe, appropriate accommodations.
