Tunis (UNA-OIC) – The World Bank Board of Executive Directors, on Wednesday evening, approved a loan of $300 million (840 million dinars) to Tunisia to finance the social protection program and urgently meet the needs of poor and low-income families that have been affected by the repercussions of the coronavirus.
The loan aims to reduce poverty and social vulnerability and provide decent living conditions for disadvantaged groups, Agence Tunis Afrique Presse (TAP) reported.
This urgent support will provide circumstantial financial transfers to between 900,000 and one million poor Tunisian families benefiting from permanent grants and white or yellow treatment cards, who have been hardly affected by the repercussions of the coronavirus, World Bank Country Manager for Tunisia Tony Verheijen said in an exclusive interview with TAP.
