2014 Our Contribution to Freedom and Development 3 Preface D uring the period following Tunisias glorious revolution, the country went through diffcult times and violent crises that threatened the very foundations of the state. These crises nearly destroyed the revolutions accomplishments and the peoples dreams of a prosperous Tunisia, high amongst the leading democratic countries where one can enjoy freedom, comfort and a dignifed life. Fully aware of the fragility of the phase and the gravity of the threats, Ennahdha Movement worked within the political system and with civil society alongside the government to provide the conditions for success of our countrys frst democratic, fair and transparent elections. The government coalition began its mission, following the elections of October 2011, in an exceptional political context nationally, regionally and internationally. It had to build the foundations of a democratic system, establish and maintain the right conditions for its stability and organise the coming elections in addition to the normal government responsibilities of running state affairs and managing development, security, social and economic affairs and initiating structural reforms in many sectors. 2014 Our Contribution to Freedom and Development 4 I. The Situation after the Revolution The government began its mission in highly unstable and challenging political and economic conditions. The political and security levels The characteristics of the political and security situation were: A notable decline in the role and authority of the State which resulted in an administrative breakdown and violations in most of the institutional and control systems coupled with a collapse in security, which contributed to an increase in organised crime, terrorism and smuggling of goods including fre arms and drugs. The existence of a general climate dominated by anticipation and fear of the revolutions repercussions and challenges coupled with very high expectations and aspirations. The consecutive interim governments before the elections of 23 October 2011 lacked initiative and had fallen into the trap of easy compromises and submission to pressures, adopting the policy of easy solutions rather than adopting sustainable solutions to the challenges.
2014 Our Contribution to Freedom and Development 5 The economic and social levels The prevalence of counter- productive strikes and protests and the widespread mentality of profteering from the states post- revolution weakness in order to achieve personal or group interests. The economic recession in Europe, which impacted very negatively on the Tunisian economy. These factors led to the deterioration of most economic indicators such as: - A steep decline in growth rates (-2%) - Aggravation of unemployment (18.9%) - A global rise in prices - Increase in indebtedness by more than 4 points (from 40.4% to 44.6%) Increase in the budget defcit by more than 2 points (1% to 3.3%) Challenges and Obstacles The coalition government, led by Ennahdha, fulflled its duties and responsibilities in all faithfulness. It adopted a pioneering methodology in running State affairs that combined competence, humility, commitment and frmness in serving the public interest and managing many 2014 Our Contribution to Freedom and Development 6 challenges and obstacles such as : An increase in social demands and disturbances The undermining of the value of work and decline in productivity The worsening of the internal situation and the rise in political tensions The threat of regional developments to the transitional democratic process The rise of terrorism threatening stability.

2014 Our Contribution to Freedom and Development 7 II. II. Our Contribution to Serving the Tunisian people The governments four major priorities The coalition government defned four major priorities for their mandate: Preserving the stability and solidity of the state and extending security throughout the country. Making progress on the economic and social fronts by improving the purchasing power of the citizen and maintaining control over prices. Ensuring the success of the transitional democratic phase and taking the country successfully to the next elections. Making progress in the transitional justice process in order to address the injustices committed since independence and implement the general amnesty. The government made signifcant strides forward in all of these sectors: The political and human rights levels T he coalition government and especially Ennahdhabe it through its political leadership or its parliamentary group played a signifcant role in the following: 2014 Our Contribution to Freedom and Development 8 Securing the country from the dangers of anarchy and chaos and ensuring the continuity of the state and public services; Preserving social peace and protecting the democratic process through dialogue and consensus and even through conceding power in order to continue the path of successful transition and protect our countrys fedgling experience from relapse; Writing and adopting a constitution that is very progressive and that enshrines rights and freedom, secures the future of coming generations, preserves and consolidates our identity, establishes the foundations for good governance and enables the regions in the
2014 Our Contribution to Freedom and Development 9 context of decentralisation to achieve inclusive local development; Reaching consensus on the establishment of a number of constitutional commissions, most importantly the supreme independent commission for the el ect i ons; Fighting corruption, supporting the relevant commissions in this feld, creating a judicial fnancial centre and launching the process of restoring stolen funds; and Maintaining public and private freedoms and empowering civil society. Ensuring Respect for Freedoms The government worked hard to ensure respect for public and private freedoms and enable civil society to operate freely and to proactively participate in national affairs. In this context, the National Commission for Protection from Torture was established - the frst such body in the Arab world - and Tunisia ratifed the voluntary protocol of the United Nations Convention Against Torture. An Independent and Free Media On the media front, the government brought into practice Decree n 116 and the establishment of the supreme independent commission for audio-visual media. It also activated Decree n 115 organising the journalistic profession, managing its implementation in association with professional and trade union media structures. Additionally, much effort was 2014 Our Contribution to Freedom and Development 10 invested in enriching the civil society scene by building a new structural ad legislative framework that signifcantly simplifes and liberalises the process of establishing an association and seeks to develop the capabilities of civil society. Reforming the Security Institution The government strove to reform the security institution while keeping its consistency and effciency, developing its performance and rejecting a revenge mentality concerning violations and cases of torture during the era of dictatorship. In addition, the government worked with the Assembly to pass a law introducing a specifc system of indemnities for loss due to work accidents and occupational illness for members of of internal security forces. This law was consolidated with a set of government decrees securing the rights of the martyrs of the revolution and the wounded from the army, national security forces and customs service. Reforming the judicial system A comprehensive mid-term programme for 2012-2016 for reforming the judicial system and related sectors and the prison system was established in association with international organisations. The government began its
2014 Our Contribution to Freedom and Development 11 implementation alongside a review of the judicial map and the installation of criminal units at the courts of frst instance to bring judiciary services closer to the citizen. Additionally, the government prepared a new programme organising the supreme justice council in order to guarantee the independence of the judicial system and improve its management. Establishing transitional justice The law of transitional justice prepared by the government and approved by the Constituent Assembly on 15 December 2013 is considered a signifcant accomplishment for Tunisia and a step forward in establishing a transitional justice that addresses past violations while respecting the principles of human rights. The law has led to the establishment of the Truth and Dignity Commission which has begun its crucial work. The government adopted a participatory and inclusive approach in preparing this law, involving many national and international organisations, associations, experts and commissions. The government addressed many of the grievances relating to the revolutions martyrs and those injured during the revolution by providing the latter with jobs, grants, treatment and health and social coverage for them and their families. The government also activated the decree of the constitutional general amnesty ratifed immediately after 2014 Our Contribution to Freedom and Development 12 the revolution and gave it effect by granting its benefciaries their right to employment and to recover their previous jobs and by helping them enjoy the conditions for a dignifed life. The fnancial and economic levels The 2012-2013 period was associated with many economic challenges, most notably : Decline in the national production of petroleum and natural gas. Decrease in earnings from the Algerian gas pipeline (especially in 2013). Salary increases, part of which had not been programmed in the state budget. Fall in the exchange rate of the Tunisian Dinar against principal currencies. The government adoptd an economic policy during 2012 and 2013 based on stimulating the economy through increasing public investment (to fll the gap left by the decline in private investment) and maintaining the major fscal and fnancial balances in the country. Additionally, the government managed to mobilise the countrys fnancing needs through international sources and fnancing many government development programmes in partnership with international fnancial bodies and our European partners by marketing the consensual government experience
2014 Our Contribution to Freedom and Development 13 and mobilising friendships with many international bodies. Consequently, the grants allocated to the country in 2012 reached an all-time high of more than 632 million dinars. Below is a summary of the most important economic results : 1. Growth The national economy achieved positive growth rates, reaching 3.9% in 2012 and 2.6% in 2013 :
The slowdown in growth in 2013 was principally caused by the decrease in agricultural production, the repercussions of the European recession and the internal political crisis.
2. Employment The economic recovery in 2012 was coupled with a fall in unemployment rates from 18.9% in the fourth quarter of 2011 to 16.7% in the fourth quarter of 2012 and then to 15.3% by the end of 2013.
