CICan receives $5M to strengthen environmental programs in Tunisia

Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) will receive $5M from the Government of Canada over five years to advance environment-related academic programs in Tunisia. With this funding, CICan and Tunisian higher institutes of applied sciences and technology will prepare graduates to tackle the ecological transition in regions of Tunisia that are particularly affected by climate change. This federal funding is part of a larger $50M investment into efforts to advance global education, skills training, and economic opportunities for marginalized youth. “In the spirit of International Development Week’s 2025 theme of Building a Better World Together, Canada is proud to partner with Canadian leaders on global education,” said Canada Minister of International Development Ahmed Hussen.
