Tunisia is facing a significant loss of talent as 46,000 engineers have emigrated in the past decade. The Tunisian Order of Engineers is now seeking to strengthen ties with those who have left, recognizing the detrimental impact of this “brain drain.” A new framework law has been submitted to the Assembly of the People’s Representatives aiming to leverage the expertise of Tunisian engineers living abroad. The initiative intends to foster their contribution to national development, suggesting a shift towards greater engagement with the diaspora. Officials believe that maintaining a connection with these skilled professionals is crucial for Tunisia’s future progress. This move signals an awareness of the economic and developmental drawbacks of losing a highly skilled workforce. The proposal seeks to formally recognize and utilize the skills and knowledge accumulated by Tunisian engineers internationally.
