The Ministry of Public Works, Housing and Territorial Development has set up an incentive programme for the creation of nearly 100 micro enterprises (in a first phase) in road maintenance, which can generate 600 jobs.

The department, along with the Tunisian Solidarity Bank (BTS,), fund their projects by granting a loan ranging between 130 and 150 thousand dinars in the 24 governorates of the country with an overall investment of 11 million Tunisian dinars.
