After months of preparation, meetings, discussions and fundraising we are finally here in Tunisia. We flew from Brussels to Tunis on Sunday evening, and we got to the Hotel Carlton relatively late, we had dinner close by.
In the morning, after breakfast in the hotel, managing to catch a taxi and getting a bit lost, we got to AFTURD's office. The Association des Femmes Tunisiennes pour la Recherche et le Développement. Imen Hamza met us and made sure we were settled in their conference room. We then met the rest of their staff, including the founder and president Radhia Bel Hak Zekri.
Straight after the visit to AFTURD we went to the African Development Bank headquarters. Marianna Maculan, who we had been in contact with from Brussels, came to pick us up downstairs and gave us access to the building. We went upstairs to a sunny conference room where Emanuele Santi explained to us in detail the activities of the Bank in Tunisia. Aterwards Marianna Maculan gave us a small presentation about the general structure of the AfDB.
We had late lunch in a very nice restaurant, near the AfDB, the Bamboo Lodge around 4 p.m. and we concluded the day with a trip in the Medina guided by our new friend Ali.
