Description
TATAOUI® is the brand for local products from Tataouine. The TATAOUI brand was created within the framework of the "Ter-Re: from TERritory to REvenue, strengthening the capacities of women and youth in Tataouine" project, carried out in the Tataouine region between 2016 and 2019 by the Italian association ARCS – Solidarity Cultures, in partnership with the Arid Regions Institute (IRA) and funded by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS). The project's objective is to promote the socio-economic development of rural communities in Tataouine by valuing traditional knowledge, through support for self-employment and the socio-economic integration of women and youth in the five rural villages of Rass el Oued, El Ferch, Duiret, Bir Thalathine, and Bir Amir.
With the support of the project, village women organized into agricultural development groups and created processing units equipped with the necessary tools to produce goods derived from their traditional expertise and local resources (weaving, food, and cosmetics), and where on-site sales points are also found.
