Lobbying is neither recognised nor regulated in Tunisia. The current government is taking steps to consult the various stakeholders. Yet not all stakeholders have equal access to information on the definition and formulation of public policies. Some influential groups (businessmen, corporations, etc. ) have privileged access to information, a factor that detracts from the effort to establish a general framework of transparency and openness in the development of public policies. Also Tunisia is still marked by the weight of big families, that have interests to preserve.
