The official name of the programme (as introduced by the Decree) is the Programme de Recherche Active d’Emploi. According to Angel-Urdinola and Leon-Solano (2011), many youth quit the SIVP programme in order to benefit from Amal, which offered a more generous stipend. These are reduced to TND 150 and TND 100, respectively, for individuals who have previously benefited from the SIVP. Individuals wishing to set up their own business receive help with the identification and development of tire project. In addition, and conditional on obtaining a financing agreement, they can receive a sum of up to 10% of the cost of the project (and not exceeding TND 5 000) as start-up finance.
