Modular Documentation Joe Gelb Techshoret 2009Suite Solutions
Designing, building and maintaining a coherent content model is critical to proper planning, creation, management and delivery of documentation and training content. This is especially true when implementing a modular or topic-based XML standard such as DITA, SCORM and S1000D, and is essential for successfully facilitating content reuse, multi-purpose conditional publishing and user-driven content.
During this presentation we will review basic concepts and methods for implementing information architecture. We will then introduce an innovative, comprehensive methodology for information modeling and content development that employs recognized XML standards for representation and interchange of knowledge, such as Topic Maps and SKOS. In this way, semantic technologies designed for taxonomy and ontology development can be brought to bear for creating and managing technical documentation and training content, and ultimately impacting the usability and findability of technical information.
This document provides an overview of instruction on word processing, spreadsheets, and databases.

DITA, Semantics, Content Management, Dynamic Documents, and Linked Data – A M...Paul Wlodarczyk
DITA was conceived as a model for improving reuse through topic-oriented modularization of content. Instead of creating new content or copying and pasting information which may or may not be current and authoritative, organizations manage a repository of content assets – or DITA topics – that can be centrally managed, maintained and reused across the enterprise. This helps to accelerate the creation and maintenance of documents and other deliverables and to ensure the quality and consistency of the content organizations publish. But the next frontier of DITA adoption is leveraging semantic technologies—taxonomies, ontologies and text analytics—to automate the delivery of targeted content. For example, a service incident from a customer is automatically matched with the appropriate response, which is authored and managed as a DITA topic. Learn how organizations can leverage DITA, semantics, content management, dynamic documents, and linked data to fully utilize the value of their information.

Making IA Real: Planning an Information Architecture StrategyChiara Fox Ogan
Presented at Internet Librarian conference in 2001. Provides an introduction to what information architecture is and how you can use the methods to develop a good website.
Implementing an enterprise content management (ECM) system can provide benefits like increased efficiency and compliance, but also risks like underestimating costs and change management needs. A successful ECM implementation requires defining standards, tailored training, and buy-in across the organization. It's best to start with one business function and scale across the enterprise over time to manage risks. Upfront taxonomy and metadata development are also critical to ensuring content remains findable.

GUIDE ON MAIN FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR STARTUPS AND NON PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS...Jamaity
In Tunisia, Community-Based Organizations, grassroots organizations, and social impact businesses have contributed to a variety of initiatives aimed at advancing human rights and incorporating the Humanitarian-Peace-Development nexus. They play a significant role in fostering peace in the country, but face at the same time numerous challenges and constantly changing circumstances.
Financial viability is one of these challenges threatened by the lack of fundraising expertise, and access to available opportunities.
This guide aims to inform community-based organizations, grassroots organizations, and social impact businesses about available funding and technical opportunities and equip them with data and tools to better secure funds.
2021 CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATION SUSTAINABILITY INDEX (ENG)Jamaity
In 2021, countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) began to chart their path toward recovery from the myriad impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, the process of recovery—social, economic, and political proved to be both gradual and halting. Over the course of the year, CSOs in the region faced not only the ongoing impact of the pandemic, but also political unrest and financial uncertainty, yet continued to adapt to the difficult and shifting environment. The 2021 CSO Sustainability Index for MENA, which reports on the state of CSO sectors
in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia, and Yemen, outlines CSOs’ successes and obstacles in carrying out their missions.
L’intervention de l’UICN a également permis d’accompagner les partenaires dans la mise en oeuvre
de leurs Plans d’Actions Stratégiques.
Les résultats et réalisations présentés dans ce rapport donnent une photographie de la dynamique
de l’UICN dans la région et de sa contribution à la conservation, gestion durable du capital naturel et
aux objectifs du développement durable.
Le guide de plaidoyer, est un document né d’une collaboration entre l’association JAMAITY et son partenaire la fondation
CIDEAL dans le cadre du projet « Renforcement des capacités des réseaux, plateformes et autres collectifs pour la promotion
des Droits Humains et des Libertés Fondamentales en Tunisie par la formation, l'échange d'expériences et la dynamisation»
financé par la coopération Espagnole en Tunisie.
Ce guide vise à renforcer les connaissances des coalitions ciblées par le projet en plaidoyer ainsi de leur fournir des outils
et des moyens pratiques pour leur faciliter la mise en oeuvre des actions de plaidoyer efficaces.
Étant donné que le plaidoyer constitue l’une des grandes missions des coalitions dans leur travail quotidien, l’équipe du
projet a pensé à créer ce document d’une manière simple et pratique, permettant aux membres d’enrichir leurs bases de
connaissance mais aussi pouvoir pratiquer et appliquer ce qui est mentionner dans leurs activités ainsi que leur vie
associative quotidienne.
La levée des fonds ou la recherche de financements dénommé en anglais « Fundraising » consiste en un processus de
collecte de contributions sous forme d’argent ou d’autres ressources en sollicitant des dons à des particuliers, des entreprises,
des fondations caritatives ou des agences gouvernementales.
La levée des fonds est l’une des pièces les plus importantes du puzzle organisationnel, en effet en l’absence de financement,
une organisation ne pourra pas servir efficacement la cause qu’elle défend et répondre aux besoins de la communauté et
elle serait amenée à terme à disparaître.
La levée de fonds est une démarche stratégique à long terme laquelle engage l’ensemble de l’organisation, administrateurs,
permanents et bénévoles autour d’un projet.
En substance, le fundraising n’est pas une finalité en soi mais plutôt un moyen pour concrétiser des idées/ actions.
تسلط هذه الدراسة الضوء على الحق في السكن في تونس من خلال النظر في واقع وظروف عيش
المهاجرين من جنوب الصحراء في تونس. تعتمد الدراسة على مقاربة أنثروبولوجية وتستقي معطيات
الميدانية من جملة من المقابلات شبه المهيكلة مع عدد من المهاجرين المقيمين في احياء تونس
العاصمة، ما ساعد على استخلاص مادة كيفية للإجابة على الأسئلة التي تضعها الدراسة.
وتنظر الدراسة الى ديناميكيات السكن الخاصة بالمهاجرين سعيا الى مناقشة حدود وصولهم إلى هذا
الحق على مستويات مختلفة )سياسية، مؤسساتية، اجتماعية، شخصية، إلخ(، من خلال تحليل سرديات
فردية لفهم ظروف السكن وعوامل اختياره، بما في ذلك المحيط العمراني المباشر للمسكن. وتعتمد
الدراسة أساسا على مقاطعة مسارات البحث عن مسكن والولوج الى هذا الحق مع مسارات الهجرة
والعلاقة بين المهاجر والمجتمع المحلي، وصولا الى تقاطع الهامش الذي يشغله المهاجرون مع
الهوامش الاجتماعية المحلية والدور الذي تلعبه شبكات الأمان المجتمعي.

La présente étude a été conduite par Maram Tebbini pour le FTDES, membre du Arab Hub for Social Protection, et ce dans le cadre du projet de recherche « Social Protection in (post)Covid MENA ».
Il s’agit de la première partie d’un travail plus élaboré qui couvrira d’autres villes Tunisiennes à paraître en septembre 2022.
Rattaché au principe de la dignité, avoir droit à un logement signifie protéger la dignité et l’intégrité physique et psychique de l’individu. Ce droit implique l’accès à un logement sécurisé, habitable, doté de services nécessaires et situé à proximité des possibilités d’emploi, des services de santé, des écoles, des moyens de transports, etc. Le logement doit aussi être adapté à l’expression de l’identité culturelle des habitants. Ces conditions sont pourtant difficilement réunies même pour une bonne partie de Tunisiens marginalisés. La situation empire clairement pour d’autres groupes marginalisés, à savoir les migrants « subsahariens ». La visée de cette étude serait de décrire et de discuter les conditions de l’habitat de ces derniers.

Bulletin 200 days after Article 80-Concentration of powers (2).pdfJamaity
Two hundred days after the triggering of Article 80 by the President of the Republic Kais Saied, the hypotheses raised by the two previous bulletins -issued respectively 50 and 100 days after the onset of the state of exception- namely that of a “break in continuity”1, an “erosion of the rule of law and a threat to freedoms”2 are becoming more and more confirmed every day.
The authoritarian nature of the practice of power introduced by the President, who, since the so-called Decree 117, has had all the executive and legislative powers in his hands, is becoming established.
The Covid-19 pandemic & the evolution of migration intentions among Tunisian ...Jamaity

Normal life came to an abrupt halt in the first quarter of 2020 as the COVID-19 virus spread around the globe. Confronted by myriad unprecedented challenges, including political and economic unrest, the closure of civic space, and a decline in financial viability, CSOs in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) demonstrated remarkable resilience. They reacted quickly to the constantly changing circumstances by providing critical services, thereby demonstrating their value to the societies in which they are based. In addition, CSOs increasingly adopted new technologies, allowing them to develop new ways of working, providing services to their constituents, and increasing their own capacities. The pandemic thus served as a litmus test, both exposing CSOs’ vulnerabilities and highlighting their resilience. This year’s CSO Sustainability Index for MENA, which reports on the state of CSO sectors in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia, and Yemen, describes both these opportunities and challenges.

Deconstruire le mythe de la surete en TunisieJamaity
Le droit d’asile constitue un droit fondamental consacré tant par la Charte des droits fondamentaux de l’Union
européenne15 que par le droit italien.
Cependant, force est de constater la multiplication des obstacles pour limiter l’accès aux procédures d’asile.
Le concept de « pays d’origine sûr » permet ainsi de déclarer irrecevable une demande d’asile et de renvoyer le demandeur vers l’Etat concerné, sous prétexte que ce pays est sûr pour lui. Or, la Tunisie ne peut être
considérée comme absolument « sûr » pour toutes et tous ses ressortissants. Ce concept est donc incompatible avec le droit d’asile et les garanties à fournir à la population migrante.
L’utilisation de la notion de « sûreté » pour justifier la mise en place d’une procédure accélérée d’examen d’une demande d’asile implique non seulement un abaissement des garanties procédurales indispensables pour
assurer la qualité de cet examen, mais méconnait également la réalité de la situation particulière de nombreux tunisiens demandeurs d’asile.
En outre, l'instrumentalisation de ce concept permet une certaine standardisation des rapatriements vers la Tunisie – 1.997 Tunisiens en 2020 et 1.655 jusqu'à mi-novembre 2021 – qui reste le pays vers lequel l'Italie effectue le plus d'opérations de rapatriement.
Les organisations signataires entendent souligner la gravité de la situation vécue par de nombreux tunisien.ne.s victimes de violations graves de droits humains et appellent le gouvernement italien à renoncer à la notion de « pays d’origine sûr » qui vide le droit d’asile de sa substance.
