What Ministère de la Jeunesse et du sport does

The Ministère de la Jeunesse et du sport (Ministry of Youth and Sports of Tunisia, وزارة الشباب والرياضة) is a Tunisian government ministry headquartered in Tunis that holds exclusive national authority over youth policy, sports development, and physical education. It operates through a network of 24 regional delegations covering all Tunisian governorates, supervising youth centers, sports complexes, training institutes, the Centre National de Médecine et Sciences du Sport, the Agence Nationale de Lutte contre le Dopage, the Observatoire National de la Jeunesse, and over 40 national sports federations across disciplines including football, handball, athletics, judo, taekwondo, rowing, and triathlon. The ministry employs approximately 1,125 staff and is led by Minister Sadek Morali.

The ministry's core offerings are public programs rather than commercial products. Its product surface spans youth programs (summer activities, youth tourism, Volont'ACT volunteer initiative, exchange programs, youth entrepreneurship support), sports programs (elite athlete development, sports federations, international competition participation, anti-doping enforcement), physical education (curriculum, recruitment of 726 secondary school PE teachers in 2026, pedagogical inspection), and institutional services (youth associations directory, project incubation, investor support unit, Radio Web Youth). Underlying technology is limited to digital transformation initiatives for youth engagement and the National Sports Observatory for sports data and research, with no disclosed proprietary technology stack.

The ministry operates entirely on government budget allocations from the Tunisian state, with no commercial revenue generation, no pricing model, and no investor funding. GTM is purely event-driven and public-sector: programs are delivered through regional delegations, youth centers, sports facilities, schools, and universities, with communications via official website (mjs.tn), Facebook regional pages, Radio Web Youth, press releases, and in-person events. International representation includes a 41-athlete delegation to the 2025 Islamic Solidarity Games in Riyadh, where Tunisia won 18 medals (4 gold, 4 silver, 10 bronze).
