Hard rules - do not miss
- This is commercial finance, NOT a grant — full debt repayment or equity return obligations apply.
- Commercially feasible enterprise with audited financials, feasibility study, and lender-grade documentation is required before OPEC Fund engagement.
- Project must generate meaningful economic and social benefits in Tunisia — development impact must be explicit and evidenced.
Bottom line
Valid medium-term target (18–24 months). Build the lender-grade package first: audited financials, feasibility study, financial model, ESIA, offtake agreements. Then approach the OPEC Fund private sector team.

Agent advice
This is an 18–24 month horizon target — the Skhira pilot must mature from concept to a bankable operating platform before approaching the OPEC Fund.
Prepare the full commercial package first: audited financials, feasibility study, financial model, ESIA, and offtake agreements. Approach only when investment-ready.
