The NGO Development Center (NDC) announces the availability of funding to Palestinian civil society organisations (CSOs) through a call for proposals under AJIR+ programme funded by the Agence Française de Développement (AFD).
The call for proposals is dedicated to supporting vulnerable populations, in particular women in their access to essential services.
Designed with the overarching goal of contributing to the full emancipation of Palestinian youth, this call for proposals aims at meeting the needs of vulnerable populations through fair and equal access to social and local services.
It will be dedicated to providing social and legal services to vulnerable populations in order to improve their living conditions. A strong emphasis will thus be placed on social inclusion and professional integration or reintegration of marginalized populations (women, the elderly, people with disabilities. people exposed to violence, etc.).
