The NGO Development Center (NDC) has announced the availability of funding to Palestinian civil society organisations (CSOs) through a call for proposals under AJIR – Action for East Jerusalem’s Identity and Resilience programme.
The call for proposals is dedicated to large investments developed by CSOs targeting education, culture and youth-related needs and aims at improving education and cultural services provided to youth. Duration of the selected projects is expected not to exceed 3 years.
Designed with the overarching goal of contributing to the full emancipation of Palestinian youth, the call for proposals aims at providing funding to finance construction or renovation works in order to remove material constraints which prevent the development of quality education and cultural provisions and infrastructures (lack of classrooms, poor premises conditions, etc.).
