Working context
WeWorld GVC has been working in Palestine since 1992 and is currently supporting vulnerable populations both in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank through multi-sectorial interventions, encompassing WASH, livelihoods, gender, good governance, rural development. WeWorld-GVC is active both in humanitarian and developmental interventions, and recently developed its Nexus approach, implemented with the involvement of several partners and stakeholders, national and international. The general aim of the organization is to provide the communities and the local actors the possibility to take informed decisions and increase their agency and their resilience.
The mission counts five offices (Jerusalem, Ramallah, Gaza, Tubas and Hebron) and around 45 employees. The main donors are ECHO, EU, AICS, UN, SIDA, GIZ and more.
The consolidation of the PA institutional infrastructure opens to foster democratic participation of civil society, through the improvement of representative processes and the implementation of specific effective tools to promote dialogue. These criteria, together with the empowerment of vulnerable communities and people, should lead any kind of intervention, preparing both decentralized institution and civil society to better advocate for a final recognition of Palestinian statehood.
WeWorld-GVC focuses strategically on these main sectors:
Gender mainstream, special attention to vulnerable categories, community-based approach and good governance are cross-cutting issues included in all WeWorld-GVC interventions.
