CALL FOR PROPOSALS

Social Recovery and Job Creation Project
Support to Women and the Disabled
With financing from the World Bank through the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation, the NGO Development Center (NDC) announces the availability of funding to Palestinian Nongovernmental Organizations (NGOs) operating in the West Bank, through a call for proposals under the “Social Recovery and Job Creation Project”.
The call for proposals is dedicated to support women and persons with disabilities (PWD) to grow and sustain existing businesses or create new ones. Women and persons with disabilities are active in a broad range of sectors as producers, such as agriculture and handicrafts; importers; service providers, such as tailoring, food, cleaning; and processors, such as beauty products and value addition in the agriculture sector, where many struggle with product certification. The project aims to improve both business management practices and access to finance. Grant funding will be provided under the project for individuals and for groups of women/cooperatives to sustain and scale businesses and offered to grantees without any additional funding stipulations
