Nos Programmes conjoints

Gender equality and women's empowerment in the OPT
Women in the Occupied Palestinian Territory suffer from high levels of poverty and unemployment, with women refugees particularly vulnerable. The rate of female participation in the labor market in the West Bank and Gaza stood at 13.4 % in 2006, half the average rate in Arab countries and one of the lowest in the world. The Joint Programme promoted Palestinian women's social, economic and political empowerment and worked to reduce gender-based violence by encouraging women's political voice, increasing their opportunities to obtain decent and productive work, and improving their access to protection and justice.
Culture and Development
The Occupied Palestinian Territory has suffered from slowing growth and high unemployment in recent years, particularly among women and youth. The Joint Programme's goal was to create sustainable socio-economic development in the West Bank and Gaza through culture-related activities and tailor-made programmes based on the notion of cultural diversity.
