MA’AN Development Center is an independent Palestinian non-profit organization, established in Jerusalem in January 1989. Through a human rights-based approach and active community partnerships, MA’AN focuses on empowering marginalized individuals and groups, enhancing their resilience, and promoting their participation in sustainable development. MA'AN’s mission is to support these communities to recover from crises and realize their full potential.

About the Project:

This project is designed to strengthen the resilience of young women and men, as well as their local communities, in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with a particular focus on the Jordan Valley and Northern Gaza Strip—key agricultural regions.

The primary target group includes unemployed young women and men aged 18-29, as well as enterprises. The project also aims to support agribusinesses, agri-tourism initiatives, agricultural cooperatives, women’s enterprises, and technology or Innovation Transfer Hubs to address existing skills gaps.

The project’s relevant outcome, led by MA’AN, is to empower crisis-affected young women in Gaza by improving their access to gender-responsive TVET, thereby enhancing their livelihoods and resilience within the agribusiness and agri-tourism sectors. During the project period, the following outputs will be achieved:

• Informing and supporting young Palestinian women to enroll in TVET programs focused on agribusiness and agri-tourism.
