International Women's Day 2021
Roula HANDAL | 10/06/2021
As recently reiterated by our Belgian Minister of Development Cooperation, Meryame Kitir, “Women and girls are drivers of change for development, and they should be encouraged in their leadership aspirations.”Last year has been incredibly difficult for everyone. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected health, economies, labour markets, and worldwide and almost every aspect of our lives. For women, the pandemic has been particularly challenging. Women were at the forefront of the pandemic response. However, despite COVID-19’s massive disruption to all spheres of lives, the pandemic has also shed light on an important opening to rethink women’s roles as role models in their community.Enabel joined the global celebration of International Women's Day with the theme “Women in leadership: Achieving an equal future in a COVID-19 world” and the tremendous efforts by women and girls in shaping a more equal future and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Team Belgium (Enabel Palestine and the Consulate-General of Belgium in Jerusalem) took this opportunity to put inspirational women and their male allies in the spotlight and share their story.Women in Leadership - YouTubeOn March 10th we held a round-table discussion on women leadership and positive masculinities in Palestine.

A Skills Development Fund - governance and financing of the TVET system
Roula HANDAL | 10/06/2021
Under the first result of the Skilled Young Palestine (SYP) Project, Skills Development Funds (SDF) will be developed and implemented to contribute to the establishment of an institutional framework for skills development funding and governance in Palestine, whereby the set-up will mirror the future TVET commission. The SDF will serve as a flexible financing mechanism to stimulate bottom-up initiatives and partnerships between training institutions (public or private not-for-profit training providers) and the private sector, as well as social partners, in order to provide flexible, qualitative and demand-driven, i.e. labour market relevant, training and to facilitate the transition from the world of school (training institutions) to the world of work.A coaching trajectory to facilitate the set-up and the implementation of the SDF has started in 2020 and brought all stakeholders around the table to define the roles and responsibilities and set up a mechanism for social dialogue. The results of these round table discussions will result in a hands-on blueprint (with manual) that can be used by interested parties to facilitate the organisation and financing of skills development. The first results of the pilot that is taking place will feed into this manual.

RiSE project finalized rehabilitation works in 3 schools
Roula HANDAL | 10/06/2021
In Al-Hasan Al-Thany school, Wadi Al-Joz, the space for a Fablab with an external working area was created. In this Fablab the students will receive technological, innovative, and creative training where they can further develop their 21st Century skills.In Al-Rawdah Al-Haditha, the only public school located in Zaayem suburb, a school extension was built to create 6 much-needed additional classrooms and a counselor room. Until now, the school was mixed only up to 8th grade and girls-only upwards, leaving teenage boys with no option to complete their education locally and leading to a high school drop-out. The new extension will allow them to complete their curriculum from kindergarten to grade 12 within the same school.In Jabal Al-Mukabber a kindergarten unit was created. With an education in East Jerusalem under constant pressure and ever-increasing threat, offering free early childhood education within Palestinian public schools is a key element to ensure the freedom of choice to follow one’s curriculum and narrative from the start. The whole school, together with 9 extra schools selected for the RiSE project, will be further rehabilitated in 2021.

Rehabilitation, transformation and extension works in three Waqf schools in Jerusalem and Zaayem
Roula HANDAL | 10/06/2021
For the Resilience in Schools of East Jerusalem (RiSE) project, and notwithstanding the current Covid-19 crisis, Enabel is implementing rehabilitation, transformation and extension works in three Waqf schools in Jerusalem and Zaayem this summer 2020. These works, funded by the European Union and Belgium, will allow the creation of a kindergarten, a FabLab and additional classrooms. The creation of a kindergarten is highly needed since there are not sufficient Waqf kindergartens in Jerusalem.In Zaayem there are no public secondary schools for boys. Additional classrooms will be built on top of the only existing school, so that teenage boys don't need to cross a checkpoint anymore to reach their schools.In Wadi al-Joz the first FabLab will be installed, making it our pilot for their creation in other schools. FabLabs are digital fabrication laboratories where you can innovate and develop almost anything by using advanced technology and 21st-century skills. The installed FabLabs will be accessible for multiple schools making it a creative space for young students to collaborate and create.
