الوصف الوظيفي
BACKGROUND

Improvement of living and socio-economic conditions of Palestinian refugee camps remains as one of the most serious challenges for both refugees and the Palestinian Authority (PA). As situations in the camps have changed over the years, there is now a substantial gap between services provided by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and the demand of the refugees in the camps both in terms of quantity and quality. The developmental needs including rehabilitation of worn-out infrastructure and support to livelihood and employment remain mostly unmet and are left to the limited efforts of Popular Committees (PC) of the camps as well as ad hoc support from international communities. PA also recognizes the issue of refugee camp improvement as one of its priorities in the National Development Plan (2014-2016).

Based on the request from the Department of Refugee Affairs (DoRA) of the Palestinian Liberation Organization to the Government of Japan (GoJ) to provide assistance for the Project with the objective of improving the capacity of DoRA, and the relevant community groups necessary for camp improvement, the “Refugee Camp Improvement Project” (PALCIP) was commenced in January 2017. Three refugee camps were selected as pilot project sites; Aqbat Jabr Refugee Camp (AJ), Old Askar Refugee Camp (OA), and Jalazone Refugee Camp (JZ).

In OA, the PALCIP in cooperation with the PC established a “Camp Improvement Forum” (CIF), and assigned representatives from identified 8 different socio-economic segments from the camp. A social baseline survey, a series of workshops, and meetings were conducted to identify the development needs of the camp. Based on the identified needs, the CIF and DoRA agreed to implement Infrastructure and Non-Infrastructure pilot projects, and the project on ‘Awareness Raising on Public and Social Inclusion’ was selected to be implemented as Non-Infrastructure pilot project.

OBJECTIVE OF THE WORK

The main objective of this work is to contribute to awareness raising on social cohesion in the OA camp, by strengthening awareness and skills of youth and women to address issues faced by youth, women, and residents with special needs. Through the Leadership Skills Training provision, the targeted youth and women are expected to be equipped with skills to implement their community-based actions. Planning, development, and implementation of the community-based actions are to be overseen by a consultant, and technical support to be provided to enable the youth and women address the issues faced by the above-mentioned camp resident groups.
