الوصف الوظيفي:About Taawon (Welfare Association):
Taawon (Welfare Association) is a non-profit, civic organization launched in Geneva in the year 1983, upon the initiative of a group of Palestinian business leaders and intellectuals. Taawon has become one of the largest organizations operating in Palestine and the diaspora camps in Lebanon, whereby it touches the lives of more than one million Palestinians on an annual basis, with half of these beneficiaries being women.
Purpose of the Assignment:
The Senior Consultant, Global Partnerships and NGO Development will serve as a strategic bridge between Palestinian civil society organizations and the international ecosystem of institutions, networks, and supporters.

Develop tailored approaches that help organizations become more visible, accessible, and attractive to prospective international partners.
Provide recommendations for strengthening institutional positioning and partnership readiness.
Organizational Profiling and Strategic Communications
Support Palestinian organizations in packaging and communicating their work effectively to international audiences.
Develop organizational profiles, presentations, partnership briefs, case studies, impact stories, and other materials that showcase the strengths, achievements, and potential of participating organizations.
Contribute to elevating Palestinian voices, expertise, and narratives within international civil society, academic, and cultural spaces.
Capacity Building and Mentorship
Provide mentoring and advisory support to participating organizations on topics including donor engagement, partnership development, institutional communications, international networking, and relationship management.
Support organizations in navigating international partnership processes and strengthening their engagement capabilities.
Convening and Network Building
Organize and facilitate webinars, networking events, exchange visits, study tours, and partnership missions.
Build and nurture a network of institutional allies and supporters committed to long-term engagement with Palestinian civil society.
Promote opportunities for collaboration, learning, and exchange between Palestinian and international organizations.
Resource Mobilization Support
Identify funding opportunities relevant to participating organizations and facilitate introductions to prospective supporters.
Support partnership development efforts through concept notes, institutional presentations, and proposal development where appropriate.
Contribute to mobilizing both financial and non-financial resources, including technical assistance, academic cooperation, institutional exchanges, and strategic partnerships.
