These grants are designed to create partnerships between community-based NGOs of limited experience with leading experienced NGOs operating on a national scale. These partner NGOs will be able to improve the quality and effectiveness of their services by learning from the professionalized mentor NGO in areas such as project management. Partner NGOs will benefit from greater access to funds and from closer interaction with competent and experience NGOs.
GIAs were signed on February 11, 2008 with 8 mentor NGOs (6 from the West Bank and 2 from Gaza) for a total amount of USD 2,238,000.
In turn, those mentor NGOs went on to partner with a total of 45 small NGOs (34 from the West Bank and 11 from Gaza) that will implement project activities.
