Introduction
This directory includes 80 organisations
that fund youth development work in
Palestine. A similar directory has been
developed for Egypt. Work on both
directories has been done in parallel. The
objective of these two directories is to
facilitate the search for funding for those
who work on youth development in Palestine
and Egypt.
The directory consists of three sections.
The first section lists all the
organisations described in detail in the
directory. The second part is the directory
itself. Each organisation contributing to
the directory and involved in funding youth
development in Palestine is listed on a
separate page. Organisations are listed
alphabetically. The last part of the
directory is a list of all organisations
contacted for the directory with a brief
note on their responses.
The table of information for each
organisation listed in the directory
includes the contact details (address,
telephone, fax, email and website), contact
person and position, geographical areas of
work of the organisation in MENA, the age of
the youth target group, the field of work of
the organisation and the type of activities
they do. Information about the type and size
of grant is also mentioned.
While we have tried to collect as much
information as possible, this directory
should not be considered a comprehensive
list. The directory was developed by
contacting a long list of funding agencies
and NGOs active in Palestine. Most
organisations were contacted through email
with follow-up contacts made by email and
phone. While most organisations provided
helpful responses, we were not able to
secure replies from a number of
organisations. The information in the
directory is based solely on the information
provided by responding organisations and
data collected from the internet. Where
information is missing in the different
entries, it has not been provided/available.
Given the large amount of data collected, we
hope you will forgive us for any errors made
in the entries. We welcome corrections if
you find any major errors. Please bear in
mind that the information for this directory
was mostly collected in the first half of
2005 and so may need updating. For
corrections or updates, please email Ahmad

We would like to thank all the organisations
that cooperated in providing the information
included in this directory and we hope that
youth organisations, youth workers and youth
advocates will find it a useful resource.
