USAID/Ruwwad YDRC English Language Training Program
AMIDEAST is implementing an English Language Training program through a subgrant from EDC –Ruwwad Youth Empowerment Program funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
The program will teach English to Palestinian youth served by the Youth Development Resource Centers (YDRCs) in Hebron, Nablus, and Ramallah/El-Bireh. AMIDEAST will upgrade the English language proficiency of an estimated 900 youth by the conclusion of this 11-month program, including high school students, college students, students about to enter the workforce, and working youth. AMIDEAST proposes to not only train Palestinian youth served by the YDRCs, but also to build capacity within the YDRC network and the Palestinian community as a whole to deliver English training by providing fresh graduates from English Language programs at Palestinian universities with training in the field of Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL), who will then teach English at the YDRCs.

Sader Publishers
|
In a previous TAG project with the State Council, Sader Publishers (SP) made the Council’s procedures and rules widely accessible to citizens through a user-friendly guide and a free access website explaining the State Council’s procedures, services, and work. The State Council's library, however, lacks the necessary updating and modernization, so any endeavors to study cases, or refer to precedents and laws, take many days of laborious research. This public-private partnership between Sader, the State Council, and the Ministry of Justice will update, catalogue, and develop the State Council's paper library and create an electronic library to enable its judges to be better equipped for making fair and prompt decisions and consultations. This project will provide the judges with easy access to updated laws, decisions, legal studies and related subjects. The library itself will be partially refurbished and prepared with all essential assets needed to accommodate the e-library, as the plan for the legal information (laws, decisions, and legal studies) needed for the e-library is developed. Cataloguing software will be developed and installed to include the complete library collections. |
