| Hintergrund |
The Gaza Strip has been under siege since 2007. In July 2014, 51 days of armed conflict resulted in huge human losses (over 2’200 casualties in Gaza), devastation of infrastructure, productive assets and resources. The population is facing a severe humanitarian crisis, high unemployment rates particularly affecting youth and women, generalized de-development and unsustainable food insecurity levels. 80% of the population are estimated to be dependent on humanitarian aid for survival |
| Ziele |
Early recovery and rapid return to sustainable development pathways are achieved in post-conflict and post-disaster settings |
| Zielgruppen |
252 female and male youth (30% females, 20% disabled), impacting at least 1500 Gazans (family members), and the Community Based Organisations (CBOs) and municipalities involved in the program activities |
| Mittelfristige Wirkungen |
Early economic revitalization generates jobs and other environmentally sustainable livelihood opportunities for crisis-affected youth. |
