The Support fund : Recommandations

§         Our main priorities regarding the projects:

-         Projects mainly targeting 3 to 12 year-old children;

-         Projects that consider children as “actors”, participating in their own development;

-         Projects in which the priority is given to the development process of the child;

-         Projects which can contribute to activate the process of resilience;

-         Projects developing the access to the culture of sport activities;

-         Projects developing “play” as a tool for the education and development of children;

-         Projects focusing on the creative and inventive activities for children.

§         Role of the projects in the PIA:

The cross-cutting and common activities implemented by the PIA are the heart of this Programme. The participation of Palestinian and French organizations in these activities is an important and decisive factor in the process of selection of the projects for the Support Fund.

It allows different actors/partners of the PIA to enhance their practices by the production and the exchange of knowledge and expertise. The objectives of these activities are to enable the different organisations acting in different sectors to create interdisciplinary programmes and moreover to share their expertise and know-how.

The projects implemented by the French NGOs and the projects co-funded by the Support Fund can contribute to the development of a new educative and pedagogical approach and that of organization interventions in the field of development in crisis countries.

In this logic, the cross-cutting and common activities can become the supporting mechanism to write together a new 3-year-Programme. Consequently the values and objectives of this future Programme will be created jointly by the different parties.

These cross-cutting and common activities could include: training for actors in the field of childhood, seminars on the exchange of practices, workshops on different topics of PIA, capacity building for the organizations, visits to the projects of different partners, assessments on certain key issues, and so on.
