Juhoud
Juhoud for Community and Rural Development "is a Palestinian nongovernmental organization. It was established in 2002 as a response to the deteriorated political and economic situations in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Since the inception of Juhoud, it was imperative to keep the welfare of the rural, low-income, and impoverished communities in the heart of the organization?s mission and activities. In order to meet this goal, Juhoud has implemented over 25 projects since 2002 with over half million dollars budget on projects related to humanitarian assistance; economic development; training and consulting; women and youth empowerment; democracy and good governance." [1]
"In 2004, through its involvement in the USAID-funded Civil Society and Democracy Strengthening Project, AMIDEAST supported voter education efforts of civil society organizations (CSOs) in the West Bank and Gaza. One of these was the Ramallah-based Juhoud for Community and Rural Development, which used its Civil Society and Democracy Strengthening Project grant to hold a series of meet the candidate forums and to hang posters informing citizens of election dates and locations." [2]
In 2007 Juhoud received a small grant from the Middle East Partnership Initiative. [3]
