Background of NPA:
Norwegian People’s Aid – Lebanon (NPA) started its work in Lebanon after the Israeli invasion in 1982. NPA was legalized in Lebanon in 1990 as a branch of an international NGO through the presidential decree number 829/1990. The majority of NPA’s projects in Lebanon are funded by Norwegian MFA.
NPA-Lebanon works on:
1. Supporting Lebanese and Palestinian actors working on Palestinian rights.
2. Supporting actors working on women’s rights.
3. Supporting actors working on democratization in Lebanon and in the Palestinian community.
4. Supporting actors working on emergency preparedness, response and humanitarian aid including health and disability.
5. Supporting actors working on youth empowerment.
Background of the YCDI project:
The YCDI project has been initiated in Norway by the Norwegian Labor Party after the success of a previous initiative known as Women Can Do It project funded and initiated by the same party. Both projects have had the objective of empowering marginalized groups -youth and women- to become active members of their affiliated political party and society. Norwegian People’s Aid has copied these two projects in many underdeveloped countries where they have been working such as in Lebanon.
NPA-Lebanon has started the YCDI project in 2010 with the aim of empowering Palestinian refugees youth to become active member of their society, particularly in the camps where more than 50% of the Palestinian refugees population is still living.[1]
According to UNRWA the registered Palestinian refugees in Lebanon are 447,328[2], Palestinian youth constitute the majority of them, and like elsewhere in the MENA region, they have been marginalized from the decision-making process. The Arab Spring is the latest demonstration of their marginalization. In Lebanon, Palestinian youth have been extremely marginalized from their community, except in the camps of Beirut[3] where several projects have contributed to increase their skills and to fund their own initiatives. While in other camps youth have been extremely marginalized and therefore their experience, knowledge and level of commitment to the society remains extremely limited, especially on social and political issues.
The YCDI project teaches youth various skills and provides trainings to build their leadership and contribute to the community in the way they can. The YCDI project activities consist of:
A series of 6 TOTs during two years which focuses on skills related to the objectives of the project: a. Training Skills, b. Political Intervention, c. Events Management, d. Mobilization of the Mass, e. Communication and Media and f. Sustainability of a Group. During the second phase of the project (2014-2017), “Events Management” is the third TOT that will be taking place, after two TOTs on “Training Skills” and “Youth Political Intervention”. The series of six TOTs will last for 2 years with the same beneficiaries.
Peers-to-peers training, where trainees in TOTs become trainers in their own community on the different skills they will learn during the 2-year cycle of TOTs (topics mentioned above, in addition to topics requested by the youth themselves such as project management skills, reporting skills, multimedia training, etc.).
Local actions and initiatives designed and implemented by youth that serve the objective of the project.
Political dialogue on youth participation in several camps.
Objective of the TOT:
Develop and deliver a three-day Training of Trainers to a group of 26 youth trainers - representing either partners’ organizations, youth organizations working in Palestinian camps, youth activists working independently in Palestinian camps and in universities-. The participants will be provided with methods, tools and approaches related to events management.
As a result, ToT will contribute to the empowering of the group of Palestinian youth trainers with knowledge and skills in order to transfer the know how to their peers and organisations.
