- In 2001, DWRC implemented a pilot project with the Norwegian People’s Aid for creating 111 job opportunities in the Gaza Strip, in co-operation with the Palestinian Federation of Industries.
- This successful experiment motivated DWRC to design another larger project to create 1131 job opportunities for unemployed Gaza Strip workers in 2002, which was implemented through renewed support from the NPA. Our final evaluation of the project showed that 193 out of 1131 workers were offered permanent employment. In the years 2003-2004, the project was renewed with 1334 male and female workers distributed among 289 workplaces, and 227 workers were retained by employers after the project employment phases had ended. In 2005, a fourth project in the Gaza Strip allowed us to provide 512 job opportunities of two to three months to unemployed male and female workers in 189 factories and workshops. Seven workers, who benefited from these job opportunities, were permanently employed as a result of the project.
- In 2006, with the support of the Katholische Zentralstelle fur Entwicklungshilfe / Misereor, we extended our job creation program to the West Bank through a project giving priority access to job opportunities to young graduates, women and the disabled. Through this project, 748 workers obtained adequate job opportunities for 1 to 4 months depending on the employment phases; this allowed them to meet the basic needs of their families for this period. 43.7% of all workers who benefited from the project were women. In addition, 211 workers were retained by their employers after the project employment phases had ended (28% of the total number of employed through the project). 43.1% of them were women. The project was renewed for one year in 2007-2008. The first employment phase benefited 547 workers, among them 205 women (37.4% of all beneficiaries). 135 workers, 44 of them women, were retained by their employers (71 enterprises or organizations in the West Bank and 8 in the Gaza Strip) after the project employment phase had ended (25% of the total number of workers employed through the project’s first employment phase). 32.5% of them were women. 263 small and middle sized enterprises, companies and organizations contributed to and benefited from the project, including companies working in construction, agribusiness, manufacture, health, education, trade and services sectors, and were able to improve their production levels, quality of services and sustainability through the first employment phase. In particular, 5 enterprises in the West Bank (3 in Hebron and 2 in Jenin) were able to reopen and get back to market through the project support. In 2007, the Presbyterian Hunger Program has also made a contribution towards the creation of job opportunities.
- In 2007, in both the West Bank and Gaza Strip, we were also able to another job creation project in partnership with FOS and with the support of the Flemish Agency for International Co-operation. The employment phases benefited 290 workers, among them 128 women (44% of all beneficiaries), as well as 167 employers. 72 workers, 40 of them women, were retained by their employers (30 enterprises in the Nablus area, 11 in the Hebron area and 6 in the Gaza Strip) after the project employment phases had ended (25% of the total number of workers employed through the project). 55.5% of them were women. 170 small and middle sized enterprises, companies and organizations benefited from the project, including in the construction, agriculture, manufacture, health, education, trade and services sectors, and were able to improve their production levels, quality of services and sustainability.

In 2006, with the support of the Katholische Zentralstelle fur Entwicklungshilfe / Misereor, we extended our job creation program to the West Bank through a project giving priority access to job opportunities to young graduates, women and the disabled. Through this project, 748 workers obtained adequate job opportunities for 1 to 4 months depending on the employment phases; this allowed them to meet the basic needs of their families for this period. 43.7% of all workers who benefited from the project were women. In addition, 211 workers were retained by their employers after the project employment phases had ended (28% of the total number of employed through the project). 43.1% of them were women.
