Describe the context and analyze the problem. The northern West Bank faces significant challenges due to the ongoing occupation, political instability, and escalating settler violence. The situation worsened in 2025 with increased military operations, settler attacks, and property destruction, resulting in widespread displacement, psychological trauma, and disruption of daily life. Areas such as Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarm, Qalqilya, and Tubasespecially the camps and rural villagesare among the most marginalized and vulnerable in Palestine. Local organizations such as the Palestinian Civil Defense face immense pressure, struggling to respond effectively due to limited resources, a lack of trained personnel, and the absence of community support systems. At the same time, Palestinian youthparticularly those aged 13 to 17are experiencing increasing psychological and social stress, with a dearth of structured programs that can engage them constructively or foster their sense of purpose and role. In response, the proposed project seeks to establish youth support groups composed of adolescents from various areas of the northern West Bank. These groups will receive training in basic civil defense skills, emergency awareness, and community mobilization. They will play a key role in supporting local emergency response efforts, raising awareness among their peers, and contributing to protecting and strengthening the resilience of their communities. By investing in youth as actors rather than passive victims, the project addresses two urgent needs: strengthening the overstretched emergency response system and empowering youth to contribute to building safer and more resilient communities. It also offers a sustainable model that aims not only to enhance local preparedness but also to instill leadership and hope in the next generation. Scope of work Community Media Consultants/Trainers.
