Tamouah (ambition)- promoting social entrepreneurship among young Palestinians
Having began in 2012, Tomooh Project that targets the youth and the youth
organizations (CBOs) in 5 Palestinian governorates (Ramallah, Nablus, Salfeet,
Qalqlya and Tulkarem). It aims at enhancing the youth participation in their local
communities for the long run. This will be achieved through building capacities for
10 youth organizations on one hand, and building the capacities of 150 youth (gender
sensitive) on the other, and through supporting 10 social initiatives designed, led and
managed by the youth in order to actually enhance their participation in the
development of their societies, in which will help in changing the traditional view
towards youth role in the decision making process.
Juhoud, through this project, worked on tow levels and therefore towards strengthening the
leadership of young people in targeted areas. We will be working through building
the capacity of youth organizations to form the incubator of youth initiatives towards
greater participation in decision-making on the local level. In a second stage we will

decision making. It should be noted here that the project will be implemented in
partnership and coordination with local councils, youth (in the villages where there
are such councils) or youth organizations active on the local level.
