Economic Empowerment Program Coordinator
Job Description
Throughout 2011, CARE in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) conducted a situational analysis in order to inform our process of long-term strategic thinking. The analysis investigated the legitimacy of our presence as an international organization and ways to ensure greater relevance for future CAREs future program in the oPt. The outcome of this process has thoroughly affirmed the need to redesign our role, and the legitimacy of our presence as an international organization.
These changes will see CARE shift from a service delivery approach to a rights based approach with advocacy focusing on the Rights of Palestinians positioned at the very core of all our program work. CAREs work in Palestine will focus on two core themes of Gender Equity and Economic Empowerment working with civil society, the Palestinian Authority, academic institutes, the private sector and international organizations.
Truly embodying this strategy and new identity will mean changing our overall operating model, including our structure, systems and processes; our core organizational competencies; our regional and global connections
and our understanding and approach to working with others. Over the coming months, this will mean bringing in new and additional skills and competencies to the CARE team in oPt, this is a very exciting time and CARE is therefore pleased to announce the following vacancies:
