MEAL Consultant

MEAL Planning, Executing and Reporting for 3 years project

Introduction
7amleh - The Arab Center for the Advancement of Social Media is a non-profit, non-governmental
organisation that aims to empower the Palestinian and Arab civil society in digital advocacy by
building professional capabilities, defending digital rights, and creating effective media campaigns.

The virtual world has become the primary space where children and youth across the occupied
Palestinian territories spend their time, as well as where they express their opinions and political
views. However, 87% of Palestinian children and youth rarely or never participate in political
discussions online due to fear of prosecution from authorities who monitor their social media
content. In addition to being under surveillance and targeted by governmental authorities, many
youth are exposed to cyber bullying, pornographic material, extortion, theft of personal virtual
accounts and personal information, social or political persecutions from sharing personal
opinions, sexual harassment, and other forms of abuse. Furthermore, concentrated efforts to
censor the voices of young people by the Israeli and Palestinian governmental actors, as well as
social media platforms has greatly impacted many Palestinian youth activists, who use their
social media accounts to document their lived experiences and share their perspective on social
and political issues. Furthermore, youth have been at the heart of many of the recent
movements for political change, and social media networks are seen as critical tools for political
participation and a means to bring about political reform and the protection of human rights in
Palestine.

Through this proposed action, 7amleh will utilise its extensive experience working to ensure
greater protection of Youth digital rights. This will be accomplished through targeted research
designed to highlight the current challenges, threats and opportunities that exist for Palestinian
youth within the digital space, across the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza Strip, as well as
advocacy campaigns designed to promote the protection of the rights of Palestinian youth
online.

7amleh is requesting applications for a MEAL Consultant to conduct a clear MEAL plan to ensure
effective and efficient implementation throughout the life-cycle of the project.
This project aims at pushing for systematic changes in the education system, policy makers and
communities. It is essential that the learning and recommendation from each step of the project
are well documented and analysed.
