PU-AMI is a French non-governmental, not-for-profit organization working in the field of international solidarity.
Since 2002, PU-AMI has implemented humanitarian projects in the occupied Palestinian territory in response to the Second Intifada (2002-2002).
 
PU-AMI has then started since 2012 to undertake a protection approach in its humanitarian programs that focus on protecting livelihoods and securing economic access to food in communities where populations are directly exposed to violations of Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law (IHL), and at-risk of forced displacement. PU-AMI’s Protection projects include: support to farmers whose lands are located in access restricted areas and near settlements during the Olive Harvest season, reporting on settlers’ violence and Israeli Security Forces (ISF) attacks, providing protective response to households and communities to mitigate the threats of settlers violence. Areas of intervention have been targeted based on protection criteria such as villages and agricultural lands totally or partially located in Area C, villages close to settlements or to the Wall of Separation (West Bank).
 
 
MdM (Médecins du Monde) is an international humanitarian organization providing medical care to the most vulnerable populations affected by war, natural disasters, disease, famine, poverty and exclusion, those who do not have access to health care, those who the world is gradually forgetting.
 
MdM is implementing health programmes in the Northern West Bank since 1999 and in the Gaza strip since 2002. The increasingly recurrent violent acts of settlers in the West Bank continue to negatively impact the well-being of Palestinian populations. Therefore, MdM remains committed to strengthen emergency response capacities and to improve mental health care for Palestinians
 
Present in the West Bank since 1999, MdM puts in place programmes aiming to improve access to mental health services for Palestinians living in Nablus governorate and the Northern West Bank, as well as limiting the impact of settlers’ violence on the well-being of the population.
 
 
Mental health as part of national services to Palestinians
From 2010 to 2012, MdM worked to integrate mental health services into 10 primary health care centres in Nablus governorate. Following this first initiative, MdM France (MdM F) and MdM Switzerland (MdM CH) elaborated a three-year project in close collaboration with the Palestinian Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education, and with a local partner, the Palestinian Counseling Center (PCC), to improve the access and the quality of mental health services to the population of Nablus governorate, with a special focus on children and teenagers.
 
As part of a project funded by the European Commission – Humanitarian Aid & Civil Protection (ECHO), PU-AMI and MdM wish to recruit an external consultant to undertake a study research aiming at showing the correlation between settler violence / access restriction and forcible transfer. The research should also link it to the broader picture of settlements’ expansion.
