West Bank & Gaza

West Bank / Gaza

Building the capacities of its executive staff and General Assembly (GA) members, MUSAWA organized a staff training on 18/12/2017, with the participation of the Chairman of MUSAWA’s Board of Directors (BoD), its Treasurer, and a GA and BoD member. MUSAWA’s team in Bethlehem and Gaza were connected via Skype. The training addressed the main principles of anti-corruption, and it was facilitated by MUSAWA’s Financial Manager Marina Qaqish, who used a variety of references: the studies published by the International Bank, the Danish Church Aid, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Transparency International, the Convention against Corruption, and the current law on anti-corruption.

The trainer focused on both the theoretical and practical training methods. Moreover, the training tackled MUSAWA’s internal administrative and financial procedures and their contribution in creating a work environment free from corruption.

The training was followed by two sessions of discussion. The first session discussed the status of MUSAWA in terms of strengths as well as weaknesses, in addition to MUSAWA’s anticipated role in the future. The second session addressed how the external environment will influence the execution of MUSAWA’s action plan over the next two years while staying faithful to its core strategies and policies and in accordance with the financial resources available, in addition to some of the changes to be made in terms of MUSAWA’s performance at the programs level.
