Program Objectives: All proposed projects must aim to advance the U.S.OPA-PD mission goals stated above, contain a substantive American element, and achieve at least one of the following specific objectives: • Young Palestinians between the ages of 14-35 increase their knowledge of peacebuilding, nonviolent activism, social change, negotiation, debate skills, conflict resolution, and civic education; • Young Palestinians between the ages of 14-35 imagine alternatives to occupation, violence, despair, or apathy; • Training and capacity building for civil society leaders to continue working with youth on nonviolent activism and peacebuilding; • Creating discussion groups among youth about the two-state solution, its history, and imagining and discussing options for solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; • Cooperation in project implementation between two civil society organizations • Alumni of U.S. government programs and exchanges, this could include building upon previous programs or launching new initiatives with alumni from past projects • Grassroots elements that support underserved communities.

This project proposal does not need to have an Israeli element or a component of bringing Israelis and Palestinians together, but it must be building the conditions and laying the groundwork for a negotiated solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Please describe your theory of change and how you believe your project serves this goal as part of your proposal.

The work plan should identify clear problems related to the strategic goals described herein, and propose feasible solutions based on a concrete and coherent methodology to address the problems identified. We encourage proposals that show creative solutions.
