Occupied Palestinian Territory : An external evaluation of PUI’s project


Context

Established in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (oPt) since 2002, PUI aims to maintain or to improve the food security and the means of living of the most vulnerable populations who are directly affected by the protracted protection crisis.

The French Biblical School of Jerusalem (EBAF) is a worldwide famous research institute specialized in archaeology and is in charge of the two selected sites in close collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities (MoTA). This project aims at combining the strength of both institutions to achieve remarkable protection and promotion of Palestinian cultural heritage while providing humanitarian assistance to vulnerable population (i.e. some of the manual activities will be implemented by PUI’s beneficiaries).

The evaluation should take place between December 8 and 15, 2019.  It is substantial that the different actors of the program meet in situ while the action is still ongoing before the scheduled end of the program on December 31, 2019.  The final report should be submitted in English to PUI by January 15, 2020.
