EDUCATIONThe Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education has established an Educational Devel-opmental Strategic Plan to improve the quality of education. BTC supports the following com-ponents of the plan:
1. SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION: improve infrastructure and create a healthy and safe educational environ-ment. BTC also trains teachers and administra-tive personnel on how to use the equipment.
2. E-LEARNING: propose an e-learning curriculum that allows students to become autonomous and active learners.
3. TECHNICAL AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION: BTC’s pri-ority areas of training are: electro-technology, electronics, communications and information technology, and business administration.
4. CAPACITY ENHANCEMENT FOR INSTITUTION BUILDING: pursues three main objectives: poverty reduc-tion, economic development and institution building. It is implemented through institutional capacity building, including local and interna-tional scholarships.
5. JOINT FINANCING AGREEMENT (JFA): a pooled fund-ing system with various donors to support the Education Development Strategic Plan. Policy dialogue, strategic planning and good financial management are at the centre of the system.
LOCAL GOVERNMENTThe Palestinian Authority is reforming the Local Government system in order to strengthen the administration of the territory and to improve the service delivery and local development. Belgium supports the new Local Government strategic plan by a five-year programme started in 2011, the Local Government Reform and De-velopment Program. This programme supports the decentralisation efforts by strengthening the smaller local government units into more sus-tainable and effective structures. In addition, the programme supports institutional develop-ment and contributes to the financing of a joint donor funded Municipal Development Program. Belgium will also contribute to the economic re-generation of historical centers of local entities.
PARTNERSMinistry of Local Government, Ministry of Plan-ning, Municipal Development and Lending Fund, Local Government Units
Key pointSBTC supports local governments through a pro-gramme with three components.• At the central level, it supports Institutional
Capacity Development of the Ministry of Local Government and its 11 district branches;
• At the local level, it supports four clusters of 21 village councils which are merging together to set up four new municipalities in the districts of Nablus, Ramallah, Bethlehem and Hebron;
• Support for the Municipal Development Program together with other donors.
STRATEGY 2012-2015: 2 priority sectors
PARTNERSMinistry of Education and Higher Education, Min-istry of Planning and Administrative Development, Ministry of Labour, Ministry of Industry, Chamber of Commerce, Training Centres, Universities
KEY POINTS• Since 2000 Belgium has been strengthen-
ing the Palestinian Curriculum Development Center through capacity building, studies and monitoring, schoolbooks printing, distribution and evaluation of the quality.
• While an average classroom size of 33 students may not seem like an alarmingly high number, double shifts, aging infrastructure and long travel distances have justified the continuous involvement of Belgian cooperation in schools building. Since 2000, BTC has supported the construction, rehabilitation and equipment of 22 schools in the West Bank and Gaza strip and provided the Ministry of Education with a new office in Ramallah.
• The new schools integrate natural lighting and ventilation, passive solar gains and cool-ing, besides showing attention to a green and child-friendly environment.
The Belgian governmental cooperation with the Palestinian Authority primarily supports two sectors: education and local government.

small scale development projects introduced by the local community.
A study, expertise and consultancy fund is at the disposal of the Ministry of Planning and Administrative Development and includes a capacity building component.
