The Institut Convergences Migrations in cooperation with An-Najah National University (Naplus, Palestine) seeks to support the development of collaborative action-research projects on migration in the Palestinian context.

This Palestine call for projects (find an entire version in french, english and arabic below) is designed to address the dire circumstances in Gaza and the West Bank, particularly in terms of access to education and healthcare. These two major issues have reached unprecedented levels due to the nearly total destruction of infrastructure on one hand , and the new massive dynamics of forced or obstructed mobility in Gaza and the West Bank on the other. The IC Migrations call for projects aims to facilitate the swift and effective realization of research initiatives that can support these urgent needs, in close collaboration with local actors and research teams.

Non-exhaustive issues identified for the Call for Projects :

• Education
• Reception
• Health and mental health
• Mobility and forced or prevented displacement

The IC Migrations-Palestine initiative prioritizes a collaborative approach by engaging directly with local research teams and institutions.

Budget :
