What Juzoor For Health & Social Development does

Juzoor For Health & Social Development is a Palestinian non-governmental organization founded in 1996, headquartered in Ramallah/Al-Bireh with offices in Gaza and Jerusalem. The organization delivers health, social development, and humanitarian services across Palestinian territories through three core program pillars: Community Development (youth and women empowerment, gender-based violence prevention, sexual and reproductive health rights, and emergency response), Continuous Professional Development (CPD) (internationally accredited medical training including American Heart Association courses), and Policy Dialogue & Advocacy (national coordinating body for adolescent health). Juzoor holds the first and only American Heart Association International Training Center (ITC) license in Palestine, granted in April 2012.

The organization's technology infrastructure comprises a cloud-based beneficiary data management application for eligibility determination and service tracking, plus a child/youth-friendly mobile application (Alem Tislem) and digital platforms including a dedicated training/courses website. Its business model is grant-funded: Juzoor operates as a non-profit humanitarian organization providing services free of charge to beneficiaries, with revenue derived from international donors, UN agencies, and bilateral government grants. The organization maintains a network of 50+ partners including UNFPA, UNICEF, WHO, the World Bank, and government donors from Germany, Austria, Norway, Australia, Belgium, and Canada.

Juzoor has reached over 600,000 cumulative beneficiaries across its programs and currently maintains active emergency humanitarian operations in Gaza alongside community development and professional training programs throughout the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza. The organization is led by Executive Director Dr. Umaiyeh Khammash and Board Chairperson Dr. Salwa Najjab, with a senior management team of approximately 16 members.

Broad incumbents

• Save the Children: Global child-rights NGO with active Palestine programming covering child protection, health, and education. Listed as a Juzoor partnership and operates in overlapping areas (adolescent health, emergency response in Gaza, GBV prevention), competing for similar donor funding from European and UN sources.
• CARE International: Major international humanitarian organization with extensive Palestine programming. CARE Palestine is an explicit Juzoor implementing partner (SEHATI project co-funded by Austrian Development Agency) and shares donor pools (Austrian Development Agency, European governments) for COVID-19 response, GBV, and community resilience work in West Bank and Gaza.
• International Medical Corps (IMC): Global health-focused humanitarian organization providing emergency relief and training in conflict-affected areas including Gaza. IMC directly competes with Juzoor for emergency response funding and partnership roles with international donors in the Palestinian health sector.
• Catholic Relief Services (CRS): US-based international humanitarian agency with extensive Palestine programming in health, emergency response, and GBV prevention. CRS is an explicit Juzoor partner for COVID-19 emergency response and competes for the same institutional donor pools in Palestinian health and humanitarian work.
• UNRWA (UN Relief and Works Agency): UN agency providing health, education, and relief services to Palestinian refugees across West Bank, Gaza, East Jerusalem, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. As a large institutional actor with Palestinian health programming, UNRWA is both a peer (overlapping health services) and a Juzoor board stakeholder (former UNRWA Health Educational Supervisor serves on Juzoor's board).

Direct peers

• American Near East Refugee Aid (ANERA): US-based NGO operating health, education, and community development programs in West Bank, Gaza, and Lebanon. ANERA's focus on Palestinian health system support, medical supplies distribution, and community development overlaps directly with Juzoor's portfolio and shares the same Palestinian geographic mandate.
• Medical Aid for Palestine (MAP): UK-headquartered health-focused charity delivering medical services and capacity building in West Bank and Gaza. MAP is an explicit Juzoor partner (family health training in Primary Care Centers with Italian Agency for Development Cooperation funding) and operates with a directly comparable health-systems-strengthening mandate in the same geography.
• Palestinian Medical Relief Society (PMRS): Palestinian grassroots health and community development NGO operating across West Bank and Gaza since 1979. Provides primary care, community health, and emergency response — directly overlapping Juzoor's community health and emergency response program areas in the same Palestinian geography.

Emerging players

• Health Care Without Harm: Global nonprofit working to make healthcare environmentally sustainable and safer, with programs in Middle East. Partial overlap with Juzoor's patient safety, infection prevention, and WASH4Health work targeting healthcare facilities in Jenin and Tulkarm.

Regional players

• Médicins du Monde (Doctors of the World): International medical humanitarian organization operating in Middle East including Palestinian territories. Delivers healthcare services, capacity building, and advocacy similar to Juzoor's CPD program and emergency response work, though from a European headquarter perspective with global reach.
