Country Specific Recommendations (Palestine - Gaza Strip)
The government of Palestine should come forward with positive attitude towards
building a strong relationship with neighbouring countries and other international
bodies (countries) to solve ongoing problem (War and Siege).
OIC and other international bodies may sit together aiming to bring peace in Palestine
and among other neighbouring countries. Stopping wars and withdrawing siege are the
key issues for improving the overall contexts (scenario) of Gaza Strip.
10/5/201838
ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY (IUT)A subsidiary organ of Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC)
Cont..
Gaza Strip needs experts from developed countries.
The intensity of assistance, support, donations, and aids are not adequate for
Gaza Strip to eradicate poverty. The donor agencies and NGOs, therefore, should
increase their continual effort in aspects of funds and other initiatives towards
developing TVET for eradicating poverty.
Extra attention and efforts should be put on creating job opportunities in order
to reduce unemployment rates.
Small funds should be allocated for the TVET graduates to start-up their own
business.
