Human capacity building remains the main priority of MASHAV. We are proud of our highly extensive training program, which includes a uniquely wide range of subjects and languages. Almost 300 international and single-country courses annually are offered in Israel and abroad for thousands of participants, in subjects including agriculture, medicine and public health, science and technology, management and entrepreneurship, education and economic, social, community and rural development. Over the years, almost 200,000 professionals have participated in MASHAV courses. Many have later gone on to serve in key positions, enabling them to further disseminate the skills and knowledge gained in MASHAV courses.
MASHAV’s training program benefits from the following advantages:
* A network of MASHAV-affiliated study centers and academic and professional institutions, providing high-level facilities and expert instruction for courses both in Israel and abroad.
* Access to a wide range of Israeli policy-makers, academics and professionals, with experience in fields of particular importance to the developing world.
* Use of the Israeli experience of development over its 50 years of existence as a model of instruction.
* A multilingual population, providing expert instruction in English, Russian, French, Spanish and Arabic and other languages.
Numerous international organizations, NGOs, and donor countries have taken advantage of MASHAV’s unique training program, sponsoring or co-funding, with MASHAV, trainees from their partner countries and programs. These organizations include UN agencies, other international organizations and national development cooperation agencies and NGOs.
Among the list of our co-sponsors are: USAID, CIDA, FAO, UNDP, ILO, OAS, WHO, UNESCO, the Soros Foundation, UNICEF, Corunum - John Paul II Foundation and the World Bank.
Training Activities
Israel’s cooperation with developing countries involves activities throughout the world in three different ways:
Courses in Israel
Based on work plans and relevant topics, MASHAV, in conjunction with professional and academic institutes, holds advanced training courses in Israel, in five languages: English, French, Arabic, Spanish and Russian. The courses are offered in agriculture, health issues, community development, education, cooperation and other subjects. Course participants spend between three weeks and five months in Israel.
Short-term on-the-spot courses
Experts travel to the country in question, as a result of an official request channeled through Israel’s representations. Over a two to four week period, courses are held on a range of subjects: agriculture, medicine, organizing cooperatives, business entrepreneurship, to name just a few. In 2003, some 132 such courses were held throughout the world.
Short and long-term experts
In response to an official request by a country requiring assistance, an Israeli expert comes to carry out a project involving both training activities and practical demonstrations. The expert resides in the country to which s/he has been assigned, on a day-to-day basis handling a specific topic which has been selected by the local bodies and agents. In 2003, over 153 short term consultancies and some 14 long-term consultancies were held by MASHAV experts worldwide involving a wide range of subjects.
