Background Information

The Organization

Ta-awon for Conflict Resolution is a Palestinian independent, national, non-profit

organization, established in 2002. Ta-awon aims to raise awareness and lead

interventions in democracy, good governance, and peaceful methods of Conflict

Resolution.

Since its establishment, Ta-awon has been working on promoting understanding and

peace through the integration of concepts of mediation, negotiation, communication and

civic peace education with civil society, educational institutions, and the community.

Ta-awon works through a number of interventions in the field to meet its objectives

relying on two approaches. The first is alternative conflict resolution methodologies,

while the second is community and organizational development in the fields of

democracy, good governance, accountability, and civic engagement.

Ta-awon is implementing a project titled “Developing Civil Police Model in the West

Bank” funded by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) as part

of its “Strengthening of Police Structures” Program. The project promotes the role of

youth in civic peace as collaborative political and peacebuilding actors.

Covid-19 Pandemic and Youth

COVID-19 pandemic is a defining cultural and political moment for today-s generation.

This global health emergency and its economic, social, and political impacts have

disrupted nearly all aspects of life for all groups in society.

For young people, and especially vulnerable youth, COVID-19 crisis poses considerable

risks in the fields of education, employment, and mental health. The outbreak and the

lockdown measures have taken youth by storm and disrupted their lives. Since schools,

businesses, and recreational facilities were locked down, young people found

themselves confined to their homes, committing to distant education, with no actual

open space for them to become actively involved in the crisis management except

through social media platforms. While these platforms are important for creating social

contact and accessing important services, such as distant education and information-

RFQ No. Taawon-GIZ-02/08-20 6

sharing, these platforms can also create risks for young people that cannot be

overlooked, including false information, cyber disputes, and cyber bullying --which can

be even more severe than traditional bullying. As a matter of, the health, economic, and

social impact of the pandemic has caused a significant escalation of conflicts within

countries, particularly in conflict-affected societies, including Palestine.

While youth and future generations will shoulder much of the long-term economic and

social consequences of the crisis, their well-being may be superseded by short-term

economic and social considerations in order to promote a more active role of youth in

civic peace as collaborative political and peacebuilding actors.

As a matter of fact, to avoid exacerbating intergenerational inequalities and to involve

young people in building societal resilience, governments need to anticipate the impact

of mitigation and recovery measures among young people, by applying effective

governance mechanisms and policy reform that strengthen youth participation in peace

and decision making.

Objectives

The aim of this ToR is to receive proposals from qualified research firms to conduct a

statistical study to aid the development of national indicators regarding the impact of

Covid-19 crisis on the escalation of conflicts and how it affects youth in the Palestinian

territories, including the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem. The study is to

be implemented during the month of September 2020.

Scope of Work

The research firm shall conduct a statistical survey to assess the impact of the pandemic

crisis on Palestinian youth specifically regarding three main aspects: social, economic,

and political.

Based on the statistical survey results, a set of indicators shall be developed to examine

the types of conflicts that vulnerable groups, particularly youth, are affected by, and

assess
