Evaluering
Jerusalem Link: Bat Shalom and Jerusalem Center for Women
In 1989, a meeting was convened in Brussels between prominent Israeli and Palestinian women human rights and peace activists. The meeting initiated an on-going dialogue that in 1994 resulted in the establishment of the Jerusalem Link. The Jerusalem Link is comprised of to women's organizations: Bat Shalom on the Israeli side in West Jerusalem, and the Jerusalem Center for Women on the Palestinian side in East Jerusalem. Each organization was created as autonomous centers, running under the Jerusalem Link umbrella, conducting own and joint projects. Since Jerusalem Link has not been evaluated before, and considering Norwegian Church Aids support to the two organisations, an evaluation was planned in dialogue with the organisations in order to asses impact and subsequently give input for future planning of cooperation. The aim of the evaluation is to assess the work and impact of Jerusalem Link and provide Norwegian Church Aid with a profound understanding of the joint work of Bat Shalom and Jerusalem Center for Women.
