The Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching of An-Najah University has recently been part of the "She Succeeds" Project, a project funded by the government of Canada, and implemented by Save the Children in partnership with MA'AN Development Center and the Palestinian Agriculture Relief Committee.


The Center for Excellence was interested in the project as it has a particular focus on targeted value chains and new green innovations and technologies for water and waste management, food processing, packaging and marketing.

The Center for Excellence in cooperation with the project's partners organized a number of practical training workshops that assists female university students of agriculture, engineering and IT. The workshops focused on topics like garden design utilizing programs such as 3ds Max, floral design, cheese making and dairy industry and agriculture based on modern irrigation technologies.

The workshops were given by specialized trainers from An-Najah University who offered a feasibility study to fund the suggested project ideas.

The project is supervised by Mr. Ghassan Al-Jamal and MA'An Center as well as Professors Abdel Karim Daraghmeh and Abdel Razzak Natsheh from the Center for Excellence.

She Succeeds is a four-year project to economically empower marginalized and vulnerable young Palestinian women, ages 15-29. Despite having achieved parity with men in education, the participation rate of women in the formal labor force is just 19 percent, four-times lower than the male participation rate. Young women face gender-based economic and social barriers which hinder their agency and business development opportunities in the agriculture sector. The project will offer more than 400 academic and professional scholarships for young entrepreneur women in partnership with 10 Palestinian universities including An-Najah University, in addition to training more than 1500 young females selecting of which 110 entrepreneurial ideas for support.
