It is our pleasure to inform you that MASHAV has decided to launch an innovative Distance Learning program on the subject of INTEGRATED RURAL-URBAN DEVELOPMENT (IRUD).

The program is based on the case study of Israel and its accumulated experience attained over the last five decades in all of the fields related to rural and urban development, particularly in agriculture, education, water management and spatial planning.

The program’s three phases begin with a FACE-TO-FACE WORKSHOP IN ISRAEL, designed to train facilitators in the technological aspects of the program. The second phase will be delivered by DISTANCE LEARNING methods and will employ Internet, video-conferencing, and synchronous and asynchronous methods as the main features of the training program, and thereafter the final phase of IMPLEMENTING WORKSHOPS in each of the participating countries.

The inputs for this program have been compiled and contributed by the MASHAV experts and its professional affiliates –

The Weitz Center for Development Studies,

CINADCO – The Center for International Agricultural Development Cooperation, and

The Peres Center for Peace
