¶C. 05 AMMAN 5832
¶D. 04 AMMAN 1721
¶E. 03 AMMAN 1477
¶1. (U) This message contains a monitoring and evaluation
report on the $90,000 grant PRM awarded to the U.S.
non-profit organization Seeds of Peace (SPRMCO05GR140) to
help it extend its conflict resolution programming to
Palestinian refugee youth residing in the West Bank,
Jerusalem and Gaza during FY06, keyed to questions provided
in ref B. Seeds of Peace (SOP) has implemented three similar
agreements for PRM since 2002.
-------
SOURCES
-------
¶2. (SBU) Amman-based regional refcoord monitored SOP's
implementation of its current PRM grant in December 2005, and
again in May 2006. On December 8, 2005 she reviewed the
recruitment strategy SOP planned to use this year to increase
the number of refugees participating in summer camp sessions
held at SOP's International Camp facility in Maine with Sami
Al Jundi, the supervisor of SOP's "Jerusalem Center for
Co-Existence," who is also the staff member with primary
responsibility for recruiting Arab youth. She met Sami Al
Jundi again on May 18 at SOP's Jerusalem offices, using that
field visit to also evaluate financial controls and personnel
management through interviews with Jerusalem Center
Administrative and Public Relations Manager Reem Mustafa and
Jerusalem Center Coordinator of Media and Governmental
Development Eric Kapenga. As explained in paragraph 13,
refcoord was unable to meet the Director of SOP's Jerusalem
Center, who was responsible for supervising day-to-day
implementation of PRM-funded activities for most of this
grant's implementation period, as he was out of the region
for extended periods between September 2005 and April 2006.
Instead, she conducted remote monitoring by phone on May 23
with Stephen Flanders, SOP's new New York-based Chief
Operating Officer, who has been brought in to carry out a
complete reorganization of SOP starting this summer (see
paragraph 13 for details). As reported ref A, Flanders made
an unexpected request for a no-cost grant extension covering
100% of its current grant during that call, informing
refcoord that SOP had not taken any immediate remedial
actions to met the objectives in its current agreement.
¶3. (U) Refcoord also discussed SOP's efforts to utilize the
United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees
in the Near East (UNRWA) in its refugee recruitment efforts
-- a new condition of its grant -- with UNRWA Education
Department Director Kabir Shaikh May 22.
------------------
OVERALL ASSESSMENT
------------------
¶4. (SBU) As with its previous three PRM grants,
SPRMCO05GR140's core objective is to increase the number of
Palestinian refugee youth attending the summer camp sessions
that Seeds of Peace has organized for youth from the region
since 1993 to teach tolerance and conflict resolution
techniques, through a joint-funding arrangement (currently
$90,000 from PRM and $15,000 from private donors). Unlike
those agreements, this grant calls on SOP to involve UNRWA in
its recruitment efforts, a new objective designed to help SOP
overcome the access problems that prompted staff in 2004-2005
to initiate an unauthorized community service program in two
UNRWA refugee camps to rehabilitate its image as an "American
NGO" (ref C). Also, this agreement no longer supports the
year-round activities which SOP staff in Jerusalem organize
to try to sustain former Israeli and Palestinian campers,
involvement in co-existence activities until they reach age
24, following SOP's acknowledgment that it had failed to find
viable methods to increase refugee participation in these
local programs after three years, and could not apply lessons
learned from those aborted attempts during an anticipated
reorganization of its regional offices (refs C-E).
¶5. (SBU) Three years into its efforts to target refugees, the
number of Palestinian youth from the West Bank and Gaza with
refugee status participating in SOP's "core" summer camp
program has fallen to 2003 levels (10 campers) -- well below
its current grant target of 25. Hamas' victory in the
January Palestinian legislative elections contributed to
SOP's inability to meet the terms of its grant. Under Hamas'
leadership, the PA Education Ministry re-established its
boycott of Seeds of Peace. SOP responded by reaching out to
private schools and individual (Fatah) politicians to
identify potential candidates -- a move that inadvertently
prevented it from recruiting any female youth from Gaza this
year. SOP's recruitment in the West Bank was also affected.
While SOP has not been subject to direct threats, increased
security concerns compelled its Jerusalem staff to restrict
their activities to Fatah strongholds (primarily Ramallah),
reversing inroads SOP had made to UNRWA camps in Jenin in
¶2005. At the same time, SOP has been slow in completing a
planned reorganization of its regional offices (underway
since late 2004), leaving staff in Jerusalem in limbo, with
interim and often absent managers who were unable to maintain
any focus on using PRM funds to develop sustainable targeting
methods. Even with the impetus of external funding and
engagement from PRM, SOP is slowly working to involve
organizations such as UNRWA that have direct and broad access
to refugee youth in its recruitment processes. SOP appears
committed to carrying out a complete reorganization that
should remedy its "management gap," but informed refcoord May
23 that it cannot take remedial actions to raise refugee
participation before September.
--------------------------------------------- --
PERFORMANCE MEASURED AGAINST PLANNED OBJECTIVES
--------------------------------------------- --
¶6. (U) GRANT OBJECTIVE A -- INCREASE REFUGEES ATTENDING SOP'S
MAINE CAMP TO 23-25 PERSONS: SOP requested $90,000 to support
its objective of increasing the number of refugees in its
summer camp program from 15 in 2005 to 23-25 in 2006 (i.e.,
$12,500 in staff support for the recruitment and selection
process, and $72,500 to finance refugees' participation in
pre-departure preparatory classes and their actual travel
expenses). On May 23, SOP's New York-based Chief Operating
Officer informed refcoord that SOP had finished its 2006 camp
selection and had not met the its target. Of the 60
Palestinians SOP recruited to participate in camps this
summer, only nine appear to hold refugee status: six from
Gaza, two from Jericho and one from Ramallah. NOTE: SOP
maintains no database on its campers, making it difficult to
confirm whether it is meeting its recruitment objectives.
However, it is refining its verification methods. In
previous years, SOP used residency in an UNRWA camp as its
working definition of a refugee. This year, SOP started
asking campers for UNRWA registration cards to verify their
refugee status. END NOTE. As of May 30, SOP was unable to
verify whether any of the adult "delegation leaders" it also
recruits to accompany youth to Maine (and who could also be
supported under the terms of its grant) are refugees.
Paragraph 9 describes the selection criteria/process SOP used.
¶7. (SBU) As was the case in 2005, Israeli travel restrictions
could still affect actual camp attendance. Administrative
Manager Reem Mustafa reported May 18 that the GOI had agreed
to facilitate the travel of campers from the West Bank,
including providing authorization to travel to the U.S. via
Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. However, the GOI has refused
to allow campers from Gaza to use Ben Gurion. As was the
case in 2005, SOP plans to send campers from Gaza via Cairo.
¶8. (U) OTHER PERFORMANCE INDICATORS: Apart from raising
numerical refugee recruitment targets, SOP's current grant
measures performance based on SOP's ability to involve UNRWA
in its recruitment, and to ensure refugees participate in
pre-departure orientation seminars and post-camp attitudinal
surveys. Political developments and internal organizational
issues prevented SOP from establishing a working relationship
with UNRWA, and are reported in detail at paragraph 10.
Refcoord verified that SOP is preparing to include refugee
youth in the two-day, pre-camp orientation classes scheduled
to take place one week prior to departure for Maine (i.e.,
June 13-14 and July 13-14) during her May 18 monitoring trip.
Attitudinal surveys are scheduled to take place post-camp,
and cannot currently be measured.
--------------------------------------------- ---------
ACCESS TO TARGET BENEFICIARIES AND COORDINATION ISSUES
--------------------------------------------- ---------
¶9. (SBU) HAMAS VICTORY LIMITS COORDINATION: January's
Palestinian Legislative Council election results limited
SOP's ability to work with partners who have direct access to
refugee youth, particularly in the West Bank. SOP staff
responsible for recruitment rely heavily on regional
governments, limiting their role to screening candidates who
are nominated by the Israeli and PA Education Ministries.
Prior to the Palestinian Legislative elections, SOP intended
to work primarily through the PA Education Ministry, as it
had done in 2005. According to Al Jundi, mid-level
Fatah-affiliated contacts at the PA Education Ministry
informed him in mid-February that the new Hamas-led Education
Ministry had effectively re-established the boycott the PA
placed on SOP at the start of the second Intifada. NOTE: SOP
staff are aware of USG "no contact rules" and would have
avoided working with the PA Education Ministry had its
boycott not been in place. END NOTE. Despite the fact that
the PA's Education Ministry has boycotted SOP programs for
four of the past five years, SOP continues to find it
difficult to develop substitute partners that have comparable
geographic scope.
¶10. (SBU) NO UNRWA ROLE IN RECRUITMENT: In Gaza, SOP reverted
to the network of individual (Fatah-affiliated) politicians
that it used in 2002-2003, asking long-time political
contacts Saeb Erekat and the wife of former Minister Dahlan
to identify potential campers. With that network, SOP made
no effort to include UNRWA in its recruitment in Gaza this
year. In the West Bank, UNRWA's West Bank Field Education
Program Director failed to respond positively to an approach
Al Jundi made in February, inviting him to nominate 23
campers by the end of that month. Jundi reported that UNRWA
informed him that they feared retaliation from Hamas. Asked
about UNRWA's decision not to participate in SOP recruitment,
UNRWA HQ Education Program Director Kabir Shaikh confirmed
that Hamas' victory had played a role in UNRWA's decision,
but stressed that the primary reason UNRWA was unable to
participate was the fact that SOP had given UNRWA less than
three weeks to identify candidates, at a time when it was
focused on emergency contingency planning. Shaikh added that
UNRWA informed SOP that it would be willing to participate in
SOP,s next recruitment cycle.
IMPACT: INROADS TO JENIN CAMPS LOST, NO GIRLS IN GAZA
--------------------------------------------- --------
¶11. (SBU) Without UNRWA support, SOP reverted to inviting
private schools to nominate candidates. Unlike previous
years, however, SOP staff limited their outreach in the West
Bank. SOP did not recruit in Jenin, Hebron and Nablus this
year. Initially, Al Jundi attributed this to the lack of
private schools in those cities, but he later acknowledged
that SOP staff are only working in "areas where Fatah can
offer security and there is an NGO presence." Asked if staff
were reacting to direct threats -- as was the case in 2003
when PFLP supporters actively broke up an SOP workshop in
Ramallah -- Al Jundi said that was not the case; their
measures were pre-emptive. NOTE: Israel's permit system is
not affecting SOP Palestinian staff's travel to the degree it
did in 2005 (ref C). SOP staff attribute the improvement to
SOP's decision to join the State Department's Overseas
Security Advisory Council's new Jerusalem Country Council,
which issues membership cards to this network of American
NGOs and private organizations that they claim help
facilitate their movement through checkpoints. END NOTE. As
a result, SOP was unable to maintain the inroads it made into
Jenin Camp last year. However, its recruitment of three
refugee youth in the West Bank is not a significant drop from
2005 (one person).
¶12. (SBU) Surprisingly, SOP staff maintained some refugee
recruitment in Gaza this year -- a major achievement reached
in the last program cycle. NOTE: In 2001, when PRM first
started funding SOP's refugee recruitment efforts, SOP was
only able to identify and secure travel permits for refugees
who held Jerusalem IDs. SOP slowly expanded its program to
refugees from the West Bank in 2002-2003, but was unable to
recruit refugee in Gaza until 2005, when the PA lifted its
three-year boycott on SOP. END NOTE. However, SOP was
unable -- for the first time in its history -- to recruit any
female Palestinian campers from Gaza, a development Al Jundi
attributed to their contacts inability to resist overwhelming
social pressures. COMMENT: In the past, SOP had done a good
job establishing gender balance in its summer camp caseload;
51 percent of its past summer camp participants were male and
49 percent female in 2005. END COMMENT.)
-------------------------------------------
ADDITIONAL FACTORS AFFECTING IMPLEMENTATION
-------------------------------------------
¶13. (SBU) LACK OF MANAGERIAL OVERSIGHT: While SOP staff in
Jerusalem responsible for implementing PRM-funded activities
are clearly working in a more difficult operating
environment, their inability to meet their recruitment
targets appears to also be due to SOP's inability to move
forward with a planned reorganization of its regional
offices. Tim Wilson, the Director of SOP's International
Camp facility in Maine who was brought in to head Jerusalem
operations on an interim basis in September 2004, remained in
charge of PRM-funded projects until May 2006. However, he
was absent from the field for more than 50% of the time,
leaving comparatively junior staff to respond to
implementation problems. It was clear that Jerusalem staff
were frustrated with lack of engagement of SOP HQ. They
report that SOP HQ made no effort to address the UNRWA
coordination issue when they reported that UNRWA field staff
had resisted their overtures. NOTE: SOP Washington did not
comment on the UNRWA coordination issue in its interim
report. END NOTE. SOP managers have made no effort to engage
officials from UNRWA's HQ nor its West Bank and Gaza Fields.
In addition, SOP staff in Jerusalem did not have coherent
responses when asked during monitoring visits/calls how SOP
planned to meet its refugee recruiting targets, suggesting
that senior management has not made increasing refugee
participation a clear program goal. COMMENT: In refcoord's
view, SOP might have reached its grant target without UNRWA
had it revised its vetting procedures to include questions
designed to identify Palestinian youth with refugee status at
the interview stage. SOP staff in Jerusalem rebut this
argument, saying that adding refugee status as an explicit
selection criteria would have weakened their standards. SOP
continues to use English language skills (measured through
standardized exams), academic excellence, and demonstrated
leadership and social skills as selection criteria for its
summer camp program. END COMMENT.
-------------------------------------------
STAFFING, WORKPLACE CONDITIONS AND CONTROLS
-------------------------------------------
¶14. (SBU) STAFF QUALIFICATIONS: SOP currently employs nine
full-time and 11 part-time staff in the region. Two
full-time staff work on PRM-funded activities on a part-time
basis: Center Supervisor Al Jundi and Administrative and
Public Relations Manager Reem Mustafa. Both are based at
Seeds' Jerusalem Center, and appeared fully and gainfully
employed during refcoord's May 18 monitoring visit. Al Jundi
has been with SOP longer than any other Jerusalem Center
staffer. He has recruited Arab youth for SOP for six years,
but appears to have lost his authority to initiate new
recruiting methods since SOP fired former Center Director Jen
Marlowe (ref C) in 2004. He presents SOP's mission well,
thinks critically about appropriate use of funds and is
responsive to refcoord queries, but is concerned that SOP
senior managers are replacing "co-existence" activities with
"uni-national" programming. Mustafa is responsible for
making travel arrangements for SOP campers. Also a long-time
SOP employee, she has demonstrated her ability to carry out
the extensive coordination with Israeli military authorities
required to ensure Palestinian campers can travel to Maine.
Their direct supervisor (and the senior SOP manager
responsible for PRM grant implementation), Jerusalem Center
Director Tim Wilson, was not present during refcoord
monitoring. Wilson will not return to the region as his
position has recently phased out as part of a major internal
re-organization that will reportedly involve shutting SOP's
Jerusalem Center and replacing it with two offices in Tel
Aviv and Ramallah. SOP's new Chief Operations Officer took
over management of Jerusalem Center on an interim basis in
May.
¶15. (U) OFFICES AND EQUIPMENT: Refugee camp recruitment is
run out of the Jerusalem Center for Co-Existence that SOP
established in 1999 to provide office space and a meeting
site for the follow-up activities it organizes for
Palestinian-Israeli camp graduates. The Center is located in
the French Hill area of East Jerusalem in a clean and
spacious private four-floor house that was being used both as
office space and a workshop/seminar site for former campers
resident in Jerusalem during refcoord's monitoring visit.
Office equipment appeared in good working condition, but was
not purchased with PRM funding. As noted above, Chief
Operating Officer Flanders informed refcoord May 23 that SOP
intends to close its Jerusalem Center this summer.
¶16. (SBU) FINANCIAL AND INVENTORY CONTROLS: SOP's office in
Maine handles SOP's finances, but SOP's Jerusalem Center
employs a part-time accountant as well as an external Israeli
accountant who provides periodic audits. SOP appears to have
appropriate inventory controls.
-------------------------------------
SPHERE STANDARDS AND CODES OF CONDUCT
-------------------------------------
¶17. (U) SOP does not implement "assistance" programs, and
does not use SPHERE standards to design its programming. It
is willing to try to do so if requested. SOP has a code of
conduct in its staff handbook that advises them of their
obligations to report any suspected sexual exploitation and
abuse of beneficiaries. No such cases were reported as of
May 30.
------------------------------------
ASSESSMENT OF PROJECT SUSTAINABILITY
------------------------------------
¶18. (SBU) After three years of funding, SOP's refugee
recruitment strategies are still in a "development" phase.
SOP could "mainstream" refugee recruitment without the
impetus of external funding if it made refugee status a clear
selection criteria and developed additional partners,
particularly with organizations like UNRWA that have a broad
mandate to education refugee youth in Gaza and the West Bank.
----------------------------
RECOMMENDATIONS/OBSERVATIONS
----------------------------
¶19. (SBU) SOP's programs work directly to advance an
important USG goal of combating extremism. To date, there is
no duplication with PRM-funded tolerance projects being
implemented by UNRWA. However, available NGO funding is
limited and humanitarian conditions in the region are
deteriorating, and it is crucial that SOP start to view PRM
support as a platform to "mainstream" refugee recruitment
into its regular recruitment practices given that the 75-80%
Palestinian youth in Gaza and 30% in the West Bank have
refugee status. Without senior program managers on the
ground, there has been a breakdown in efforts to develop a
sustainable refugee targeting approach. SOP's new Chief
Operating Officer informally approached refcoord on May 23
for a 6-9 month no-cost grant extension to try to reach its
the refugee recruitment targets in its current grant in 2007.
Refcoord believes that Flanders is committed to bridging the
management gap that has existed in Jerusalem for over a year.
However, he is planning to close SOP's Jerusalem
Co-Existence Center and open two new "uni-national" offices
in Tel Aviv and Ramallah this summer, the largest
reorganization SOP has undergone in its history and one which
is likely to affect SOP's implementation capacity. If this
grant extension is formally submitted, PRM will need to work
with SOP and appropriate UNRWA officials to develop
sustainable access to candidates. Refcoord also recommends
that PRM encourage SOP to develop a database that will help
it track refugee participation in its programs and/or revise
selection criteria used in its interview process to include
refugee status.
