The Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, in accordance with the mandate given to it by the General Assembly (75/20 of 8 December 2020), organized a two-day Communication Strategy Workshop for officials of the Government of the State of Palestine. The Workshop took place on 25-26 July 2022 in Amman, Jordan in cooperation with the Prime Minister¡¯s Office of the State of Palestine. The Chair of the Committee, Ambassador Cheikh Niang attended the opening ceremony of the workshop, which was attended by 21 high-ranking representatives from the 20 Palestinian Government agencies. The workshop curriculum comprised 4 main topics: strategic thinking, understanding the audience, developing key messages, and delivering meaningful communications.
The capacity-building and training programme for civil servants of the State of Palestine is an essential component of the Committee’s mandate implemented by the Division for Palestinian Rights. The Committee works to prepare the Palestinian Authority and its officials to carry out their work more effectively, and in preparation for full independence. In doing so, the Committee tries to maintain gender balance and women¡¯s empowerment, in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. To date, over 200 Palestinian cadres have benefitted from this capacity-building programme in areas as diverse as international diplomacy, climate change, water resources, and communications.
