Evidence snapshot for Palestine, State of
The evidence shows that Palestine has developed multiple technology and employment interventions to address youth joblessness and skills gaps. Souktel JobMatch reduced college graduates' job searches from about 12 weeks to 1 week or less and raised starting wages by up to 50%, while Gaza Sky Geeks trained over 60,000 Palestinian youth with approximately 85% reaching paid employment or self-employment at an average salary of about $700 monthly. UNESCO's Girls in Tech initiative delivered robotics and AI training to 120 West Bank students (92% girls), producing three national training manuals, though the evidence on employment outcomes for this programme is limited to trainer-reported observations on problem-solving and confidence gains. These practices address persistent Palestinian unemployment (exceeding 30% for youth) and connectivity barriers, particularly for those outside major cities and refugee camps.
