PFESP awarded 23 small grants to local civil institutions within the framework of Peace Steps Projects, which is implemented in cooperation with the Italian Association "Vento Di Terra," and funded by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation AICS. 

The Peace Steps project aims to promote comprehensive and sustainable economic and social growth in Palestinian societies. In particular, the project aims, through its multiple components, to spread and promote economic practices within frameworks of social solidarity and economic integration in order to provide job opportunities and achieve sustainable, inclusive, fair economic development for youth and women, especially in marginalized Bedouin societies in Area C.
