الملخص الإنجليزي

Palestinian communities pass crucial conditions which increase the needs of organizing the efforts of the different stakeholders influencing the local economic development process, mainly proper projects prioritization to reduce the poverty.

Local economic development (LED) offers local and national governments, the private sector, the not-for-profit sectors and the local community the opportunity to work together to improve their economy.

It focuses on both enhancing competitiveness, and increasing growth mainly through job creation. The idea of this thesis was evolved from the experience of the researcher in the trials of supporting the local economy in Rafah and Khan Younis through implementing local community-based projects, where long occupation and lack of resources make it vital.

This research assesses the current local economy development process in local communities in Gaza Strip focusing on Rafah region.

It involves the local community groups in the process and evaluates the level of their influence.

The researcher collected the data to analyze the local economy strengths and weaknesses and explored the high support of the stakeholders of establishing a coordination unit to facilitate the process under the leadership of local authority and using a computerized model in initiatives prioritization.

The unit will organize the efforts and facilitate agreement on the basis of the selection criteria to ensure an open process and fair projects distribution to meet the region needs. Based on studying the currently ongoing donation programs in Gaza Strip, field survey and international similar experience, the researcher suggested a local initiatives prioritization system (LIPS).

It assures the involvement of stakeholders, better benefitting from projects ideas (initiatives) presented by locals, and optimizing the use of limited resources by selecting the most promising projects. To assist the partners, a computer model was developed to let members of coordination unit feed their individual perspectives of projects compatibility with the selection criteria. Members will feed the model independently and participate in a collective computerized decision making process taking into consideration the uncertainties level reflecting the prevailing situation.
