MASHAV is proud of its extensive training program. MASHAV training
has a uniquely wide range of both subjects and language of
instruction. In 2000, a total of 4,252 participants attended 158
training courses in Israel or participated in individual study tours
and various graduate and post-graduate programs. Of these courses, 55
were single-country programs tailor-made for specific countries. In
addition, 139 on-the-spot courses were held in 52 countries.
MASHAV's training program extends throughout the developing world,
encompassing over 130 partner countries and the Palestinian
Authority. Particular emphasis has been given to training of
participants from the Middle East and North Africa. In the year 2000,
1,128 trainees from this region participated in MASHAV courses, most
of which were taught in Arabic.
MASHAV's training program benefits from the following advantages:
a network of a dozen MASHAV-affiliated study centers and academic
and professional institutions, providing high-level facilities and
expert instruction for courses both in Israel and abroad.
access to Israeli policy-makers, academics and professionals, with
experience in many fields of particular importance to the developing
world, ranging from combat of desertification to disaster
management.
use of the Israeli experience of development over its 50 years of
existence as a model of instruction.
a highly polyglot population providing expert instruction in
participants' own languages.
Numerous international organizations, NGOs and donor countries have
taken advantage of MASHAV's unique training program, sponsoring or
co-funding with MASHAV trainees from their partner countries. These
organizations included in 2000: ILO, FAO, UNIDO, UNESCO, UNDP, WMO,
WINROCK, IPALAC, the Chilean Ministry of Education, CAIPE (China) and
others.

Shalom Clubs
MASHAV maintains contact with former course participants through its
network of Shalom Clubs. These clubs serve as a forum for MASHAV
alumni to participate in professional and social activities relating
to their field of specialization. Members are invited to attend local
lectures by skilled experts, to exchange ideas on and to organize
technical cooperation and humanitarian assistance as well as holding
cultural functions. Members of the Shalom Clubs play an integral role
in determining the focus and scope of programming.
Today, there are over 70 Shalom Clubs in partner countries' capital
cities and many more in other locales.
MASHAV publishes Shalom Magazine for Alumni of Israel Training
Courses. The magazine is published 3 times a year in English,
Spanish, French, Arabic and Russian. It is sent directly to all
former MASHAV course participants. Shalom Magazine also appears in an
Internet edition on the Israeli Foreign Ministry website.
Among the highlights of this year's activities:
Shalom Clubs were inaugurated in Mali, Moldova and Shanghai,
China.
The Senegal Shalom Club, together with Israeli Embassy staff,
organized activities to reconstruct four schools in the Dakar area
damaged by exceptionally heavy rains.
The Nepal Shalom Club established a Garden of Peace, in cooperation
with the City of Metropolitan Kathmandu.
The second meeting of the Latin American Shalom Club Presidents took
place in Quito, Ecuador. Over 40 representatives from 17 Latin
American countries participated.
