Training course on Early Childhood Development and Parental Involvement, Israel
  Forty years ago, the Golda Meir Mount Carmel International Training Center (MCTC) was founded in Haifa by MASHAV to address the issue of women in development. Since its establishment, it has devoted most of its resources to the training of women from developing countries and transitional societies. All MCTC's training programs work toward gender equality and poverty eradication through socio-economic development. Its courses and workshops, at home and abroad, concentrate on three main fields of expertise: community organization/development of services, organization and management of micro-enterprises and early childhood education. In addition to the year-round courses and workshops, a week long symposium or seminar for women leaders is held biennially on a theme of development of particular concern to women. MCTC's underlying philosophy stresses the importance of "development from ground up" and the recognition of women's contribution to their countries' development.

Since 1961, more than 9,000 professionals from 141 countries have attended programs at MCTC and thousands more have participated in on-the-spot courses in the cooperating countries. Emphasis is placed on building of support networks among participants, and in many cases former MCTC trainees go on to coordinate and co-teach courses and workshops in their home countries. Activities carried out in Israel also include tailor-made Study Tours and Workshops given on request.

MCTC cooperates with a number of governmental and non-governmental organizations, international aid agencies (OAS, IDB, GIFRID, WBI), international women's organizations (Soroptimist International, Women's Mediterranean Forum, International Council of Women) and United Nations specialized agencies such as ILO, UNESCO, UNICEF and UNDP.
