Back Grants and Compliance Manager

Backgound

In 2009, International Medical Corps (IMC) established Health and MHPSS programs for vulnerable Palestinians-including capacity building for service providers and integrating mental health into primary health care services. IMC worked directly with the primary health care system to improve mental health service as well as sensitize the community while improving existing support networks for vulnerable groups. In the aftermath of the 2014 war, IMC implemented emergency response activities in 26 access-restricted areas. Activities included structured PSS activities for children; and capacity-building of community-based organization (CBO) staff on delivering Psychological First Aid (PFA), PSS services, and child protection. Building on previous experience, IMC currently implements a Health intervention in Gaza to help fill some of the existing gaps.
