Feasibility Study and Project Management Consultancy for the Construction of the Ibn Sina College of Nurses ( 2020 - 2021 )
AFD was approached by the Palestinian Ministry of Health (MoH) to finance the relocation and expansion of Ibn Sina College for Health Science (ISC), specialised in nursing and midwifery education. AFD considered new funding to ISC to be granted in 2020, where it could finance the construction and equipment of the new building, technical assistance to develop new curricula, an e-learning programme for ISC’s students and other students or allied health personal working in the Gaza Strip, and the establishment of partnerships with other nursing schools in the region or elsewhere.
A series of studies (fixed phase) was carried out to gain the AFD’s technical and financial approval of the planned project (optional tranche) before presenting the project to its board for a loan grant. Conseil Santé, SOFRECO and their Palestinian partners (UG and JUZOOR) were in charge of the feasibility study of this project in view of the validation of the financing by the AFD board of directors.
