The Community Leadership Empowerment Program, supported by the U.S. State Department's Middle East Partnership Initiative, tangibly strengthens women's groups, youth clubs and municipal governments in the West Bank. Over 140 organizations across the West Bank have created a public arena where people can make their voices heard. CLEP has engendered trust and confidence in local leaders, and increased the number of women and youth who participate and play leading roles within their communities. This website tells their story.
