"Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment,
to just and favorable conditions of work and to protection against
unemployment {…}."Everyone has the right to form and to join
trade unions for the protection of his interests" [Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, 1948].
A growing number of small enterprises and businesses in the Arab
community close down each year because they are no longer competitive.
The sector lacks any basic support from the government. For example,
although recently it constructed industrial parks throughout the
country, the government has ignored the needs of Arab localities. This
sector also lacks internal organization and representatation.
The Project
The proposed program is designed to respond to small enterprise needs by
organizing them and training them to compete in alternative markets. It also
will establish innovative projects, including economic incubators and special
action plans, introducing high-tech initiatives that the Arab sector presently
lacks and that can benefit the community in many ways.
