Table of Contents

IntroductionThe Strategic Development for Al-Thahrieh was produced through the support from the Local Democratic Reform Program – Tawasol - funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), implemented by CHF International in consultation and coordination with the Ministry of Local Government.

At the very core of the strategic development planning is the principle of active community participation upon which the SDF was devised in close consultation with the municipality, citizens, institutions, and civil society organizations in the town. The plan was developed in pursuance of the relevant policies of the Ministry of Local Government within the framework of strategic development planning project.

This document provides the strategic development framework for Al-Thahrieh for the following sixteen years. It presents a summary of the situational analysis of the town along with the common development vision agreed-upon by the stakeholders participating in this endeavor. After the needs assessment phase, working committees collaborated to identify and analyze key development issues, as well as determining the general strategic objectives capable of realizing the development vision and the key strategic objectives derived from the analysis in accordance with the priority setting and determination methodology.

Statement of Al-Thahrieh MunicipalityThis documents draws the developmental framework for Al-Thahrieh for the next (16) years. This SDF comes as the results of collective and persistent efforts by the Municipality of Al-Thahrieh and the key Stakeholders’ Group Committee and community-wide Contribution. Citizens participated in analyzing the situation of their community from different aspects, as well as determining their problems and developmental needs and vision they aspire to see in the future.

Prior to the SDF, we used to prepare our strategic plans in a centralized fashion, but they turned out falling short of highlighting our needs directly. Therefore, and to overcome this shortcoming, we have followed a participatory methodology in the preparation of this SDF. Our methodology this time is based on the participation of Al-Thahrieh citizens who are more capable of defining their own needs, priorities, and aspirations for their town. They also defined the constraints and available resources for addressing their problems and realizing their visions and objectives.

During the SDF process, CHF, through the USAID funded program - LDR, has provided us an important opportunity for advancing the development of Al-Thahrieh through laying the foundation for the strategic planning of the town and its institutions. CHF offered an opportunity to set our development policy during the next (16) years, particularly when the town’s various sectors have a multitude of needs to fulfill and goals to achieve.

The aim of the Strategic Development FrameworkThis document aims at presenting the Strategic Development Framework that outlines the future development interventions needed to bring Al-Thahrieh from its current status and closer to the community-wide shared vision during the 16 years to come. The Strategic Development Framework lays the foundations of joint action and to achieving the top-priority strategic objectives set forth in the successive development plans of four years. If achieved – the plan would be instrumental in closing the existing gap and would contribute greatly to the town’s success and potentials to achieve its future vision.

MethodologyDuring the preparation of the Strategic Development Framework, local councils, participating committees and citizens of Al-Thahrieh followed the phases, tools and mechanisms recommended by the Local Councils Guide to Strategic Development Planning, which the Ministry of Local Government, has approved and adopted.

In the beginning, the necessary technical support was provided by a local consulting firm. To jump start the project, a community meeting was held for the town’s residents and institutions in order to introduce the strategic planning project, its desired objectives and expected outcomes. As a result of this meeting, two committees were formed; the Stakeholders Committee and the Strategic Development Framework Committee. The next step involved a community mapping or survey, prepared by a team of researchers, with the purpose of collecting information and data on all aspects of development in Al-Thahrieh. The survey reflected the current status of the town, its available resources and potential capacities. In parallel, a number of training workshops were held to introduce members and coordinators of committees to the SDF planning methodology and tools, and to define and clarify various roles and responsibilities.

In Al-Thahrieh, a number of development thematic areas were defined; namely: 1) Trade, Tourism and Antiquities, 2) Agriculture, 3) Industry, 4) Youth and Sports, 5) Women and Children, 6) Education,

7) Health and Environment, 8) Physical Planning and Sanitation, 9) Public Services (electricity and water) and 10) Security. Moreover, a number of specialized committees were created, one for each of the specified development sectors. The committees conducted a SWOT and strategic analysis of the current situation so as to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of each field. In addition, stakeholder identification analysis was conducted in order to determine their potential impact and possible ways for their involvement in the development process. Accordingly, a detailed diagnostic study of all development sectors was prepared, taken into account the outputs of strategic analysis and documentation process, undertaken by the technical and special committees, in addition to official reports and statistical data.

The next phase aimed at the formulation of a shared development vision for the town that was conducted through a joint workshop for the Stakeholders’ Committee and the Strategic Development Framework Committee. The shared vision has been based on the local needs, potentials and capacities taking into consideration the regional and national contexts, and the community’s aspirations for a better future for Al-Thahrieh.

Following the formulation of the development vision, the Strategic Development Framework and the Technical Committees held several discussion workshops and brainstorming sessions to identify and analyze the development issues within every development sector, and their root causes and impact. Based on that, the overall strategic objectives were set forth to lay the foundation for the pursuance of the town’s development vision for the next (16) years, followed by the selection of development areas to address the main outcomes during the timeframe covered by the Strategic Development Framework.

Given the scarcity of the town’s resources compared to current and future needs, the development priorities and key strategic objectives (strategic thrusts) were selected in accordance to a certain evaluation or assessment mechanism, which comprised a number of vital criteria that will prioritize the areas of intervention for the next four years. The most important criteria in the assessment tool included, among others, the following: the extent in which the strategic objective overlaps with more than one development thematic area; the degree of consistency between this objective and the shared development vision; and the degree of partnership among the various sectors (i.e. the public, private and civil society sectors).

trategic Development Frameworks Process

Steps 1-6 Depict the Stages of Developing the Strategic Development Framework

As mentioned earlier, the implementation of the Community Integrated Development Plan requires the translation of the development initiatives within the plan into specific projects to be adopted by the local institutions in all sectors. Institutions should incorporate these projects into their short-term (i.e. 1 - 2 years) investment plans, that should be carried out within a clear partnership framework delineating the responsibilities and roles of each partner as well as the adopted mechanisms for monitoring and evaluation.

Al-Thahrieh development vision draws a picture of the town and the aspirations of its inhabitants but it also take into account its current capacities and future potentials for the 16 years to come. The community expressed their shared vision as they imagine their city with a thriving economy based on the efficient use of human and natural resources, especially the labor force of 69% of the population and the sizable area of arable land, of which 50% is presently exploited. Moreover, the town is blessed with archeological sites and old building and semi-desert climate both of which can be invested in to create a substantial recreational and medical tourism. This is also in line with our vision of a healthy and safe environment offering comfort and safety for its visitors and citizens.

The community also strives to turn our town into a model of social, cultural and athletic development achieved through keeping up with the advances in science, culture and other fields. There is so much potential to achieve this, thanks in part to the multitude of active organizations and institutions that focus on the development of women and youth who are well known for their passion for sports; a matter that explain the constant interest in upgrading and expanding various sports facilities in the city.

Despite the many obstacles facing the tourism sector, the SFD paid special attention to this sector through the promotion of culture heritage to the world and the younger generation. However, the fact remains that they are insurmountable obstacles to development in general and tourism promotion in particular, such as the impact of Israeli policies of destruction of archeological sites and the erection of their settlements and military camps and the roads serving. These policies are aggressively adopted without any regard to their historical value or the potential damaging impact on the environment. In addition, the Israeli authorities persistently prevent the experts and archeologists from accessing these sites or attempt their restoration.

Overview of Al-ThahriehAl-Thahrieh is located in Hebron district, about 22 kilometers South of the city of Hebron. In its remote location, it is considered as the southern gateway of the West Bank. The city is rebuilt on the Canaanite city of “Joushen”, and was fortified by Al-Thaher Baybars, due to its strategic location, after which the town was renamed until today. The town is bordered by Al- Samu and Beersheba. It is believed to have had an estimated population of (1265) in 1922; and (2190) in 1945. In 1961, the number of residents doubled to (4199) and reached a total of (11 500) by the year 1987. According to the population census of 2007, the town had 28,776, residents while today the population is estimated to have risen to about 31,700.

The Israeli occupation confiscated a large portion of its land in 1948 and 1967 in order to construct three settlements (namely Zohar, Ashkelon and Tina). The city is surrounded by a large number of ruins (or Khirab) that contain archaeological sites such as: Kafr El-Jul, Al-ras, Dir El-louz, Om Sir, Tatrit, Al-Rahwa, Al-Ja’bari, Ossaila, Badghoush, Jawa, Dir El-Hou, Attir, Om Ed-dinma, Tal, Tel Awwad , Rjum Bir El-Qasser, Amenkhala, Om Al-Amad, and Al-Rabyeh.

Al-Thahrieh constitutes the third largest population center in Hebron District, the last inhabited area in the way towards the Negev Desert. Following the peace agreement between the Palestinian Authority and Israel, the city has been classified as area (A), and therefore falls entirely under Palestinian administration and control. The city is run by a municipality and a local council of 13 members.

.

Al-Thahrieh Development VisionThe collective vision for Al-Thahrieh was based on the situational analysis of Al-Thahrieh and the diagnosis of its local resources and parameters. The process has taken into account the regional and national contexts as well as the future aspirations of its residents through a broad participation of representatives of its institutions, organizations and various committees in the planning process which included a large number of consultative sessions and workshops.

The following is the collective vision for Al-Thahrieh: Al-Thahrieh is an economically prosperous city, healthy and environmentally safe; enjoys modern infrastructure, and provides a role model of social, sports and cultural development. Al-Thahrieh keeps pace with urban and development planning while preserving its cultural heritage

Development AnalysisAt the early stages of the SDF process, a survey was conducted with the local community in order to collect information and data on all of the key areas of development in Al-Thahrieh. This survey mapped out the town’s resources and capabilities as well as its services and institutions. A wide a range of development themes and key areas was defined through the analysis of the current situation and the strategic analysis of each key area in order to define its strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats. Consequently, a detailed diagnostic study was prepared on all key development areas, based on the results of the SMART analysis and the strategic analysis conducted by the Specialized Technical Committees, taking into account various statistical data and official reports.

The following is a summary of the aforementioned diagnosis, abridged from the full diagnostic report prepared by the Strategic Development Framework Committee during the early stages of the planning process.

Planning, Zoning and PopulationAccording to the Physical Plan, approved by the Ministry of Local Government, Al-Thahrieh has a built-up area of approximately 15,198 dunums, of which 20,000 are used. Of the latter, about 192 dunums are used for industrial purposes, 209 for commerce, and 15 dunums are used up for the road network. The agricultural land totals 80,000 dunums. This means that the built-up area not only exceeds that of the physical plan but also shows its insufficiency and the need for its modification in order to meet to needs of the residents. The community does not often respect and adhere to construction within the boundaries of the physical plan which also suffers from weak enforcement by the municipality and the relevant authorities.

In terms of population, the 2007 census estimated its population to 28,776 while in 2011; the population is estimated at 31,700. Based on population growth rate in the Hebron district (3.34%), future projections put the population numbers at four-year intervals closer to 36,216, 41,303, 47,103 and 52,719 in 2014, 2018, 2022 and 2026, respectively.

In addition to the municipality, a number of governmental departments and local institutions are present in the town but also provide services to the neighboring communities. Those institutions include: regional post office, a Chamber of Commerce, the Department of Agriculture, the office of the Ministry of Interior, the civil defense center, a police station, and a Shari’a Court.

surrounding villages of Al-Samu, Dura, Alramadin, and Shweika. The major eternal roads network measures about 30 km, most of which are in need for some maintenance. The internal roads network extends to 126 km, of which only 42 km paved. Agricultural roads amount to a total of 42 km.

Electricity services are supplied by the Southern Electricity Company covering about 97.2% of households. Although there are several water resources, about 12% of water supply is provided by the Israeli Water Company (Mokorot) and distributed through a municipal water distribution network. Most water comes from rainwater wells (36.3%), commercial water tanks (48.9%), springs (0.2%), and other sources (1.7%). The town is also challenges by shortages in water supply, unexploited springs, and water pollution.

1. 1. Water shortages

2. 2. Insufficient electrical supply compared to actual needs.

3. 3. Partial coverage of electricity and water networks.

Environment and Public HealthBecause there is no sewerage system, wastewater is collected in cesspits that are then emptied by special tanks and finally disposed of in riverbed and open valleys. The town is also affected by wastewater flow from neighboring Palestinian communities and Israeli settlements and factories built on the town’s land. Solid waste, however, is collected by compressor trucks from special garbage containers distributed all over the town, then buried in a special landfill.

1. Key development areas in public health and environment include:

2. 1. Inflow of wastewater into the town

Nevertheless, these institutions are challenged by the inadequacy of its equipment and resources especially fire-fighting and patrol vehicles.

Key areas in the area of public security include:

1. 1. Weak community involvement in promoting public safety and security.

Overall Strategic ObjectivesBased on the developmental issues identified under each field, the overall strategic objectives that contribute to addressing such areas were also identified. Moreover, another set of strategic objectives were added since they are directly linked to the achievements of all aspects of the shared developmental vision (i.e. outside the scope of current issues).

The following are the overall objectives or goals associated with the development areas and a list of those strategic goals. It should be noted that the performance indicators and their values are long-term as they span the period of the strategic development framework.
