The MASHAV Courses
Israeli experts share their know-how to Filipinos.
What started as a modest program focused on basic human capacity building at a time when Israel itself was still very much a developing country, has already blossomed into an extensive program of cooperation throughout the developing world with the aim of ensuring social, economic and environmental sustainable development. The courses offered are for professionals ages 30 -50 years old and with at least 3 years relevant experience on the subject course they are applying for.
