The Al Maleh Agricultural Cooperative is a non governmental community organisation based in the north Jordan Valley. The organisation has previously carried out work in the field of cultural protection, including renovating a traditional Bedouin tent and creating groups to work on traditional embroidery, and has a strong history of carrying out advocacy work related to the ongoing conflict and associated human rights abuses in the region, particularly as this impacts on Bedouin communities.

The Al Twani Crafts Cooperative is a non governmental community organisation based in the south Hebron Hills. In the past the Al Twani Craft Cooperative has organised a women’s group to preserve traditional embroidery skills whilst simultaneously serving as a forum for mutual support and exchange. This has supported community cohesion, and the cooperative are keen to pursue other projects that link heritage protection to increasing community resilience.
