ASAI’s 10-Year Strategic Plan (2024-2034)
Arab Student Aid International (ASAI) is excited to share our strategic initiatives for the next decade. With the unwavering support of our Board of Trustees, Board of Directors, graduates, and staff, we aim to implement the following transformative projects:
1. Expansion of Interest-Free Loans
We plan to increase the number of low-income and outstanding students benefiting from our Interest-Free Loan program by 10% annually. This initiative targets postgraduate students specializing in applied and pure sciences at reputed universities in the USA and Europe. Our goal is to support 19,750 students, with an estimated cost of $9,650,000 over the next five years.
2. Enhancing Labor Force Participation
ASAI will intensify its efforts to improve the labor force qualitatively and quantitatively. We will focus on specializations that contribute to national and regional socio-economic development, with graduates impacting public, private, and service sectors. This project is budgeted at $55,000.
3. Environmental Protection Initiatives
Recognizing the importance of the environmental revolution, ASAI will prioritize funding for projects related to capacity building and laboratory equipment support for universities in Palestine, Lebanon, and Iraq. The estimated cost for this initiative is $3.9 million over the next five years.
4. Advanced Management Training
Addressing urgent needs in Arab countries, ASAI will organize training courses for decision-makers and managers in production, consumer sectors, and NGOs. These courses will cover industrialization, agriculture, tourism, social development, and free trade center management. The project will span eight years, with an estimated cost of $4.5 million.
5. Scholarships for Refugee Students
To meet the high demand for scholarships among Arab students in refugee camps, ASAI will request scholarships from 250 top universities in the USA and 150 universities in Europe and other countries. The administrative and data processing costs for this project are estimated at $200,000.
6. Laboratory Equipment for West Bank and Gaza
In response to the high demand for modern laboratory equipment in the West Bank and Gaza, ASAI will provide grants to colleges of Science, Medicine, and Engineering to enhance teaching, research, and community service in agriculture. This project is budgeted at $1.5 million.
7. Educational Research
ASAI will conduct research in educational development relevant to the labor market and creativity. We will send questionnaires to Palestinian university presidents and contract professional researchers to complete this assignment, with an estimated cost of $250,000.
8. Participation in Academic and Educational Gatherings
As a member of several international and regional educational foundations, ASAI will allocate resources to participate in approximately 30 academic and educational meetings over the next 10 years. The budget for this project is $270,000.
9. Media and Visibility Enhancement
To enhance ASAI’s visibility and disseminate information about our services and educational development, we will increase our presence on social media and other educational platforms. This will include publishing articles, reports, and utilizing technology to advocate for progressive educational development. The estimated cost for this project is $450,000.
Total Funds Needed
The total funds required to achieve these ambitious projects over the next decade amount to $21,220,000.
