Israel Venture Network: Municipal Intervention

This intervention is active on a municipal level in two planes, namely (1) promoting managerial capabilities by bringing in measurement & evaluation, incorporating an integrator to assist in carrying out professional work and advanced management practices and by introducing a methodology that uses project cards to track the progress of projects and (2) by operating projects to advance student achievements and well-being.

This initiative focuses on improved coordination between local and national education authorities to create a systemic change in the education system.

Since 2002 IVN has been operating in various municipalities, namely Tiberius, the Galilee Panhandle, Sderot, and Ofakim. Over the years, IVN has worked in partnership with a variety of private foundations, NGO's and businesses, i.e. the Rashi Foundation, the Jewish Community Federation of San Francisco, the Jewish Agency for Israel, UIA Canada Coast to Coast Communities and partners from the business sector such as Amdocs, Check Point, etc. All IVN Eduacation Initiatives activities are carried out in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and local municipalities.
