The Community Action Center’s mission is threefold: (i) to empower individuals and communities living in East Jerusalem, who were, are, and will be denied basic social and economic rights; (ii) to make Jerusalemites aware of their own civil entitlements; and (iii) to access and build on other existing rights-based organizations in order to develop the basic, essential civic capacity needed in order to empower Palestinian civil society at all levels.

Notes
In 1999, Al-Quds University created the Community Action Center, a semiautonomous association, which aims to empower the Palestinian community in occupied Jerusalem. Located in the Old City of Jerusalem as well as in al-Abraj Building in Abu Dis, the center aims to empower disadvantaged Palestinian Jerusalemites to access their rights and entitlements and negotiate the complex procedures that control the flow of these rights.
