MASHAV, Israel’s Agency for International Development Cooperation, was founded by Golda Meir in 1957 after a visit to the newly independent African states, to share Israeli expertise with developing nations. 

Since its establishment within the Foreign Ministry, MASHAV has trained close to 270,000-course participants from approximately 132 countries in Israel and abroad and has developed dozens of demonstration projects. 

MASHAV provides technical and emergency assistance across the globe.
