The National Institute for Information Technology (NIIT), which was established by the Palestinian Economic Council for Development and Reconstruction (PECDAR) in 2001, is the main provider of IT training in Palestine. Over the years, the NIIT has evolved significantly, offering services and support in the field of information technology to the Palestinian community. The NIIT was established to participate in the development of an IT strategy for Palestine, develop programs that contribute to the development of IT within the Palestinian community, play an active role in shaping the Palestinian IT sector and build partnerships and alliances with other key players in the IT sector.
