NGO Project III: The objective of the project is to provide social services to those who are poor, vulnerable or affected by the deteriorating socioeconomic conditions by establishing an effective mechanism to improve the quality and sustainability of NGO social service delivery. The project has also been designed to contribute towards institutional development of the NGO sector and contribute to equity in access to social services for the poor and marginalized.  The total project costs have been estimated at US$17.60 million, with financing of US$10million from the Trust Fund for Gaza and West Bank (TFGWB) and €6 million by the Agence Française de Développement (the French Development Agency).

Emergency Municipal Services and Rehabilitation Project II: The impact of prolonged economic contraction and fiscal compression has been felt across all segments of Palestinian society and at every institutional level.  Due to lack of fiscal transfers, municipalities have been unable to sustain municipal services. The main objectives of EMSRP II are to: (a) help mitigate further deterioration in the delivery of essential municipal services (ii) create temporary job opportunities at the local level through the launching of labor-intensive employment generation schemes, and (iii) pilot innovative initiatives that foster Local Government-NGO collaboration in response to urgent community needs and assist municipalities in recovering costs for the provision of services.  The total cost of the proposed project is currently estimated to be about US$40.2 million out of which US$10 million with financing of US$10 million from the Trust Fund for Gaza and West Bank (TFGWB), and further commitments of €5 million from the Government of the Netherlands and €12 million from Agence Française de Développement.  Other donor funding commitments are pending

Supplemental Financing for the Integrated Community Development Project (ICDP):  The ICDP is a follow-on project to the previous CDPI & II, aimed at improving the quality and availability of basic social and economic services in poor and marginalized communities through financing investments in local infrastructure and institutions. ICDP prioritizes investments to preserve and extend the capital stock of infrastructure owned by villages and small municipalities in regions with the highest incidence of poverty. The proposed additional financing of US$5 million from the Trust Fund for Gaza and West Bank (TFGWB) would increase investments in local infrastructure and institutions to improve the quality and availability of basic social and economic services, promoting local economic growth and employment, and supporting human development and poverty reduction. Priority will be given to projects with the highest labor content (above 30 %) and which reach the most communities.
