The Impact of Foreign Aid on the Palestinian Economy

The impact of International aid and donor intervention remains highly complex and controversial in many conflict-affected areas. In the case of Palestine the literature on aid and development tends to view humanitarian aid as part of the solution to the persistent crisis and as one of the most important resources that has the potential to ameliorate conditions of poverty and want. After signing of the principle declaration agreement between the PLO and the Israeli government in september 1993 donor countries developed a mechanism to fund the PNA in order to handle the situation and promote the living conditions of the Palestinian people to generate a sense and widely believed that a there is an improvement in the Palestinian people daily life due to engage in the peace process. The main goal of this book is to identify the impact played by international aid in promoting economic development in the Palestinian occupied territories.
