tokten - UNDP

As parts of Palestine came under the jurisdiction of the
Palestinian Authority, the process of state and institution
building began. In order to build a society which can
deal with the enormous developmental issues that face
Palestinian society, much expertise is needed.
MOPIC, supported and helped by UNDP and the
Government of Japan, has managed the TOKTEN
Programme since its inception in the West Bank and
Gaza Strip.
The TOKTEN Project in the Palestinian Self-Rule
Areas has been an immense success. With the help of
UNDP, more than 200 expatriate professionals have
lent their expertise and services to the varying sectors of
Palestinian society.
Working hand in hand with counterparts in the West
Bank and Gaza, they have been able to help develop
potential in the areas of health, social sciences,
education, human resource development, infrastructure,
planning, finance, agriculture, the fine arts, public
relations, and technology and many other fields of
expertise.
We appreciate the great support that UNDP and the
Government of Japan have rendered to the Palestinian
people through the TOKTEN Programme. We look
forward to further developing the extent to which the
TOKTEN Programme can help build the infrastructure
necessary to take Palestinian Society to independence
and fully-fledged development in the third millennium.
