"FALLING LEAVES WILL ALWAYS RETURN TO THEIR ROOTS"
The United Nations Development Programme/Programme of Assistance to the Palestinian People (<strong>UNDP</strong>/PAPP) has been privileged to serve the Palestinian people in the West Bank and Gaza Strip for over twenty years. During this period, <strong>UNDP</strong>/PAPP has mobilized over $300 million in grants to support the rehabilitation of infrastructure and to build the capacities of Palestinian institutions. One of the most sectorally diversified and sophisticated of these activities has been TOKTEN, which stands for the "Transfer of Knowledge Through Expatriate Nationals". With over 4.5 million Palestinians in the Diaspora, virtually all of them highly talented and interested in serving their fellow Palestinians in the peace-building and development process, TOKTEN has a rich pool of talent on which to draw. Since 1995 <strong>UNDP</strong>/PAPP has benefited from the talents of over 200 Palestinian women and men, from outside the West Bank and Gaza and from many walks of life, who have volunteered their services in a variety of disciplines to strengthen Palestinian institutions. They have ranged from civil aviation experts to strategic planners and education and public health experts to leaders in information technology. Individually, they work with a Palestinian Authority or non-governmental/private sector counterpart for at least three months, but frequently for longer periods of time. A few have even decided to change their "expatriate" status and return to the land of their forefathers on a permanent basis on behalf of the Palestinian people. <strong>UNDP</strong>/PAPP has been very fortunate to have good partners who have provided the financial resources to support the TOKTEN Programme, which was initially funded by the Governments of France and Norway, and more recently through very generous contributions from the Government of Japan. Another good partner is the Minister and staff of the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation, which is the <strong>UNDP</strong>/PAPP counterpart in the Palestinian Authority for TOKTEN, as well as the many good partners in Palestinian Authority ministries, research centers and nongovernmental organizations. To all, <strong>UNDP</strong>/PAPP is sincerely grateful. In less than five years, the impact of TOKTEN has and is being felt throughout the fabric of Palestinian society. This publication is designed to give its readers a flavor of this, uniquely Palestinian, activity which, since its inception, has been faithfully and diligently guided by an extraordinary colleague, Mr. Mounir Kleibo. I commend it to you as an extraordinary success story along the path to peace and development. Timothy S. Rothermel Special Representative of the Administrator <strong>UNDP</strong>/PAPP Jerusalem - April 2000
