3. Qalquliya and Tulkarm represent ‘marginalized districts’ where the amount of resources does not even compare to cities of similar size in the West Bank. 4. Inside of the GS, Gaza City receives 40% of the funding.

(Taken From: Hanafi, Tabar, 2005:81-82) Note: The categories ‘All West Bank’ and ‘All Gaza Strip’ capture the respondents whose activities cannot be localized to a governorate, or who lacked the data necessary to place past projects. The scale of the ambiguity in both the West Bank and Gaza (43.6% and 54.2% respectively) as to the specific direction of aid was an important motivation for our study. IV.5 Funding Fashions versus Development Priorities Dr Hanafi’s 1998 study, and the publication of 2005, emphasizes the role of donor funding in determining the priorities at the local level. According to his findings: a. Donors tend to have a broad framework allowing for maximum flexibility. This flexibility often translates into donors working in a number of sectors, rather than focusing on merely one or two. This increases their visibility on the ground, perhaps at the expense of their effectiveness, and allows them to follow the funding fashion trends set forth by national governments and intergovernmental agencies in the same manner that PNGOs do. b. Administrative Staff at INGOs are charged with choosing local partners and thus play a major role the decisionmaking and direction of development in Palestine. This is in light of the fact that these agencies are primarily channels between the donor governments and the local implementing organizations. 88
c. The donor agenda does not necessarily reflect rational choice in terms of INGOs identifying and meeting their own national or Palestinian objectives. Rather than being driven by a specific agenda, Dr Hanafi found that, for the most part, INGOs efforts are reactive. d. Short term funding that emphasizes certain local and international trends pushes Palestinian NGOs to pursue finite projects 6 rather than an overall goal of development through long term projects focused on a single sector or objective. 6 ‘Finite’ in this context refers to projects with a clear beginning and end. The criticism of such an approach is that development goals will be replaced by the goals of the project itself. Furthermore, these projects are often unrelated to each other, and therefore not aimed at achieving an overall goal, rather the objectives of the project itself. 89
