According to the MoP's estimates, the trend in Arab country donations away from both Development and Emergency Relief, the two areas where they would presumably support the Palestinian NGO sector, explains in large part why we know so little about their contributions – there is not so much to know. Arab country support following the 2006 elections was critical to the health of the PA as they chose not to divert their money into PNGOs or International Agencies, as did their Western counterparts prior to the establishment of the TIM. However, Figure 8 does not measure the contributions of multilateral agencies, such as the AGFUND, that fund both PNGOs and international agencies. 14
Figure 8: Type of External Aid Disbursed by Donor Grouping (2005-2007) Source: Ministry of Planning, 2008:12. Asian countries disbursed no money to PA budget support in any of the years measured below 24 . Asian disbursements were relatively evenly divided between humanitarian and development aid in 2005. Humanitarian projects were favored in 2006 and focus shifted to development projects in 2007. In 2005, European disbursements were relatively evenly split between the three categories. In 2006, development disbursements dropped in favor of increases to emergency aid and lesser increases to budget support. In 2007, through the TIMS and PEGASE, the EU became the primary supporter of the PA. The North American countries (US and Canada) gave almost no budget support over the three years. In 2005, they disbursed two-thirds to humanitarian aid and onethird to development. Development disbursements dropped to a fifth in 2006 and a tenth in 2007 in favor of humanitarian aid. Today, much of the USAID support to the WB&GS is put toward security sector reform programs. Much of the remainder is channeled through IGOs or INGOs, with a much smaller portion reaching PNGOs through direct partnerships in comparison with European donors. The apparent absence of US influence in the PNGO sector in our survey was not found to be the case in Hanafi's study of donor funding in 1998. At that time, the US was the largest single country donor to the PNGO sector (Hanafi, 2005). To find out more about the development and changes in USAID, see section 3.4. 2.2.5 The Twenty Largest Donors to the WB&GS Table 6 shows the top twenty donor countries to the WB&GS from 1994 to 2008, according to commitments and disbursements. The percentage column on the right illustrates how good each country has been at keeping to their pledge. The EC is by far the largest donor to the WB&GS. Moreover, when one includes EU member states (*), European Union aid to the WB&GS comprises approximately 54% of the funds by the top twenty donors since Oslo. Though Europeans are by far the largest donors, their Arab counterparts are a little better at keeping their pledges. Saudi Arabia, the third largest donor to the WB&GS, has met 97% of its pledges. The remaining Arab countries (Algeria, Kuwait and Qatar) all disbursed 100% of their pledges. On the other hand, the Islamic Development Bank, a multi-lateral instrument channeling Arab aid into the WB&GS, has met only 80% of its commitments since Oslo, lower than the EC or US. It is not only the ability to keep their financial promises that make Arab donors preferable to others. According to MoP officials, Arab funds come with fewer ties and conditions and a greater space for ownership. 24 According to the former director of the MoP Aid Management and Coordination Directorate, though much of the aid from countries was reported as development support, much of it was shifted into budget support and humanitarian assistance in an effort to avoid funding the Hamas government. 15
