Tracking External Donor Funding.pdf - NDC

3. Tracking of External Donor Funding to PNGO
in the West Bank and Gaza Strip from 1999 to 2008.
Having looked into the historical, statistical and
structural aspects of external aid to the WB&GS, we are
better able to understand our own research data compiled
between April and September of 2009. The purpose of
the following chapter is to track external funding to
PNGOs by surveying both sides of the equation: PNGOs
themselves and their donor partners.
The first section will focus on the results of our survey of
80 PNGOs that, as discussed previously, has provided an
excellent picture of hundreds of donors over the ten years
analyzed. With this data, we paint a picture of:
The importance of external aid to PNGOs according
to the percentage of their operating budgets it
comprises;
The broad types of external aid granted to PNGOs;
The difference amongst different donor groupings in
the type and amount of aid given;
and the differences between governmental and
nongovernmental sources of external aid to PNGOs.
The data provided in our PNGO survey concerning the
activities and nature of PNGOs themselves is only
indicative of the larger PNGOs. In order to look at the
activities and nature of the PNGO population as a whole,
the donor survey is used.
The second section of our research will look at the
results of our survey of 41 donors in order to paint a
picture of the externally funded PNGO activities of
hundreds of PNGOs over a ten year period of time.
External Funds to PNGOs will be analyzed according to
the
Broad sectors and sub sectors of their activities
the target populations that their the externally
funded PNGO projects serve
and the geographic location of external donors and
partner PNGO headquarters, as well as the site of
project implementation
3.1 Amount of External Aid to PNGOs
As our surveys set out to cover as high a percentage as
possible of external funds to PNGOs in 2008, we first
had to estimate the total amount of aid entering into the
PNGO sector over the course of the period studied.
Figure 13 below illustrates the trend in aid to PNGOs as
estimated by the MoP over a ten year period, versus the
estimates of aid derived from the two previous MAS
mappings of the PNGO sector in 1999 and 2006.
