Figure 14: Estimates of Aid to PNGOs Compared to the Number of PNGOs Operating in the WB&GS (1990 -2008) 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 Number of PNGOs Donor Funding to PNGOs PNGO Funding Sources: 1990: Author’s Estimate (indicative only). 1991, 1992, 1993: The World Bank 2008 (indicative only.) The estimate given is between 200 and 140 million USD per year. 1994: Sullivan 1998:95 (cited in Challand, :68). 1995: World Bank, 2008, estimates that between 1995-96, 60 million dollars went to PNGOs, which is not far off from MOPIC’s (1998) estimates of 45-50 million between 1995-1998, which is an underestimate that excludes contributions to INGOs. 1996, 1997, 1998: Welfare 1998 (cited in Hanafi, Tabar, 2005:73,75). 1999 – 2008: MoP PAMS Database Number of PNGOs Sources: Curmi, 2002, MAS, 2001 & 2007. Ministry of Interior Estimates of PNGOs Over the course of the study, MAS sought to fill in figure 14 with the help of the Palestinian Ministry of Interior (MoI). The data that they returned was problematic for our study for a number of reasons: We received data for 9 years as opposed to the ten requested The Gaza Strip is not included in any of the numbers Data returned conflicted wildly with our own compilation of estimates According to the MoI in figure 15 below, the number of PNGOs, in only the West Bank, rises throughout the period studied, sharply in 2004, and steadily after that. When compared to our own previous Mappings of PNGOs, the differences between the MoI and MAS are very large. Whereas the MoI estimates that there were 370 PNGOs in the West Bank in 2001, MAS estimates the number to be 675, or nearly double. In 2007 however, the MoI estimates that 1811 PNGOs were operating in the West Bank, representing a nearly 500% increase in 6 years. MAS estimate that 951 PNGOs were active in the West Bank in 2007, representing a 40% increase. The differences between the numbers of the MoI and our own table are suspected to be the following: The MoI accounts for ‘registered’ NGOs, whereas other studies are looking for ‘active ones’. The high rate of ‘NGO turnover’, caused by donor funding shifting in and out of different sectors by year may not be accounted for by the MoI. In sum, those who registered, may never un-register. The definition of NGO used by the MoI differs from that used by MAS (see Glossary of Terms Used). The MoI uses the Palestinian Charitable Law on Associations (2000) Article 2 where an NGO is defined as “Any charitable Association or civil society Organization with an independent judicial character, established upon the agreement of no less than 7 persons to achieve legitimate objectives of public concern, without aiming at financial profit-making or other personal benefit for the members”. This broader and more ambiguous definition contributes significantly to the difference between MAS and MoI estimates. 30

As figure 16 shows, external assistance has by far outdistanced local assistance in terms of scale and rate of growth 34 . Between the two studies mapping the whole of the Palestinian population (1999 and 2006), there is a 14% increase in external donor dependency and a smaller increase in dependency on the PA for funds – both at the expense of 'other' sources. The ‘Other’ category includes: revenue generating activities, aid from the PA, aid from within the Green Line, Aid from Palestinian Diaspora and Other sources of revenue 35 .
