Tracking External Donor Funding.pdf - NDC

Governmental Donors
As discussed in the previous sections, decreases in
governmental aid to PNGOs runs in parallel to an
increase in PNGO partnerships with multilateral
agencies. During the period of the Intifada for example,
multilateral aid to PNGOs comprises around ¾ of total
governmental aid, as opposed to only around ¼ in
2008.

3.6 Tracking External Funding to PNGOs by
Sector and Sector Grouping
3.6.1 Distribution of PNGOs by Sector
MAS mappings of the PNGO population in 1999 and
2006 revealed what activity sectors PNGOs are engaged
in. figure 21 shows both the growth in the number of
PNGOs as a whole, as well as the shift among sectors.
The sectors that saw the most dramatic growth between
1999 and 2006 were Charity and Relief, Family
Planning, Liberal Arts Education, Rural Development,
Health, Vocational Training, Democracy Promotion and
Women’s Affairs. All of these sectors at least doubled
the number of NGOs working in them, within an overall
65% growth in the number of PNGOs between 1999 and
2006. The sectors of Disabled Care, Scientific Education,
and Human Rights all saw more moderate growth in the
numbers of PNGOs working in them.
Given the overall growth of PNGOs, it is not surprising
that relatively few sectors saw a decline. The fact that
some do decline, however, signals a clear difference in
priorities between the two cross-sectional snapshots.
According to our mappings, the sectors of Children’s
Activities, Elderly Care, Water & Environment,
Research, Religious Activities, Youth & Sports and
‘Others’ all saw a decline in the number of PNGOs
identifying them as their primary activity between 1999
and 2006.
