Tracking External Donor Funding.pdf - NDC

In 2006, 79.8% of PNGO funding in Rural Development
came from the external donors. Most of the remainder
came from self-financing. In 2006, PNGOs working in
the Water and Environment sector were the most heavily
dependent upon international aid, with a total of 93.4%
of their funding financed from abroad 39 .
Vocational Training
The Vocational Training sector hits a peak in 2002
during the height of the Intifada. before decreasing
slightly into 2003. From 2004 to 2005 Vocational
Training begins to decrease again before remaining
steady between 2 and 3% through to 2008.
INGO donors follow the overall trend closely.
Governments do as well, with the exception of 2004
where their funding does not begin to decrease. INGOs
contributed less than Governmental donors in the earlier
years, and more in the latter.
In 2006, PNGOs in this sector received 72.5% of their
funding from international aid, with almost all of the
remainder coming from self-financing activities (MAS,
2007:80).
Other
From what our researchers were able to gather about the
small number of the donors who used this sector as a
definition of their aid, activities focused around
microfinance and capacity building for recipients. Any
number of other activities however may be included.
Without knowing what the activities are, from our
previous studies we do know that PNGOs who fit into the
Other sector receive 66.3% of their funding through
external aid (MAS, 2007:80).

3.6.4.3 External Funding to Rights-Based
Development PNGOs
Human Rights
External aid to Human Rights PNGOs peaked during the
2002 height of the Intifada, before sharply declining into
2003. Following this there is a steady decline until 2005,
after which it plateaus to between 10 – 11% of total
external aid to PNGOs. Much like Charity and Relief,
Human Rights funding tends to correlate closely with
political events, mainly crisis. However, as Figure 25
shows, Human Rights spending remained at its peak
from 2005 – 2008.
The INGO donor sector follows the pattern of overall,
while apportioning a smaller percentage of funding to the
sector than Government donors. Governmental donors
apportioned between 16 – 18% of their aid to the sector
between 2001 and 2008. INGO donors, on the other
hand, apportioned between five and seven percent over
the same period. According to previous MAS mappings,
75.8% of Human Rights PNGOs’ funding consists of
external aid (MAS, 2007:80).

It should be noted that PARC receives the lion’s share of funding to this sector to the rural development, and often acts as a donor to smaller
implementing PNGOs or CBOs. The same is largely true of the Palestinian Hydrology Group in the water and environment sector.
