The following Figure 28 compares the distribution of<br />

PNGOs with that of the Palestinian population as a<br />

whole. Though at a glance it appears that the distribution<br />

of PNGOs aligns with the distribution of the population,<br />

there are slight differences. While rural areas are almost<br />

exactly aligned, the number of PNGOs operating in<br />

urban areas is higher than the percentage of Palestinians<br />

living there, with the opposite being true of refugees.<br />

3.7.2 <strong>External</strong> Aid to PNGOs versus Palestinian<br />

Demographics<br />

The following Figure 29 compares our survey results<br />

with the Palestinian Population distribution, the<br />

distribution of PNGOs and the distribution of those<br />

under the poverty line by target population. We also<br />

looked into the differences in funding to target<br />

populations between governmental and nongovernmental<br />

sources.<br />

Urban – While the percentage of Palestinians living in<br />

urban areas in 2007 was 53.1%, over half of them<br />

(50.6%) are under the poverty line. In spite of this, Urban<br />

Palestinians only received 38% of the total externally<br />

funded PNGO projects, with a marked difference<br />

between Governmental (49%) and INGO donors (32%).<br />

Rural – The percentage of Palestinians living in rural<br />

areas in 2007 was approximately 31%, 29.8% of them<br />

live below the poverty line. In spite of these two facts,<br />

rural Palestinians receive 41% of total externally funded<br />

projects managed through PNGOs, with only a slight<br />

difference between Governmental (34.8%) and INGO<br />

donors (44.5%).<br />

<strong>External</strong> aid Distribution – MAS, 2009 – <strong>Donor</strong> Survey<br />

Refugee – While comprising 15.9% of the total<br />

population in the WB&GS, 19.6% of them live below<br />

the poverty line. 21% of all external aid channeled<br />

through PNGOs targets the refugees, with a marked<br />

difference between Governmental 41 (16%) and INGO<br />

donors (23.8%).<br />

3.7.3 <strong>Tracking</strong> <strong>External</strong> <strong>Funding</strong> to PNGOs by<br />

Target Area (1999 -2008)<br />

The following section focuses on the distribution of<br />

external aid to PNGO projects according to the target<br />

area of the project’s implementation over ten years.<br />

According to our survey results, external aid to PNGO<br />

projects targeting urban populations rose from 2000 to<br />

2003, before remaining steady just below 40% of the<br />

total, 13% lower than the Palestinian percentage of urban<br />

inhabitants.<br />

<strong>External</strong> aid to PNGO projects targeting rural<br />

populations is consistently the highest, garnering 42.2%<br />

of aid in 2000 and 2007, while only comprising 31% of<br />

the total population in 2007. This is in large part due to<br />

the scale of projects targeting urban areas versus rural,<br />

the latter receiving more large-scale assistance in terms<br />

of infrastructure.<br />

41<br />

While Governmental donors channel a smaller percentage of their aid through PNGOs to the refugee population than INGO donors, the former<br />

invest heavily in this sector through support to UNRWA.<br />
