Tracking External Donor Funding.pdf - NDC

As Figure 32 shows, donor government funding by target
population shows a heavy focus upon urban areas, with
the majority of the years measuring between 45 and 50%
of total funding. When compared with the sectors funded
by the government, this makes more sense. On average,
governmental contributions to PNGOs working in the
rural sector is lower than their nongovernmental
counterparts. Unlike nongovernmental donors, however,
donor governments contribute significantly to rural
development through partnerships with the PA and local
municipalities.

Urban Rural Refugee
With the exception of 2000 to 2002, donor government
contributions to PNGOs working with refugees has
remained low. Between 2002 and 2008, the percentage
of total funding apportioned to this sector fell from
27.4% to only 16%. Much like governmental work with
rural communities, PNGOs are not the primary conduit
of governmental development assistance to refugees.
UNRWA, the largest UN agency with a budget
extending into the hundreds of millions, is fully financed
by nation state contributions to work with refugees above
and beyond the efforts of the PA or PNGOs.
3.8 Tracking Externally Funded PNGO
Activities by Geography
One of the primary tasks of our survey was to pinpoint
the geographic location of external aid at the governorate
and district level. Previous studies, such as Welfare
1998, were unsuccessful in distinguishing between the
location of partner PNGOs and the location of their
work. Furthermore, there has been little analysis done on
the location of donors themselves. Our geographical
analysis of external funding and PNGOs focused on the
geographic distribution of PNGOs, the geographic
distribution of donors, the location of the HQs of
external financed partner PNGOs and the geographic
distribution externally financed project implementation.
3.8.1 Geographic Distribution of PNGO HQs in
the WB&GS
Tracking the number and sector of PNGOs is not as
difficult as tracking the location of the organizations
themselves, and further, the location of their project
implementation. As Figure 33 show, there is a marked
difference between MAS and MoI data on the
distribution of PNGOs. The trends from the MoI data of
PNGO distribution align more closely with International
Agency Distribution (focused on the central West Bank),
while MAS's mapping spreads NGOs and their activities
almost evenly throughout the West Bank. Most
noticeable is the 2007 trend toward greater activity in the
Northern West Bank as opposed to the Center. The
following Figure 33 shows the distribution of PNGOs by
region in the WB&GS in 1999 and 2006.
