3.8.4 Geographic Distribution of External Donors’
Partner PNGO HQs
Our geographical survey asked two different questions:
where are the HQs of your partner PNGO, and where is
the location of the project or program’s implementation.
Over the ten year period, interesting patterns emerged in
terms of the location of the external donors PNGO
partner organizations.
The Gaza Strip, even if well-represented in the first
years, declines steadily throughout the decade, with the
exception of 2006. After this slight increase the
percentage of partnerships falls by nearly 10% between
2006 and 2008, perhaps in response to the takeover by
Hamas.
Partnerships with PNGOs in the Northern and Southern
West Bank remain low throughout the decade, at or near
10%.

Partnerships with PNGOs located in the Central West
Bank, on the other hand, rise rapidly in the early years of
the study, and steadily afterwards until 2008, with the
exception of a slight dip between 2003 and 2004 47 . By
2008, 66.8% of international donors' partner PNGOs are
located in the Central West Bank.
In terms of Governmental versus INGO donors, the
former have a higher percentage of partnerships in the
Central West Bank, presumably as it is home to
Jerusalem and Ramallah, the political capitals of the
WB&GS. INGO donors closely mirror the overall
trends, with the exception of having fewer partnerships
in the Northern West Bank. Between 2006 and 2008,
INGO partnerships with PNGOs in the Gaza Strip
decreased by nearly 10%, with a corresponding 12%
increase in the Central West Bank.
3.8.5 Geographic Distribution of Externally
Funded Project Implementation
After having learned where international donors' PNGO
partners are headquartered, we sought to find out the
location of the implementation of the projects they were
funding..
As shown in the Figure 38 below, the Central West Bank
receives the highest percentage of international aid in
terms of project implementation. At 34.2%, the region
receives nearly double the aid in proportion to its share of
the population (17.8%). Only the Southern West Bank,
mostly due to Bethlehem, is the share of aid also higher
than the share of total population (23.5% and 18.9%
respectively).

During this same year, the percentage of partnerships in the Southern and Northern West Bank both rise.
