Refugee target groups receive only a fraction of the total
external aid to large PNGOs, with the highest percentage
(11%) being in the second period.
The high percentage of respondents choosing the ‘All
Populations’ category is reflective of a sample weighted
towards large PNGOs working at the national and seminational
levels. We suspect however that the lower
percentage of external funded PNGO activities targeting
‘all populations’ in the third period, reflects the better
record keeping of PNGOs in more recent years, allowing
them to better allocate their activities by target
population.
3.11.3 Location of Large PNGO Project
Implementation by Region and Period
Our PNGO survey aimed to capture the changes in the
geographic distribution of large PNGO project
implementation on the regional level over the three
periods of time, rather than the population of PNGOs as
a whole. As the following table shows, there is a slight
increase (12.4% to 14.8%) in large PNGO activity in the
North WB during the second period, when the region
underwent extreme economic and social destruction in
Israel’s operation “Defensive Shield”. In the third period,
the percentage returns to little over twelve, highlighting
that within the West Bank, the north is the most under
represented region in comparison to the population
(24.3%).
The Central WB sees a slight increase between the first
and second periods, before declining again in the third
period to around 11% of the total. As the Central WB
constitutes 17.8% of the total Palestinian population, it
could be viewed as under represented in terms of
externally funded PNGO activities. However, we believe
this to be untrue as a number of the organizations
working at the All Palestine levels are located in the
Central WB and carry out activities there, as well as the
rest of the WB&GS.
The distribution of externally funded PNGO activities in
the South WB increases steadily over the three periods,
from 14.8% to 18.9%. This is precisely the distribution
of the population in the region.
The Gaza Strip is home to 39% of the Palestinian
population in the WB&GS and 29% of its activities. Like
the other regions, the Gaza Strip does receive a portion
of the aid designated as ‘All Palestine’.
