"UNDP Palestinian Territories, Investment Programme for Resilience, Phase III (IPR III)"

active

Palestinian society is suffering from long-lasting, multiple crises. These are expressed, among other things, in limited access to resources, geographical fragmentation and severe restrictions on the movement of people and goods due to the Israeli occupation and the blockade of the Gaza Strip. Due to financial and economic restrictions, the public sector can only provide the necessary social services to a limited extent, so that non-governmental social institutions and NGOs are increasingly stepping in. But non-governmental actors are also affected by the same problems. The aim of the IPR project is to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable Palestinian communities. This includes improving social infrastructure and services in conjunction with promoting social cohesion. The project combines the two fields of action of transitional aid: reconstruction of basic infrastructure and basic services, and peaceful and inclusive coexistence. The measures comprise three complementary outputs, for which EUR 13 million will be made available: Output 1: Rehabilitation and/or expansion of social infrastructure with a focus on Gaza, East Jerusalem and a few C areas. Output 2 Strengthening the capacity of local social institutions in the areas of management, operation and maintenance. Output 3 Strengthening social cohesion through the formulation and implementation of resilience plans in the communities.
