Occupied Palestinian Territories
DFID has been supporting the Palestinian people for over 15
years. DFID’s aid to the Palestinians is part of a wider
international objective to create a viable and independent
Palestinian state so that Palestinians can live in peace alongside
Israel. Our aid has been helping the Palestinians prepare for
statehood and the economy grow stronger so that a future Palestinian
state can be economically viable. We are helping:
- The Palestinian Authority deliver public services
like health and education
- The Palestinian economy grow stronger by providing
grants to Palestinian companies reach new markets.
- The Palestinian security forces make the streets
safer for ordinary Palestinians.
