Abstract
This Poverty Assessment provides a comprehensive update on poverty in the Palestinian territories, drawing on insights from the latest Palestinian Expenditure and Consumption Survey (PECS) and other data sources. The assessment focuses on the period between the two most recent PECS (2016/17–2023), but also draws on earlier data to examine historical trends and more recent data to briefly assess changes in living conditions as a result of the ongoing conflict. It offers a snapshot of living conditions, discusses the early impacts of the conflict, analyzes the spatial dimensions of poverty within the West Bank, and examines the connections between fiscal policy and poverty.

Publication West Bank and Gaza - Assessment of Restrictions on Palestinian Water Sector Development(World Bank, 2009-04-01)The goal of the assessment is to develop a balanced analysis and create awareness of the factors restricting Palestinian water sector development as well as of the economic, social, and environmental impacts of these restrictions. The assessment addresses factors such as sector governance, and movement and access (M&A) restrictions beyond the control of the Palestinian Authority, as well as internal contributing factors, notably governance and capacity weaknesses of Palestinian institutions. This report, examines in turn: (1) the current situation, progress and impacts since Oslo; (2) the principal problems of the Palestinian water sector; and (3) the underlying constraints and their relation to the overall governance environment established under Oslo and to other institutional aspects. A fourth and final section looks at the agenda that faces the Palestinian authority in trying to develop water resources and services as a means to improve living standards and to increase economic growth.Publication Coping with Conflict? Poverty and Inclusion in the West Bank and Gaza(World Bank, 2011-07-29)The prevailing reality in the West Bank and Gaza, with its profound dependence on international aid and Israel, the stifling man-made regime of internal and external barriers to mobility, and the limited say on its economic policies and trade, is unique in the world. This report provides a detailed analysis of poverty and its close and enduring links with labor market outcomes and restrictions on the movement of goods and people in the West Bank and Gaza. The overarching objective of the report is to understand the trends in and determinants of poverty in the context of the ongoing conflict and closure regime. Covering the period after the second Intifada, this report is the first major analysis of poverty in the West Bank and Gaza since 2001, and unique in its use of multiple data sources, building a comprehensive and current picture of the economic and social well being of the Palestinian people. The dominant narrative of this report is one of divergence in important dimensions of poverty, growth and welfare between the West Bank and Gaza.Publication West Bank and Gaza Checkpoints and Barriers : Searching for Livelihoods(World Bank, 2010-01-01)This report assesses the impact of the movement and access regime in the period 2000-07 on the economy and the working lives of Palestinians, exploring the gender dimension of restrictions on labor force participation, and how new tensions in the arena of work resulting from movement and access restrictions have affected relations between women and men. The findings of this study are based on an analysis of data covering the years 2000 to 2007 and examine the long-term impacts of restrictions on movement and access. As controls on movement became more entrenched following the second intifada, a massive economic decline ensued, leading to a drop in male employment and real wages resulting from job losses in Israel, and a corresponding rise in unemployment. This same period also witnessed a sharp rise in both covert and overt forms of violence. Israeli military incursions, detentions, manned checkpoints, home demolitions, the separation barrier, and the Palestinians' own response spun a web of violence in public and private that touched the everyday lives of all Palestinians. The violence resulting from the occupation has led to loss of life, land, property, and free movement of people, and has fragmented social space, a key source of material and moral support especially for women. With neither Israeli nor Palestinian legal systems able to provide defense or protection, these momentous changes in people's everyday lives created a sense of collapse of the public, social, and moral order against this backdrop, the effects on Palestinian society have been extensive and far reaching, on relations between men and women, on intergenerational relations between the young and the old, on ties of kinship, and on social networks. This study, through qualitative sources, provides insights to a chain of events that have and are moderating social behavior and gender relations associated with work. The study also captures what the deteriorating situation has meant for Palestinian females and males of all ages in terms of their economic engagement, their ability to seek alternate livelihoods, their coping strategies, their social and human investments, and their future aspirations.Publication West Bank and Gaza : Country Financial Accountability Assessment(Washington, DC, 2004-06)This CFAA is able to report major improvements in the public financial management (PFM) system of the West Bank and Gaza (WB&G) in the period since mid-2002. Recent areas of improvement are in budgeting (both development and execution) and in fiscal transparency. Other PFM include the following: 1) All Palestinian Authority (PA) revenues are now paid into the Central Treasury Account (the CTA), a single treasury account which brings together all government revenues and provides a single pool of funds out of which all expenditures are paid. 2) An orderly system of budgetary appropriation is now in force. 3) Reflecting these new and improved processes, the budget speeches and extensive background budget data are posted on a regular basis on the Ministry of Finance's (MOF) external website, itself a symbol of a new approach to transparency and improved budget management. 4) MOF is exercising firm control over budget expenditures - with the obvious caveat that the chronic post-September 2000 shortage of Budget funds has led to strict limits on non-wage expenditures and to continuous ad hoc adjustments, with h d s often being released by MOF on a daily basis. One consequence of chronic revenue shortage and the erratic nature of donor budget support has been a periodic accumulation of expenditure arrears to the PA's pension funds, to commercial suppliers. These arrears and the short-term commercial bank debt that MOF has also contracted are, however, being transparently handled. The IMF is also regularly monitoring budget execution and the arrears and debt situation. 5) Monthly budget execution reports are now being prepared and posted on MOF's external website within a few days of the end of each month. 6) A program of placing in each ministry financial controllers who report to MOF has been initiated. 7) The MOF has launched a program to develop an ex post internal audit department in MOF. 8) Control over the civil service payroll has improved significantly. 9) In the 2004 Budget, the previous large discretionary transfer appropriation for the President's Office has been virtually eliminated with these funds instead transferred to relevant service ministries (Health, Education and Social Affairs). 10) The establishment of the Palestine Investment Fund (PIF) has brought all PA equity holdings, including virtually all state-owned enterprises (SOEs), under MOF oversight and within a centralized and commercially oriented management framework. 11) Measures have been taken to reduce PA monopolistic activities in the importation of cement, while the management of the Petroleum Commission has been taken over directly by MOF. On the basis of these improvements, and of Palestinian Authority (PA) commitment to further reforms, the World Bank is able to support a program of general donor budget support to the PA. However, the CFAA also identifies "residual weaknesses" in financial accountability, which relate to the lack of adequate public aggregate financial statements, inadequate auditing, and the undeveloped oversight role of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC). The report discusses a significant number of actions, which still need to be implemented and notes that most of the essential steps are either under implementation by the PA, or are planned.Publication West Bank and Gaza : Palestinian Trade, West Bank Routes(Washington, DC, 2008-12-16)The World Bank analyzed the logistics of trade corridors from Gaza through Egypt as an alternative to sending exports via Israel. This paper extends this work and examines the viability of different trade routes from the West Bank. Another earlier paper describes the complex agglomeration of physical obstacles, administrative barriers and permit policies that Israel uses to restrict movement in the West Bank. This paper also builds on this work by quantifying some of the resulting costs. West Bank enterprises have essentially two options to access the world market: (a) out through Israeli ports or airport; and (b) across the Jordan River and out through Jordan ports or airport. While, it is also possible to send goods across Israel and through Egypt, this route is currently uneconomical.
