Gaza Early Recovery Program 2021-2023 Gaza Early Recovery Program 2021-2024 With a long-standing presence in Palestine, UNDP has a deep understanding of the local context. UNDP enjoys a solid partnership with Palestinian institutions, civil society organizations, and international development partners, as well as the communities themselves. 

The Gaza Early Recovery program aims to contribute to restoring safe and unimpeded access to basic services through cash assistance and rubble removal. Through the program, internally displaced non-refugee families will be assisted to find affordable and adequate housing, and at the same time being provided rental subsidies, while awaiting the reconstruction of their destroyed homes. This program will also contribute to creating short-term job opportunities for the economically devastated people in Gaza. 

The geographical focus of the contribution will be the whole of the Gaza Strip unless otherwise specified in the agreement. 

An eighteen month (18) contribution, covering the period 2021-2023, and amounting to a total of SEK 25 million, is proposed. 

UNDP will be Sida’s agreement partner. Med en långvarig närvaro i Palestina har UNDP en djup förståelse av den lokala kontexten. UNDP har ett solitt partnerskap med Palestinska institutioner, med organisationer från det civila samhället och internationella utvecklingspartners, samt med olika delar och nivåer av samhället.

Genom kontantstöd samt säker undanröjning av spillror och byggnadsrester avser Gaza Early Recovery program bidra till att återställa trygg tillgång till grundläggande service. Programmet bistår internt fördrivna familjer (ej flyktingar) med prisvärda och lämpliga bostäder och hyressubventioner medan de väntar på återuppbyggandet av sina förstörda hem. Detta program kommer också att bidra till att skapa kortsiktiga arbetstillfällen för ekonomiskt utsatta människor i Gaza.

Det geografiska fokuset i insatsen kommer vara hela Gaza, om inte annat specificeras i avtalet.

Insatsen föreslås vara 18 månader lång, under perioden 2021-2023, omfattande totalt 25 miljoner svenska kronor.

UNDP kommer vara Sidas avtalspartner. The overall objective of the Gaza Early Recovery Program is to contribute to restoring safe and unimpeded access to basic services through cash assistance and rubble removal. 

Through the program, internally displaced non-refugee families will be assisted to find affordable and adequate housing, and at the same time being provided rental subsidies, while awaiting the reconstruction of their destroyed homes.

Based on the recovery needs highlighted in the revised program document dated 2021.11.11, UNDP is proposing to revise the scope of the Gaza Early Recovery Programme and request additional funding from Sweden (25 MSEK with extension of the activity period until June 2023) in order to address gaps for TSCA for refugee internally displaced households, alongside TSCA provided to non-refugee IDPs; include interventions geared towards restoring and stabilizing the livelihoods of conflict-affected people, namely those who lost their jobs, those who lost their homes and are unemployed, those who lost both, as a result of the hostilities of May 2021.
