Area C Development Programme in the West Bank -Package VII Contract related to: Area C Development Programme in the West Bank -Package VII - The European Joint Support to Area C Programme (EU contribution of EUR 8 million out of a total of EUR 11.61 million) aims to contribute to resilience of Palestinians living in Area C by ensuring that they are better equipped and better served to protect their physical, economic and social assets and rights. It should contribute to preserve Area C as part of a future Palestinian State, which is a sine qua non condition to a transfer of responsibilities to the Palestinian Authority, in fulfilment of the Oslo Accords. With regard to planning and mapping of land rights, this intervention will contribute to better plan social and economic development and protect housing, land and property rights which are a pre-condition to sustainable socio-economic development (Output 1 &amp; 2).With regards to access to essential social and public infrastructure in Area C, this intervention aims to improve access to basic services (such as water, electricity, roads, education) through investment in social and public infrastructure, necessary for the sustainable and inclusive development of vulnerable local communities (Output 3 &amp; 4).Under this intervention, enhanced data collection, knowledge generation, monitoring, research and analytics on Area C will complement programme implementation (Output 5). The EU has opted for a policy of non-confrontation with the Israeli authorities to proceed with the implementation of infrastructure projects within the master plans approved or tacitly approved by Israeli Civil Authorities.The same implementation modalities are to be applied to the present action. Nevertheless, Building lessons learnt from previous actions, the proposed approach increases its scale and ambition in rethreading communities in Areas A-B-and C to one another, away from fragmentation, using wider spatial planning opportunities (the so-called geo-cluster approach[1]), to improve efficiency in service delivery by the Palestinian duty-bearers. In doing so, the action also serves to reconfirm the Palestinian Authority¿s institutional continuity and reach across Areas A, B, and C, and therefore its legitimacy across the territory as a whole. At the same time the programme will capitalise on enhanced nexus programming opportunities in Area C, complementing the humanitarian response, accelerating development, and where possible, protecting the prospects for peace.   [1] Should the proposed approach fail to materialize, the programme¿s flexibility allows to implement the action along the lines of the previous projects.
