Activity under preparation East Jerusalem grants for 2025 Contract related to: East Jerusalem grants for 2025 - The proposed Action aims at supporting the resilience of the Palestinian population of East Jerusalem and at safeguarding its Palestinian identity, in the absence of Palestinian institutions within the city. It seeks to prevent the Palestinian population in East Jerusalem from being further coerced into leaving the city, thus jeopardizing the possibility of Jerusalem serving as the future capital of both States.&nbsp;EU support to East Jerusalem is multi-sectoral and challenges are addressed in a cyclical manner. The programme targets interventions primarily in the four following sectors (i) Human rights protection; (ii) Socio-economic support; (iii) Education and culture and (iv) Protection of environment, urbanism and housing rights.&nbsp;The crosscutting themes under this action include good governance principles and gender equality. The Rights Based Approach is central to each project undertaken under this Action.&nbsp;Activities will support the community capacity to enhance the living conditions in East Jerusalem. It aims to respond to the continued deterioration of socio-political and economic trends, caused by discriminatory policies, insufficient and unbalanced investment in community services, minimal municipal public services, extreme poverty rates, low labour force participation, limited opportunities and protection for women and vulnerable groups, low private investment and minimal economic development.&nbsp;The proposed Action supports the implementation of the European Joint Strategy (EJS) in support of Palestine 2021-2024 ¿Towards a democratic and accountable Palestinian State¿. The EJS is closely aligned to the new Palestinian National Policy Agenda (NPA) 2017-2022 and to the Sustainable Development Goals especially Sustainable Development Goal n°10 ¿Reduced inequalities among the other mentioned above. The proposed action is closely aligned with the Palestinian Strategic Sectorial Development Plan for Jerusalem (SSDPJ 2018-2022) which contains 17&nbsp;sectors of intervention for East Jerusalem.
Activity under preparation AAP 2022 - UNHABITAT - Continued support to Area C planning, land rights, mapping and advocacy Contract related to: AAP 2022 - UNHABITAT - Continued support to Area C planning, land rights, mapping and advocacy - 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.

EUR 10 million from the Food and Resilience Facility will be added to the CTP (social protection for vulnerable families) component which will therefore amount to EUR 50 million in total. This additional support will aim to address the consequences of rising prices of food and commodities in Palestine, thus helping mitigate the impact of Russia¿s war against Ukraine. The present Action Document (AD) introduces some elements of innovation compared to past PEGASE programmes, such as a.) an increased and gradual weight of the incentive based component to stimulate reforms, b.) a more stringent governance system to enhance policy dialogue and monitoring of implementation through the setting up of a dedicated Steering Committee, c.) a more solid assessment of the reform process and its achievements through a system of external oversight, and d.) strengthening the synergies with complementary capacity development activities.
