Our Work

Since 1994, USAID’s programs have helped to build institutions for statehood, promote a viable economy, and improve the everyday lives of Palestinians.  To date, this assistance has totaled more than $4.9 billion, supporting programs in a variety of areas.  Activities include:  infrastructure projects (schools, clinics, water supply and sanitation projects, and road construction); economic growth projects (trade expansion, agribusinesses improvements, and employment generation activities); health systems strengthening; support for municipalities on community-driven priorities; supporting democratic governance; improving education throughout the West Bank and Gaza; and, people-to-people reconciliation activities under a Congressionally-mandated Conflict Management and Mitigation (CMM) Program.
