Background:
Addressing the needs of Palestinians living in Area C and East Jerusalem is essential for their wellbeing and social development, and also to enable them to achieve their primary goal: to safeguard their property and source of livelihoods and stay on their land. The development potential of Area C is critical to the viability of the Palestinian State – an imperative acknowledged by a growing number of actors, including the PNA, the UN, the EU/MS, the AHLC and the Quartet. The Community Resilience and Development Programme for Area C and East Jerusalem (CRDP) is designed to address the challenges in both areas. Its objective is to empower local stakeholders, through the most appropriate partners to act with resilience to respond to threats that affect their sustenance on the land. The programme will thus contribute to i) prevent the erosion of Palestinian development capital in Area C and East Jerusalem; ii) protect Palestinian land and property in Area C and East Jerusalem; and iii) mitigate and ideally reverse migration flow from Area C and East Jerusalem by enhancing human security.
The intention is to assist the Palestinian Authority to plan, channel resources and implement actions for Area C and East Jerusalem to strengthen resilience and local development.
The programme will be implemented by a wide array of partners, including communities, grassroots organizations, local and international NGOs, based on their respective merits, and according to locally designed plans. The programme facilitates a complementary approach and a transition process from humanitarian interventions towards development and builds initiatives that are of a development nature, but that are not taking place in Area C and East Jerusalem. To do so, the programme is going to work at four levels: community infrastructure, protection of natural resources, income generation and human rights.
The CRDP is a Palestinian-owned programme facility led by MOPAD, facilitated by UNDP and implemented in partnership with civil society through regular calls for proposals. The PA will lead the process through the coordination of MOPAD at the policy level, and the inclusion of other line Ministries and Authorities when necessary at the implementation level.
