World Bank Palestinian Reform and Development Plan Trust Fund

Results achieved as of the end of the project include: Key financial reforms in the areas of domestic revenue generation and expenditure budgeting and restraint have been implemented; comprehensive expenditure revenue and debt data are now being published on an on-going basis; staffing in the public sector has become more focused; and an increased number of vulnerable Palestinian families in the West Bank are benefitting from consolidated and more efficient social safety nets. These have contributed to a more efficient public financial management system and increased accountability and transparency on the part of the Palestinian Authority achievements that continue to be built upon through the ongoing work of the fund. Results are the same as of the 2010-11 reporting period. CIDA funding was implemented by the World Bank until the Second Quarter of 2011-12. Other donors are contributing to subsequent project phases.
