have the correct idea about each other.
"Segregating the sexes creates a barrier," he went on.
"Boys are shy; girls are shy…I remember when I went
to university…It was a shock to be together in classes
with girls."
Interestingly, coeducation seems not to have changed
the other feature for which the mayor says Beit Fajjar is
noted: early marriage. Men in Beit Fajjar, he says, are
married by the age of 20, on average; girls marry
between 16 and 18. "The pattern is historic, it's a
tradition here."
Since the 550 students aged 13-18 at the Beit Fajjar
secondary school constitute a considerable
proportion of the relevant population, the rehabilitation
offered an opportunity to see coeducation at work.
Principal Khalil Abu Akbar first showed off the four new
classrooms and rebuilt laboratory, library and
recreation room, as well as the new toilet blocks under
installation.
The school first opened in 1936, as one room - still in
use as a classroom but now part of a complex of four
schools with a total of 60 classrooms and 2,000
students at all levels. Secondary school numbers had
been swollen, said the principal, by students from
surrounding villages who could not reach their original
schools because of closures.
Former laboratory and library facilities in other
premises had been inadequate and inconvenient, he
said. "The toilets before were so unhealthy they could
hardly be called toilets. And this new recreation room
will help a lot, especially for girls who might not want
to play outside."
A nearby game of volleyball by senior boys amply
testified to the raw energy of youth. Headscarved
senior girls in their long gabardine coats at the other
end of the playground seemed demure by
comparison.
What had been the experience with coeducation?
"Actually we have been coeducational since 1975,"
he said, "so there are no problems; it's the normal
thing now."
A brief look at the rows of
teenagers in a mixed
class showed the girls
neatly arranged in two
rows on one side of the
classroom, the boys in
their rows on the other
side.
If the teenage
awkwardness the mayor
remembered so vividly
was still a factor among
the young classmates, it
was not evident.
Perhaps their self- discipline was due to the imminent
prospect of their becoming part of Beit Fajjar's historic
tradition.
The 550-student secondary school is part of a four school complex in Beit Fajjar; the schoolyard caters to a total of 2,000 students.
The Al Aqsa grant also funded paving
work around the new classrooms.

Reinforcing a Traditionin Beit Fajjar
Beit Fajjar, site of an Al Aqsa Fund school
rehabilitation project, is a town of 10,000 people in
the hills between Bethlehem and Hebron. Beit Fajjar
is noted for two things, according to its Mayor, Salah
Dairy: stone and early marriage.
"We are the stone-cutting capital of the West Bank,"
he said. "Forty quarries, 160 stone-cutting and four
stone-crushing factories…we provide 70 per cent of
the stone for construction in the West Bank. Our
population is 10,000 at night but 12,000 during the
day because of the two thousand workers who come
in from the villages around for jobs in our industry."
But the current crisis, he noted, has seen factory
production drop 70 per cent. Workers had been laid
off and those who still had jobs were working only
three hours a day. Although households could be
connected to electricity supplies, quarries and
factories were denied connection and had to use
diesel generators for their power. With diesel fuel in
short supply, and closures forcing trucks as well as
cars to take roundabout routes to their destinations,
Beit Fajjar was ‘in crisis', he said.
"Our main street was closed for seven or eight
months. I couldn't walk along it. What used to be a
seven-minute drive became two and a half hours.
We have to depend on donors to have even a few
decent projects like this Al Aqsa one. The
municipality tries to fund things but our revenues
have dropped to almost nothing. Neither businesses
nor households have money to pay their bills. We
have been trying for twelve years to get industrial
power to Beit Fajjar without success. We are really in
crisis - I would say facing a merciless economic war -
but we don't know how to reverse things. It is not in
our hands."
The Al Aqsa Fund is contributing $50,000 to
rehabilitate the Beit Fajjar secondary school. The
municipality, notwithstanding its financial situation, is
adding another $20,000.
The school is coeducational which prompted the
mayor to declare he was against segregating the
sexes in schools. "Already, science and commercial
classes at our school are coeducational and we are
going to encourage even more of this," he said.
"When boys and girls each know the other, they will
Co-education is long-established at the Beit Fajjar Secondary School, where Al Aqsa funding is building new classrooms and toilet blocks. This courageous example of
fraternization was provided by a brother and sister from the basic school in the same complex.

and water fees because "people don't have
money…they can't pay." Sair has two stone quarries
and is the center of a grape growing area but these
industries could not begin to absorb the
unemployed.
When the renovation of the school was announced
there was no shortage of applicants for the work.
"We, the municipality, sub-contracted the work and
did some of it by direct implementation," said the
Mayor. "Most sub-contractors got their workers by
word-of-mouth. It doesn't take much to find laborers
these days; in fact there were too many people
applying for jobs. We had to use some rotation to
share the work more equally. For the work itself there
was no problem - among our labor force we have all
the skills."
Sair proper has nine schools, with another two in
adjoining communities. The girls' basic school, with
classes from first to 12th grade, is only a stroll from
the rented municipal offices.
"In the past it was coeducational," said Mayor
Shalaldeh. "And this particular school holds
memories for all of us in the council. Yes, people had
some other ideas - roads, retaining walls,
equipment, a proper municipal building, even the
electricity network that is more than 20 years old
with dangerous wires and generators that can only
run four hours a day because of fuel
shortages…but we gave priority to the school
because we believe in schools."
There was a murmur of assent among his fellow
councilors when he noted that most of the
municipal budget is devoted to education. "The
human resource is more valuable," the Mayor
added. "Everything comes from learning. If you
build the child, he will build the streets, the
municipal building…He - and she - will build the
future."
The size of the stones and the depth of the earth platform show the extent of the construction effort involved in the Al Aqsa Fund renovation of the school.
Light through the deep-set windows reveals the charm of the original architecture.Restored and repainted, the old classrooms have the thick stone walls and highceilings of an earlier age, conveying a sense of history as well as functionality.

The Past Servingthe Future
When the municipal councilors of the West Bank
village of Sair debated their priorities there were
several candidates for the use of the $100,000 of Al
Aqsa Fund financing: a new municipal services
building in place of inadequate rented
accommodation, internal roads, a much-needed
mechanical excavator…
But finally there was no gainsaying the sentimental
favorite: restoring the town's first school where most
members of the municipal council had received
their early education.
The old school was six now-disused classrooms on
the grounds of the girls' basic school - a school so
short of space that its 600 students were alternating
through two shifts.
For Mayor Fahmi Shalaldeh, the final choice was
clear. "I went here as a boy, and later was a teacher
here," he said outside the graceful old school block,
first built in British Mandate days in 1935.
Now the local stone facing of the single storey
building with traditional cupola ceilings has been
sandblasted back to its original pristine state, and
the formerly leaking roof has been newly sealed and
restored. The freshly painted rooms were lit by high
windows and new fluorescent bars.
"Here was the headmaster's office, and here the
room for teachers," Mayor Shalaldeh remembered,
opening the deep wall cupboards where student files
and exam papers had once been kept. "All this was a
mess; now it is fixed. The school is back in
business."
Outside schoolgirls milled around the visitors. "They
are absolutely delighted with the new classrooms,"
said a young teacher. "Apart from anything else, it
means the end of the double shift at this school."
"Going to one shift again is a major
accomplishment," said Mayor Shalaldeh. "Girls going
home late at 5pm was a problem, a dislocation of
family life because they are needed to help out at
home. To share this burden we had to rotate the girls
- two months morning shift, two months afternoon.
Also with two shifts, lessons have to be shortened.
The two-shift system is not optimal."
Sair, a town of 18,000 people in the Hebron district,
has suffered along with the rest of the Palestinian
territories durning recent months. Half its labor force,
a thousand workers, used to work in Israel and have
been idled by closures. The Mayor said the
municipality had been unable to collect electricity
The pupils of Sair's Basic School for Girls are delighted by the renovation of the original classrooms, now more than 65 years old.

The $60,000 Al Aqsa contribution, which also paid
for a toilet block and drinking water tanks, meant
the school's eight grades could now be spread over
more rooms, bringing class sizes down from 40 to
under 20. Indeed there are now plans to add ninth
and tenth grades in the next two years.
Jumar Yusuf Mohammed, head of the village
council of Mdawwar, for example, has three children
in the school. It was he who mustered the team to
carry the rocks and to build the playground wall. He
also managed a separate Al Aqsa road-paving
project linking Mdawwar with El-Ashqar and a
neighboring village, I'zbet Salman, a kilometer
south.
Khamis Mohammed El-Ashqar, 29, took charge of
the school construction work. "Instead of people
coming from Nablus or Bethlehem, we put 35 of our
own workers on the 'skeleton', divided between all
the worker households in the village, he said.
"This was one and a half months' work where
before there was no work at all. Work opportunities
were created for more than a hundred people in our
two villages. It was, if limited, at least something -
something badly needed. Most of us here are
below the poverty line. Everything we had saved is
finished now."
Explained Naim: "This is an area famous for its
greenhouses. We grow cucumbers, tomatoes,
beans…but for the past year prices have been
disastrous. A box of cucumbers now might fetch
NIS 10 (approx. US$ 2.50), compared to NIS 30 in
the past. A box of tomatoes at the moment is
getting NIS 25. That's good compared to the past
two or three months. But a year ago it used to be
over NIS 40."
All over the West Bank and Gaza, the lament is
familiar. But now the children of these two villages
have somewhere to play. And money has gone into
the local economy where it multiplies benefits. Most
of all, the good it does is immediate - which is what
is needed.

Room to Move In aTwo-Village School
From its steep hillside perch down the small valley
dotted with greenhouses to the tiny West Bank
village of Mdawwar. The total population of El-
Ashqar and Mdawwar villages served by the school
is about a thousand.
Yet, together with the Al Aqsa fund, the two villages
put more than a hundred men to work on building
five new classrooms and a level surface for the
school's 115 students to play on.
A new floor of classrooms is an undertaking of
some magnitude for two small villages.
As even a cursory inspection shows, a hillside
playground is no light task either. First, teams at
I'zbet El-Ashqar had to drag in mighty foundation
stones, many weighing close to a ton, to build a
massive retaining wall. These stones needed to be
brought in from quarries elsewhere in the West
Bank because local stone is too prone to crumbling
to adequately support the new platform.
Then each stone had to be carefully positioned and
inter-linked with others to resist the force of the
rocks and stone fill material behind. Concrete was
poured to level and cap the platform and to provide
a firm footing for a smooth surface of sand and
gravel. Finally concrete walls were installed, soon to
be topped with tall wire mesh. (Without the wire a
football over the side can take a ten-minute downhill
scramble to recover!)
Said Naim El-Ashqar, a village councilor and
financial director of the project: "You should have
seen the area before…without walls, without level
ground…The danger of falling was great and ball
games were impossible. Now the students can
play, enjoy themselves, in safety; for them and their
parents, it is a much better situation."
Children I'zbet El-Ashqar school perch atop the massive stone blocks and concrete wall that have made their playground, where a game of football can now be played in
relative safety (soon to be improved by the addition of wire-mesh fencing).

Expanding the Hospital
The scale of health problems in this part of Gaza is
evident at Al Awda, the only hospital for the area's
165,000 people. Al Awda treats some 5,000
outpatients every month, a burden that overloads
facilities for more serious medical cases and longer-
term care. "People come here even from Gaza City,"
a nurse said wonderingly. Although Gaza City is
perhaps five miles away, even small distances can
seem a major journey in the tight confines of the
Gaza Strip.
Through the Union of Health Work Committees, the
Al Aqsa Fund is providing $60,000 towards a new
two-storey building to handle the flood of
outpatients and allow more space in the existing
hospital for surgical operations and treatment of
chronic illnesses.
"Having so many outpatients can get in the way of
more serious medical cases," said Dr. Abu Saffia.
"Crowding is so great that some patients not in
immediate danger are pushed out before their full
treatment is completed because we just don't have
enough space."
During a visit, the administrator was gazing gloomily
at an idled work site. Construction of the new
building was temporarily stalled by an interruption in
the supply of cement. "It is possible to get building
supplies and materials despite this situation," he
said.
His resolve stiffened. "Once I do have another
building, the outpatients will be in it," he said
emphatically.

arrangements that have prevailed for decades in the neighborhood.

Pumping the Way toBetter Health
Ten thousand residents of Beit Lahia, Beit Hanoun
and Jabalia in the north of Gaza can look forward to
a dramatically improved standard of living as a
result of the new Al Hatabia sewage pumping
station. The pumping station, started with $120,000
from Japan, is being completed with $105,000 from
the Al Aqsa Fund.
The Al Hatabia installation will pump up to 225
cubic meters an hour of sewage away from the
area, which for two decades has suffered the health
consequences of discharging sewage in sandy soil
through septic tanks and sewage wells. Sadly,
these tanks sit atop some of the highest quality
water in the coastal aquifer on which the Gaza Strip
depends most heavily.
Inevitably, pollution of local ground water, notably
nitrate levels, has steadily increased. The El Awda
hospital in Jabalia reports many cases of amoebic
dysentery, stomach worms and kidney ailments
from the village located beside the septic tanks.
"The kidney problems result from the high rate of
nitrate pollution," said hospital administrator Dr.
Jaber Abu Saffia.
With completion of the pumping station, two pumps
will push sewage under pressure through a one-
kilometer line to the Jabalia primary treatment
center constructed by PAPP in 1996/97; it also
serves Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun.

per cent of the overall spending is directly for salaries.
"Even materials for the basic construction have
been bought locally - cement, aluminum window
frames etc. So more than 90 per cent of the Al Aqsa
money is spent in the community - all the benefits
go to the village.
"When we finish the ground floor we will have two
new classrooms, plus four toilets and a
multipurpose room. We need another $20,000 to
complete the upper floor. But with the four rooms in
the old building, average class-size will go down
from almost 50 to a little more than 30. And the new
classrooms will be the standard 50 square meters
required by the Ministry of Education, with big
windows on both sides, not the dark, cramped
space we have in the old classrooms."
The contractor for the building's framework isTaufiq
Saleem, 54. He has just returned from two months
spent recuperating from a fall on site in which he
broke five ribs. He had no insurance.
He shared the mayor's assessment of the economic
situation. "It is very bad now. There are no jobs at
all, and little money. I used to work in Israel as a
contractor but for a year I had no work until this
project. I have a team of five or six workers, all from
Jayyous, all with families, many with sons at this
school. I went to school here too, and my boys - I
still have a seventeen year old in the secondary
school next door."
Of the school's nine teachers, six are 'halves' -
working only on alternate days - another sign of
efforts to spread available work wherever possible.
When the opportunity presents itself, Jayyous
makes the most of things.

Jayyous Makes theMost of Things
The West Bank village of Jayyous looks like a place
you'd choose to live. Curving streets overhung with
climbing plants and flowers, trees around every
corner, a feeling of being cared for.
One half of the ground floor room that houses the
current municipal office has been divided off by a
thin wall that does not reach all the way to the ceiling.
On one side is the office of Mayor Fayez Hassan
Saleem and the Village Council chamber, with
enough room only for his desk and a couple of end-
to-end tables for council meetings. Over the partition
wall comes the wail of a baby wanting its food…This
is a clearly a multi-purpose space.
Charming as this homely situation may seem,
Jayyous is nevertheless home to some 3,000 people
in 376 households and a municipal building more
befitting its size is nearing completion.
(As in any West Bank village, asking the number of
'families' living in Jayyous produces a different, much
smaller, number: eight. Here 'family' means 'clan'.)
Jayyous has received Al Aqsa Fund support of
$60,000 to add four new classrooms and a hall to its
boys' elementary school. Mayor Saleem, an alumnus
naturally, is happy to give a guided tour of his alma
mater.
From the roof of the new two-storey building the
Mediterranean coast is on the horizon and closer to
hand, Jayyous' new municipal offices, across an
intervening playground is the main school building,
built in 1942. It is morning break and the school's 205
boisterous boys rampage around the yard.
"Now the situation is very bad," says Mayor Saleem
above the hubbub. "Nowhere is there any economic
activity. Most people cannot pay their bills for
electricity from Israel. We hired a generator - costing
NIS 10,000 a month (approx. US$ 2,500). When it
broke down we were without light for three weeks.
"In this situation, we were very glad of such a good
project. We are implementing directly here because
we have our own engineer and - for the actual
construction - our own foreman who is on-site the
whole time.
"Direct implementation enables us to choose
contractors or to do the work ourselves. All the labor is
hired from the village, more than 60 workers. About 40

track to a surfaced road that takes vehicles quickly
to the lands along its course.
Building a dry-stone wall beside fields of cabbages
and tomatoes was merchant Yusuf Nassar, 50, who
came home to Ain Senia just before the current
crisis. (He is Younus' elder brother.) With two sons
still in university, he was happy to be earning money
from the work in Ain Senia generated by the Al Aqsa
Fund projects. "My business is selling books," he
said. "I have a bookshop at the airport in Jordan
and came back to open another shop here. But the
situation prevented that, so I am doing what I can."
Outside the village school a culvert channels
seasonal rains, allowing winter access across the
flooded gully. And several bus shelters have been
erected to make life easier for customers of the
public transport system. The Al Aqsa Fund
contribution to employment generation in Ain Senia
totals some $40,000.
But Mayor Qasqas, like any civic leader, is
interested in more. "I have been mayor since 1972
but I'm not tired because I like to do things for my
people," he said, ticking off the development
milestones - electricity, telephone service. "The Al
Aqsa projects are all the more welcome because
this is such a difficult time. Even getting in the
materials and equipment for these projects has
been made harder by the closures."
He pointed to another of the surrounding hills on
which a heavy vehicle could just be seen grinding
its way along a road to the summit, some 400 ft.
above the village. "When we can't take the main
roads, everything has to take that road - and it has
a one-in-three gradient. By that route, a trip that
might take an hour or two normally could take most
of a day. Sometimes even that road is closed and
we can lose days or weeks. We never know what is
going to come."
Like their tenacious olive trees, the people of
villages like Ain Senia have learned to be resilient.
Ain Senia mayor Zakaria Qasqas inspects the olive trees on the hill known as Al Qatar above the village in the valley below. A new road has opened the hillside to
homebuilders short of space in the center of the village.

Encouraging 'RuralSprawl' in Ain Senia
The hill known as Al Qatah rising from the village of
Ain Senia (population: 650) in the central West Bank
now has an asphalted road snaking up from the
valley floor through the fields and olive groves that
occupy its slopes. That road, built with money from
the Al Aqsa Fund, is helping sprout a new crop of
houses on the hill.
“Fifteen families already are taking advantage of the
access provided by the road to build houses on the
hillside,” says Ain Senia Mayor Zakaria Qasqas,
explaining that “because most of the land in the
village belongs to a single family, little space is
available” to expand existing houses in the village
center. "So we are encouraging people to spread
the building of houses outside the existing area of
the village, and to bring land further away under
cultivation."
Halfway up Al Qatar hill, excavators have already
cut a foundation into the steep slope for the new
family home of Younus Nassar, 49. "This will give us
more space, and I will be close to my fields down
the hill," Nassar explained. "Before, access was
difficult even for a tractor. The road makes
everything easier."
Agriculture is difficult enough as it is. Excavation for
the house foundation shows a mere 10-15
centimeters of soil at this point in the Al Qatah slope
before the underlying rock is reached. Yet olive
trees manage to survive even further uphill. "It takes
20 years to get olive trees to commercial production
but they can live hundreds, even thousands, of
years," observed site engineer Nazeeh Mousa,
"because the olive tree can renew itself. When it
gets too big, you can cut the old branches and get
new ones taking their place. In fact really old olive
trees are called 'Roman trees' because of their
antiquity."
Outside the village center in the valley, another
internal road leads past vegetable fields to open up
new areas for housing development. The width of
the road has been quadrupled from a narrow dirt

'clusters' of project villages. They bring to their work
not only a fund of local knowledge as well as
technical skills but also an unusual level of
commitment and determination.
Close support by engineers like Nazeeh helps
communities extract maximum benefit from Al Aqsa
funds. In the village of Surda, for example,
economies in the construction of a $50,000
municipal services and kindergarten building freed
$10,000 - enough money for the asphalting of 138
square meters of playground for an adjacent
school.
Driving through a succession of villages in the Bani
Zaid valley, Nazeeh reflected on how roads had
changed life in the West Bank, even in his lifetime.
"Before, life wasn't so complicated," he said. "People
went to the city only to sell olive oil and buy clothes.
I remember that thirty years ago our whole village
built the road to Beit Rima, with their own hands
and donated materials. The only machine we had
was a roller-compactor."
There are other changes too. His wife Nura, 30, is
back at school - an Open University course that will
equip her to become an elementary teacher and for
which she goes once a week to Salfeet.
A wife in university is something perhaps that not
too many of his former classmates-become-
grandparents are able to claim!
Another stop on Nazeeh's rounds is Beit Rima where an Al Aqsa project is buildingan emergency services building.

The somewhat tired-looking family car turned off the
highway whisking traffic through the hills around
Ramallah and joined other vehicles bouncing along
a worn and rutted track. At the wheel, engineer
Nazeeh Mousa detoured occasionally through low
scrub to avoid blockages. "You can hear the 'voice'
of my exhaust," he joked. "That's from outings like
these."
In this part of the West Bank, 'outings' - over dirt
tracks and round-about routes, down slopes and
through rock-strewn brush - are a regular part of a
site engineer's efforts to reach the seven villages in
his 1350 square kilometer project territory. Even
among his fellow site-engineers, however, Nazeeh's
exploits have acquired a particular distinction.
"To reach some villages," Nazeeh said
philosophically, "I have to stop, leave the car, walk
through a checkpoint and take a donkey cart. Or
walk a kilometer. Or take 10 kilometers of steep dirt
road that requires an extra hour's travel. But that is
the one and only way for ordinary people".
"Sometimes I make it all the way to, say, Bir Zeit,
only to be turned back at the checkpoint.
Stoppages like this - checkpoints through which we
cannot take our cars, or barriers to all traffic - can
appear overnight. Within an hour or so, the minivan
taxis will be lining up on either side of the barrier to
take people on...even though nobody knows when
such changes are going to happen."
He grinned. "Every day is a new adventure!"
Notwithstanding long experience as an engineer,
Nazeeh has a relatively young family of three sons
and a daughter, the eldest in fifth grade. "I married
late because after studying civil engineering in
Saudi Arabia I stayed and worked there before I
came back to my village, Karawah Bani Zaid, to get
married." He smiled. "Some of my classmates are
now grandfathers - and I still have a young family to
raise!"
Given that the objectives of the UNDP/PAPP
projects financed by the Al Aqsa fund include
targeting circumstances of particular need,
Nazeeh's young family constituted an extra
consideration, on top of his very considerable
professional qualifications, when he applied to
become a site engineer for the villages around
Ramallah.
All the engineers selected were unemployed heads
of household living within day-to-day reach of

Islamic Development Bank, which manages the Al
Aqsa Fund, has been very supportive, responding
quickly to the need for effective implementation.
"And all this is in real partnership with local and
municipal councils, plus the Ministry of Local
Government and other ministries. We assess local
technical and financial control capacity based on our
previous experience and the staffing strength of the
village or municipal council, working in different ways
to enhance that capacity and improve sustainability.
"PAPP has offered initial training for local councils
and provides support and supervision wherever
needed, technically and in financial areas. To assure
transparency and accountability, we take
responsibility for supervising and scrutinizing all
accounts.
"We hope the experience of these projects will help
local bodies to better undertake such work on their
own in the future," said the PAPP manager. "This will
also help the ministries who work with them.
"Given the need to keep things moving in this
emergency situation, we emphasize flexibility. There
are rules and regulations for such things as
tendering, for example - normally five offers are
required. But if, because of the circumstances, five
qualified companies are not available locally, and the
process is fair and proper, we can accept three or
four offers.
"And if certain projects need additional funding, we
have been encouraging local communities to
contribute in cash or in kind - stone, or cement…
whatever the community can contribute to do more
with the project funds."
According to the level of local capacity, PAPP uses
one of three implementation mechanisms. Direct
implementation allows the council or municipality to
hire the labor itself; this requires using their own
management capacity but can ensure greater
control of spending. The other mechanisms are
straight contracting of the work, or a combination of
contracting and direct implementation.
According to the PAPP manager, "this flexibility has
been quite successful because local bodies have to
decide how much they can do themselves, and
what more they might need to do.
"Of course PAPP's monitoring role is helped
enormously by its substantial logistical capacity.
How could you monitor so many projects in such a
short time if you were unable to move through the
many checkpoints and blockages?
"And we have been able to use internal UN
mechanisms to employ our site engineers on
contracts with good conditions of service and a
reasonable wage, somewhat more affordably than
the price such experienced people could
command in normal market conditions. And they
have proved a very committed group. They have to
do all sorts of things to get to project sites - drive on
tracks through scrubland, down steep slopes, over
stones and I don't know what, all in their own
vehicles. They do a remarkable job."

$7 Million Funds 100,000Workdays in 100 Villages
In a hundred towns, villages and neighborhoods all
over the West Bank and Gaza, a $7 million
programme financed from the Al Aqsa Fund has
generated more than 100,000 workdays in six
months. When all projects are completed in early
2002, the figure is expected to top 108,000.
The Al-Aqsa Fund, managed by the Islamic
Development Bank, is one of the largest supporters
of emergency employment generation for the
Palestinian people. The $7 million channeled
through the United Nations Development
Programme/Programme of Assistance to the
Palestinian People (UNDP/PAPP) forms part of
PAPP's emergency response to the continuing
economic and political crisis in the occupied
Palestinian territory.
The Al-Aqsa Fund, and indeed UNDP/PAPP's
Emergency Response Programme itself, aims to
create jobs for Palestinian workers left unemployed
by the internal and external closures imposed on
the West Bank and Gaza - while at the same time
upgrading essential education, health and
municipal facilities.
FFFFFor example:or example:or example:or example:or example:
• Sixty-seven schools are getting new classrooms,
plus rehabilitation and maintenance - painting
and plastering; tiling; paving of yards. The fund is
building: staircases, boundary walls, meeting
halls, toilet blocks, sheds, computer labs and
staff rooms; water proofing roofs; fitting windows;
and installing water fountains and safety railings.
A number of kindergartens also are being built or
improved.
• Thirteen roads - between and within communities -
are being paved or maintained. Retaining walls
have been built or sidewalks tiled in some places.
• Municipal service centers and youth centers are
being built or extended.
• Eleven hospitals, clinics and health centers are
being constructed or enlarged - and in Gaza the
salaries of medical staff have been paid.
• Connections to electricity networks are being
extended in the West Bank, and sewage pipelines
and pumping stations are being installed or
upgraded in Gaza, particularly in refugee camps.
Funds allocated to communities generally range
between $25,000 and $100,000, according to
population size, poverty indicators and the need to
distribute benefits fairly across governorates.
Priorities, in accordance with needs assessments
and development plans, are identified - and project
components designed - with municipal and village
councils, and with line ministries. The emphasis has
been on labor-intensive projects.
The emergency has entailed a number of UNDP/
PAPP managerial innovations. Projects have been
clustered according to site accessibility rather than
by geographical district. This enables ten locally-
recruited site engineers to supervise and support
implementation even where closures or restrictions
make travel beyond their own localities impossible
or impracticable.
A PAPP manager described the arrangements.
"Usually, in our regular projects, you'd find one
manager and one engineer in charge. But for the
more numerous and widely-dispersed Al Aqsa
projects we have distributed management
responsibility among all our officers as well as the
site engineers. The whole programme is totally
decentralized. It has been divided up into smaller
pieces so one person in our offices in Jerusalem
and Gaza, and one site engineer can manage each.
This has enabled us to implement promptly and
effectively.
"Because of the speed of implementation, PAPP's
management has had to concentrate on
coordination with other implementing agencies -
such as the World Bank and PECDAR - to avoid
overlapping and the possibility of dual funding. The

training to help them become wage-earners again.
The fund covered education costs for children of
those killed in clashes through university, until the
age of 25 or - for girls - until marriage. It also helps
support those disabled and the families of
'administrative detainees'.
IDB oversight for the two funds was provided by a
nine-member Administrative Committee, Mr.
Kudwah noted. The committee reviewed progress
every two or three months, with an IDB Higher
Council providing advice in case of need. The IDB's
professional staff provided technical oversight.
The PA committee had made health the top priority,
Mr. Kudwah said, followed by education, social
concerns and compensation, agriculture and
necessary infrastructural improvement such as road
building, and the restitution of services such as
electricity and water supply.
Mr. Kudwah ticked off other initiatives: $6.6 million
for the building of silos to house strategic reserves
of basic commodities such as wheat; $10 million for
small projects through the Palestinian Banking
Corporation; $35 million to keep the Ministry of
Health functioning - in addition to medicines and
equipment (including ambulances still at the border
awaiting permission to enter, he said); $14 million
to plant 400,000 trees and build water reservoirs, as
well as for land reclamation; $21.7 million to build
14 new schools, repair a further 28 and furnish
another 29; $8 million for support to Jerusalem
hospitals and $2.46 million for support to the
facilities of non-governmental organizations.
Another $3 million from the IDB and the emergency
funds was being provided to help university
students at risk of having to give up their studies.
To boost the sales and marketing of Palestinian
products abroad, the Committee had allocated $15
million. Already, Mr. Kudwah noted, 40 Palestinian
companies had participated in an exhibition in
Algiers under this dimension of the programme.
In addition, money had been channeled to projects
initiated by PAPP worth a total of $7 million, and
others to be undertaken by the World Bank worth a
similar amount. The Palestinian Economic
Commission for Development and Reconstruction
(PECDAR) had received $6 million, the UN Relief
and Works Agency (UNRWA) was getting $5 million
and $1.2 million was earmarked for the poor in Wadi
Gaza.
A further $5 million had recently been approved to
buy supplies for the Ministry of Health, Mr. Kudwah
added. "Without this help, the Ministry would have
collapsed. Health insurance revenue now is zero."
He sat back. "The normal business of the IDB is to
extend services and finance for trade and projects -
almost free at costs of maybe two or three per cent.
It is a professional institution and we Palestinians
have been at the bottom of the list of contributors
so we have not had much a share of this work for
most of the 26 years it has been in business.
"Now the support in the current crisis of the IDB's
governing board has meant employment for many
of our workers, money that has helped keep
ministries working and funds to improve and extend
health, education and social services. It has been
absolutely crucial."

Overseeing the Al AqsaFund: Jarar N. Kudwah
Few people are better placed to provide an
authoritative overview of the Palestinian relationship
with the Islamic Development Bank (IDB) than
Auditor General Jarar N. Kudwah, who represents
the Palestinian Authority (PA) on the IDB Board and
oversees the large programme of Arab world
emergency assistance to the Palestinian people. Of
the $1 billion proposed by the Saudi Arabian Crown
Prince for such assistance at the Arab Summit in
November 2000, some $645 million has so far been
subscribed.
This money, provided through two funds
established for the purpose - the Al Aqsa and the
Jerusalem funds - is managed by the IDB.
Mr. Kudwah, head of the PA's General Control
Institute (GCI), presides over the direction of this
effort from his spacious GCI office in Gaza. He
chairs a committee of PA officials and technical staff
that identifies priorities for this assistance and also
directs a task force of some 30 GCI staff monitoring
implementation of every project approved.
Meticulous and precise, Mr. Kudwah made no
secret of his satisfaction with the recent Palestinian
report to the IDB on the use of this assistance - "the
most comprehensive report on implementation ever
undertaken here," as he said. "Three thousand
pages - all put together by our staff, who do this
work in addition to their regular duties. To complete
it in time to meet the deadline, they stayed in the
office for three days around the clock."
The situation for the PA over the past year had
become dire, Mr. Kudwah noted. The withholding of
tax revenues now amounting to hundreds of
millions of dollars, the idling of 360,000 Palestinian
laborers, loss of business income and consequent
inability to pay taxes and health insurance
premiums, had beggared PA offices.
"Our revenues went down 80 per cent; we didn't
have money to pay salaries," he said. "Some
ministries did not have paper to write on. Or fuel for
vehicles. Unless fuel can be paid for at the end of
the month, supplies stop."
Only loans totaling more than $400 million from the
Arab world had so far staved off disaster, he said.
Since December 2000, the first two initiatives under
two IDB-managed emergency assistance
programmes, the Jerusalem and Al Aqsa funds,
had supported the families of Palestinians killed,
disabled or detained in the ongoing civil
disturbances.
Families of the bereaved received a monthly
payment and the disabled were given treatment or
