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.

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.

(1) New classrooms built with Al Aqsa funding will enablethe addition of ninth and tenth grades. (2) Naim El-Ashqarvisits his son Khaled in 4th grade. (3) Another improvement:clean drinking water.

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.

Living conditions in the sandy depression around the pumping station have tended to reflect the poor public health

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.

Between the old and the new school buildings, the schoolyard erupts at morning break.

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

Boys of the Jayyous Boys' Primary School, in the background, are framed in the

The classrooms of the existing school are smaller, some almost 60 years old.

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

Beside one of Ain Senia's internal roads, bookseller Yusuf Nassar helps build a stonewall as part of Al Aqsa funded village improvements.

'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

In Surda, the small primary school will see its playground asphalted with savings from the municipality's new services building.

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

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
