Palestinian NGO's Network “PNGO” issued a study "Opaque and Inaccessible: International Donor Aid Funding to Palestine" which confirmed the difficulty of accessing international funding data for Palestine during the period 2017-2021, in addition to the ambiguity and unavailability of data, as well as the reluctance of a large number of donors and their unwillingness to provide researchers with the necessary data to understand what is being funded in Palestine.

The study’s objectives included compiling how much money donors are spending on OPT foreign aid, noting what type of programming the funding is being directed toward, analysing if that programming matches Palestinian priorities, and assessing to what extent Palestinians are exercising ownership over their funding. The study focused in its analysis on 41 donor actors, either countries or multilateral organisations, that we estimated, based on past donor funding analysis, would represent a vast majority of funding directed to OPT Palestinians in the 2017-2021 period.
