The Palestinian NGOs Network has issued this research study, the first of its kind, on the reality of the implementation of the Grand Bargain commitments in Palestine.

The study aims to clarify the concepts of the Grand Bargain in terms of its origins, the revisions made to it, and the reality of implementing its commitments in Palestine. Through this study, PNGO seeks to shed light on the commitments of the signatories to the Grand Bargain and the extent of their fulfilment. It also seeks to identify the challenges facing both NGOs and other stakeholders involved in humanitarian work, enabling a deeper study of these challenges and how to address them, with the aim of fostering an enabling environment for civil society work in Palestine.

The study also sought to explore available opportunities that can be leveraged and built upon to enhance the implementation of the Grand Bargain commitments in Palestine, while identifying the expected requirements of donors and NGOs to achieve this goal.  It aspires to promote the practical application of the Grand Bargain commitments and raise awareness of its principles among Palestinian NGOs and civil society organizations.

PNGO offers this study to humanitarian workers and all interested parties, hoping it will serve as a valuable resource to improve the quality of humanitarian work and the response capacities of local and civil society organizations. PNGO also calls upon all Grand Bargain signatories to fulfil their commitments in order to advance and reinforce the localization of humanitarian response.

This study was issued as part of the "Strategic Partnership II" project, implemented by the Palestinian NGOs Network in partnership with ActionAid Palestine and funded by the Danish government.
