<p>DFID has not reduced its funding to the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) health and
education sectors for financial year 2019/20. While PA salaries have recently been
reduced, our contribution still comprises only a proportion of the PA’s total health
and education sector wage bill. UK aid to the PA’s health and education sectors is
used exclusively to pay the salaries of vetted health and education public servants,
including teachers, doctors and nurses, in the West Bank. The PA’s decision to make
partial salary payments to public sector officials does not affect the robust financial
safeguards that ensure UK financial aid reaches its intended beneficiaries.</p>
