<p>In July 2018 the UK committed to provide up to £38 million over five years (2018-2023)
to support economic development in Gaza and the West Bank. Through this programme
we will increase trade and job creation across Gaza and the West Bank by helping to
enable greater movement and access for people and goods. We will also provide support
to facilitate the construction of the Gaza Central Desalination Plant, which will
increase access to clean piped water and help replenish the Gaza aquifer, and in turn
help Gazans access clean water. In addition, this UK aid programme will help to install
solar panels for hospitals, businesses and households, increasing the availability
of electricity in Gaza.</p><p> </p><p>Since July 2018, we have been undertaking routine
design and early-implementation stage activities, such as assessing implementing partners
to ensure they meet DFID’s delivery standards, clarifying and agreeing roles and responsibilities,
and setting out expected outcomes, results and timelines.</p>
