This Implementation Report 2022-2023 is the second progress report for the ‘European Joint Strategy (EJS) in Support to Palestine 2021-2024’. The EJS, endorsed by European Development Partners (EDPs), provides a framework for the development cooperation partnership between the Europeans and the Palestinian Authority (PA). The European Development Partners are the biggest provider of external assistance to the Palestinians, which amounts to approximately EUR 3 billion for 2021-2024.

The report was written during a time of acute humanitarian crisis and political instability resulting from the war in Gaza since October 2023. It greatly affected European development cooperation in Palestine, however, the report takes stock of the European coordinated support and reviews the impact of the war at sector level.
