Following up on Donors’ Pledges The Cairo Conference (October 2014) to support the Recovery and Reconstruction efforts in Gaza, resulted in raising USD 5.1 Billion. The latest update of the Cairo conference pledges, carried out by the World Bank, in cooperation with the National Office for the reconstruction of Gaza (NORG), reveal that: Total amount that has been paid reached USD 1,851 million, representing 36.5% of the total pledges at the Cairo conference. Total funds received in the first half of 2017 (30/06/2017) were USD 55 million, supporting programs in various sectors such as: humanitarian aid, UNRWA budget support, Government budget support, housing and infrastructure. Only USD 38 million (out of the USD 55 million) were earmarked for Gaza Recovery and Reconstruction program . As a result of the delays that have been encountered in 2017 and the slow-down in funding of pledges made at the Cairo Conference for Gaza Reconstruction, many planned interventions have been postponed and delayed. This will lead to a decline in improving the economy and the return of life to normal in the southern provinces.
