\n\t\t\t\tThe Palestinian NGO Project (PNGO) is a major initiative of the World Bank, which began in 1997, when the Welfare Association Consortium (WAC) composed of the Welfare Association (WA) as the lead partner, the British Council and the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) won the World Bank’s competitive tender for the management of the PNGO Project. The consortium formed a management partnership, which oversees the work of the Project Management Organization (PMO). The PMO was the implementation agency for PNGO I and PNGO II and PNGO III.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tThe World Bank has been requested to support a fourth Palestinian NGO Project based on the successes of the first three. Palestinian NGOs still need support and a reliable funding in supplementing their services to vulnerable communities, which the public service delivery system does not adequately reach. NGOs, particularly smaller community-based NGOs, need strengthening, especially in effective planning, managing and monitoring of their service delivery programs.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tPNGO IV will support the development of a credible and sustainable professional agency (the NGO Development Center, NDC) which will effectively provide technical, policy, and funding support to the NGOs service delivery programs in the West Bank and Gaza. NDC will oversee the management of PNGO IV. The PNGO IV project has three main components: NGO Grant Facility, NGO Sector Development, and Institutional Development of NDC.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tTo proceed with the preparation of the project it is necessary to prepare an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) as part of the procurement requirements under the Project. These two environmental reports shall comply with the World Bank policies and procedures. The EIA and EMP provide the following key outputs:\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
