1. INTRODUCTION<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

1. The Bank has played a key role in the West Bank and Gaza (WB&G) from the early 1990s to the present day. 1<\/u>\/ The Palestinian Authority (PA), the Govemment of Israel (GOI) and the donor community have relied extensively on the Bank's analysis, project design and implementation capacity, and convening role. From the initial period of economic recovery and reconstruction through the state-building focus of the late 1990s to current emergency management efforts, the Bank has helped the parties shape their economic responses to an unpredictable, evolving socio-political reality. An active Bank presence remains in high demand. This paper reviews the status of the Trust Fund for Gaza and West Bank (TFGWB) and proposes a Bank assistance strategy for the coming two years. Central to this strategy will be a replenishment of the TFGWB.<\/p><\/div>\n
