Despite all the difficulties that Palestine faced during the last year, the NGO Development Center-NDC was able to realize significant achievements both at the grant-making level and capacity-building programs. NDC was able to gain the trust of donor partners and strengthen partnership with them. This is apparent in the UN Women decision to provide a second round of funding to NDC. It was also evident in the new partnership with OCHA for the implementation of two projects in the Gaza Strip.
We also continued our efforts to assist NGOs to better comply with the principles of the Code of Conduct. Through a contract with Save the Children, we provided technical assistance and issued Code of Conduct compliance certificates to a number of NGOs.
