genuine

endeavor, rooted in the demand of the Palestinian public and its appeal for
development and progress at all levels.

Development is divided into five chapters and includes a number of statistical
appendices. Chapter One provides an overview of the conceptual and
methodological framework of the Report. Chapter Two presents data on the state
of human development in
Palestine.
Chapters. Three to Five discuss the role of the PNA, of economic factors and
of civil society’s institutions in impacting human development in the West
