USAID'S INVESTMENT IN THE WATER SECTOR WEST BANK GAZA

USAID's work in the water sector over the past twenty years has increased supply and improved management of scarce water resources. Since 2000, USAID has invested more than $300 million on water and wastewater projects in the West Bank and Gaza.

USAID is the principal U.S. government agency that administers the United States’ foreign assistance program in the West Bank and Gaza. The goal of our programs is the achievement of a just and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, while addressing the aspirations of Palestinians for economic opportunity, effective governance, youth development, and humanitarian needs. USAID activities strengthen the accountability of public sector institutions; improve modern education and health approaches; target key infrastructure needs in water, wastewater treatment and sanitation, and road networks; build private sector-led development, investment, and employment growth; and expand the capacity to respond to critical humanitarian assistance needs in Gaza. These efforts help build a more democratic, stable, and secure region benefiting Palestinians, Israelis,
