WASHINGTON DC, April 12, 2008<\/strong>– The World Bank yesterday signed a Grant Agreement with the Palestinian Authority for the Palestinian Reform and Development Plan multi-donor budget support Trust Fund (PRDP-TF).  This agreement reflects the Bank’s support for the Palestinian people, who are weathering adverse circumstances.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The signing took place following<\/span> <\/span>discussions at the World Bank Headquarters between the World Bank Managing Director Juan Jose Daboub and Palestinian Minister of Planning H.E. Mr. Samir Abdallah.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

The PRDP-TF is part of the overall donor effort to alleviate the Palestinian fiscal crisis and to support implementation of the Palestinian Reform and Development Plan which was presented on December 17, 2007.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

\n

The Government of Norway and the UK Department for International Development (DFID) contributed the currently available PRDP-TF funds totaling $83.8 million.  These funds will be disbursed to the Palestinian Authority by end of April 2008.  Additional contributions to the fund have been pledged and further disbursements are planned for later this year.<\/p><\/div>\n
