This EU-OECD project seeks to support the Palestinian Authority (PA) in achieving a more effective, transparent and participatory policy- and law-making process and thus enhance Palestinian citizens’ and businesses’ trust in their government’s action. More specifically, the project will aim at enhancing the capacity of law and policy-makers to:

• Produce clear, effective and transparent primary and secondary legislation;
• Use efficient public consultation mechanisms as part of the policy development process; and
• Develop (and improve) online tools providing access to adopted and draft legislation.

The project’s objective is in line with the Palestinian National Development Plan (NDP) 2021-2023, which puts an emphasis on achieving national unity, effective government, and social justice and the rule of law. Additionally, the objective is aligned with the European Union’s policy of supporting the Palestinian Authority to ensure a public sector that enjoys a reputation of integrity, performance and responsiveness through the cost-effective delivery of quality public services.

The project draws on OECD’s technical expertise and international tools and standards developed by OECD public governance experts and the regional network and knowledge of the MENA-OECD Governance Programme.
