Published purpose

Under the Office of the Quartet (OQ) 2021-23 Strategy, the OQ ultimately seeks to maintain and build dialogue between the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Government of Israel to increase Palestinian economic and institutional development and empowerment. To achieve this, each sector has a dedicated outcome with supporting short and medium-term activities to reach these goals, including: • The Palestinian energy sector is affordable, secure and sustainable; • The Palestinian water sector is affordable, secure and sustainable; • Palestinian mobile communications and backhaul networks are upgraded • Justice and security is delivered more effectively and based on democratic principles; and • The fiscal and financial stability of the Palestinian Authority (PA) is enhanced. Over the lifecycle of the project, Canada will support the OQ to develop an interim strategy as well as a longer-term 2024-2026 Strategy, which is anticipated to have similar structure and targets. Given the unique nature of the project, the targets cannot be quantified in numbers. Conversely, the achievement of change will be measure through productive engagement with stakeholders on the various files within the five sectors. Regarding sustainability, the OQ’s role to provide policy and facilitation support to the PA will help ensure that sustainability is built into the necessary files and policy reforms for a strong, stable, PA.
