| Summary: | This poverty diagnostic documents
changes in welfare and living standards in the West Bank and
Gaza over the period 2011 to 2017. Since the last poverty
assessment for these territories, in 2011, the economic
constraints facing them have worsened. The 2011 poverty
assessment covered the period from 2004 to 2009, spanning
the end of the second Intifada, as well as the 2007 internal
divide in Gaza. The current diagnostic draws on the 2011 and
2017 Palestinian expenditure and consumption surveys (PECS)
to assess key welfare trends and highlight areas for further
investigation. The principal goal of this is to be timely
and actionable, given the worsening outlook in the
territories and the urgency of an effective response. |
