Context analysis of Palestine specific studies and scoping analysis for new country programme

Description

The Danish Representative Office in Ramallah (DRO) will prepare a new Danish development programme in Palestine for 2027-2031. The West Bank including East Jerusalem faces ongoing social and economic challenges, including restricted movement and limited access to services. Development opportunities are influenced by complex political and security dynamics. The Palestinians in Gaza, are facing enormous humanitarian needs, while Gaza itself has seen unprecedent destruction of infrastructure and livelihoods over the course of the last two years. However, the future setup on both civil governance and security is currently not clear. These contexts shape the environment for Danish cooperation efforts.

The consultants’ analyses will provide essential insights to inform strategic interventions for 2027–2031. The context analysis is required to be comprehensive, focused, and directly aligned with three priority areas that DRO is planning to continue to provide support to: (i) human rights and protection; (ii) economic growth and private sector development; and (iii) public services. To secure this, and to have a thorough understanding of the three priority areas, the overall context analysis will be supplemented and interlinked with three studies – one for each priority area.

The assignment will commence in March 2026 and is expected to be completed in April 2026.
