Finance For Jobs (F4J): Investment in the Economy and Human Capital 

F4J is a project for the benefit of the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MOPIC) funded by the World Bank and implemented by the DAI. The project is a public finance mechanism aiming to bolster the Palestinian economy by incentivizing private capital mobilization and job creation in the West Bank and Gaza.  

F4J’s Objectives

• Stimulate private capital mobilization by fostering private sector investments.
• Job creation opportunities in the West Bank and Gaza.

F4J’s Financing Instruments 

The project adopts two innovative financing instruments to encourage new investments and qualify youth graduates to enter the labor market: Investment Co-Financing Facility (ICF) and Development Impact Bond (DIB). 

F4J’s Target Groups:

• Private sector new investments that cannot proceed without public finance support, due to market and institutional failures, in the fields of industry, agriculture, food processing, clean energy, tourism, and high-value-added businesses.
• Palestinian unemployed graduates, particularly youth, of whom 30 percent are women.
