In 2017, the Palestinian Authority, led by the Ministry of Finance, launched the Finance for Jobs (F4J) Series of Projects (SOP), supported by the World Bank and executed through a dedicated Project Implementing Agency (PIA). The series has been instrumental in driving private investments and fostering employment in the West Bank and Gaza. The latest in this initiative, the Finance for Jobs III (F4J III) project, is designed to build on the successes of its predecessors. It aims to expand the innovative financial instruments previously introduced, with a keen focus on incentivizing private investment and job creation. F4J III has a Project Development Objective (PDO) of: “to sustain and expand the scope of the innovative financial instruments tested under F4J I & II, to incentivize private investment mobilization and job creation”.
