The Finance for Jobs (F4J) is a project implemented by DAI on behalf of the Ministry of Finance (MoF) and funded by the World Bank, with the overarching objective of mobilizing private investments and creating employment opportunities in the West Bank and Gaza.
The Public-Private Advisory Body (PPAB) was established to play a unique and important advisory role in F4J II’s overall governance. Although PPAB does not hold decision-making authority, it monitors and provide feedback on progress. In particular, the PPAB acts as a sounding board and critical feedback loop between the MoFP, the PIA, and other stakeholders as the F4J components are designed and piloted. As a result of its role and position within the F4J SOP governance structure, and of discussions generated as a result of its meetings, the PPAB will capture much of the knowledge generated and lessons learned from F4J, a critical aspect of the F4J SOP.
The PPAB is comprised of key PA counterparts from the MOFP, Ministry of National Economy, Ministry of Labor, the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, and the Palestine Capital Markets Authority, together with representatives from the financial and private sector, including the Association of Banks, the Businesswomen’s Forum, the Palestinian Businessman Association, and the Federation of Palestinian Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture. One member from the donor community will also have an observer status.
