The Secretary of State has announced a review of the DFID Bilateral Aid Programme. The information on this page reflects current activity and is not an indication of the direction or possible outcome of the review.

DFID has been working directly in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs) for over 16 years.

Our work supports a wider international objective: creation of a viable and independent Palestinian state, so that Palestinians can live in peace alongside a secure Israel.
