The Portland Trust is committed to promoting peace and stability between Palestinians and Israelis through economic development.

Gaza Private Sector Rapid Recovery

The Portland Trust is developing a programme for donors and investors to support the recovery of the private sector in the Gaza Strip. Two scenarios are being considered - viable projects that could be started under the current conditions
and a longer term recovery plan that can be put in place when conditions allow. The recovery programme will set out a clear strategy on the level and type of investment required in those sectors found to have potential. It will also recommend financing options and mechanisms to get the private sector back on its feet. The Portland Trust signed a contract with a local Gaza based consultant to manage the project on the Trust’s behalf, coordinating with Palestinian Federation of Industries (PFI) and the Palestine Agricultural Relief Committee (PARC).
