PROJECT 

We are looking for a snapshot of the conditions of four vulnerable groups in Palestine to enhance livelihood opportunities for Palestinians and provide social protection for those in need.. The idea would be to look at the whole picture but also to disaggregate by area, i.e. West Bank and Gaza. We want to see if there are any meaningful patterns we are not seeing right away.

The selected visualization will be featured in the UN Development Group's silofighters blog: https://undg.org/silofighters/

 

AUDIENCE

Development practitioners including other UN Country Teams

 

DATA

The link below takes you to a folder called DOCO_DATA. In it is one excel file with four worksheets, one for each group. There is also a word file with the survey questionnaires for the four groups. The survey questionnaires provide details on each variable. 

The last column of each excel worksheet indicates whether the location is in Gaza or West Bank.
