ACTED started its activities in the occupied Palestinian territory in May 2007, through food security interventions in the West Bank and then in Gaza. ACTED is currently implementing projects funded by ECHO, UNOCHA, AFD and DGD, which aim to protect vulnerable households in the West Bank and to strengthen civil society actors across the occupied Palestinian territory.

MA'AN Development Center is an independent Palestinian development organization and training institution established in January 1989.  MA'AN partners with NGOs, CBOs, & Popular Committees in the poorest and most marginalized areas of the occupied Palestinian territory, and aims to enhance people’s steadfastness and self-reliance, empower them to take a lead in developing communities, and to improve their quality of life.  The organization works with 120-150 grassroots organizations on an annual basis while channeling its efforts towards building their capacities in organizational development, human resources, and the operation and development of their administrative, financial and monitoring systems. Ultimately, MA’AN's program development approach is based on five primary methods, including lobbying & advocacy; institutional, organizational and human resource development; service provision; awareness raising; and lastly, networking, coordination, consultation and cooperation.
