موظف برنامج Program Officer

The Palestinian Liberation Organization has received a grant from the International Development Association (IDA) for USD 20 million for the benefit of the Palestinian Authority (PA) to finance the Digital West Bank & Gaza Project (the Project). The Project will seek to produce concrete and tangible results for the Palestinians by enhancing access to high-speed broadband services and increasing access to selected e-services for citizens and businesses. The Project will focus on key points to unleash digital transformation in the Palestinian territories, addressing some of the bilateral challenges that prevent digital transformation from achieving its full potential. It will strengthen the Palestinian territories' digital resilience and the PA's ability to respond to shocks such as COVID-19.

The project is being implemented and overseen by the Ministry of Telecom and IT (MTIT); currently, the Ministry of Telecommunications and Digital Economy (MTDE) until the project completion.

1. Enabling legal and regulatory environment for Digital Economy, mainly institutional development including the development of section Palestinian Telecommunications Regulatory Authority and root Certificate Authority; legal and regulatory framework; a Quality-of-Service platform; and capacity building.
2. Implementing Digital Infrastructure Solutions for Emergency Response, Recovery and Resilience which includes the development of an emergency response centre.
3. Fostering User Centered E-Service Delivery, which includes the establishment of a whole government digital transformation strategy, data infrastructure, support for a digital public platform and prioritization, simplification and digitization of services, the launch of e-services, and implementation of an e-Government Procurement (e-GP) System.
4. Project Management, which will support the establishment of a Project Management Unit (PMU) in MTDE.
