Data collection methods would likely involve some documentary review with a primary focus on key informant interviews with CBO/NGO partners and IMC-Gaza Program and Leadership.  Data collection would be conducted primarily in Gaza and travel to partner institutions to understand the key issues comprehensively.  Outputs would ideally be a presentation, report, and publication in a development or management journal on the unique operational environment.  An agreement would need to be reached with each CBO and NGO partner involved about their participation in the study.
