One of the outcomes of the recent London Meeting on Supporting the Palestinian Authority (PA) was a commitment by the international community to more streamlined donor co-ordination and support. DFID will play a full part in strengthening donor co-ordination, including the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee. Follow up to the Meeting includes the establishment of a new Working Group on security, and it is anticipated that the World Bank and the PA will jointly convene a donor Consultative Group in the summer.
