Shrinking space for Palestinian civil society:2017-2022 and the war on Gaza

Broederlijk Delen, Oxfam Belgium, Solidagro, SolSoc and Viva Salud present the study “Shrinking Space for Palestinian Civil Society: 2017-2022 and the War on Gaza”, by Dr. Jeremy Wildeman, Dr. Alaa Tartir and Ms. Salma Shaheen. This study, supported by Belgian Development Cooperation, maps how the operational space of Palestinian CSOs has been increasingly restricted during 2017-2022 and during the recent war on Gaza. The study examines the various factors contributing to “shrinking space” for Palestinian CSOs, the impact of increasing restrictions on their funding and operations, and the strategies CSOs are developing to adapt to these changing circumstances.
