English Abstract

The significance of the non- governmental sector has emerged widely in various sectors of the Palestinian society in the last five years.

It covered the social, economic, political, educational, health and other societal sectors that are related to the Palestinian infrastructure- and that were affected by Al-Aqsa Intifada which started in September 2000.

Currently, the non- governmental organizations (NGOs) are representing what we can call a “phenomenon” that is attracting various societal elements including skilled labor force, financial resources and above all local and international concern.

This study is considered a new addition too many other studies that were concerned with the NGOs role in the Palestinian society but focused on their role in the last five years in particular.

In fact, it investigated several internal and external factors that are related to NGOs performance given the effect of Al-Aqsa Intifada on the Palestinian society.

Findings of this study have revealed that despite the cement formal and informal argue that many NGOs are conducting projects that are not related to their missions ; still the majority of selected Palestinian non-governmental organizations (PNGOs) have revealed that they fulfill projects that are related to their missions and specialization.

In addition, the study uncovered several factors affecting the relationships environment in which PNGOs operate, these include: relationship with the Palestinian National Authority (PNA), relationship with donors and the relationship with other PNGOs.

Moreover, the study showed the importance of PNGOs that are operating in the human rights areas (which represented 47 % of the selected sample of the study) since these organizations turned out to attract special attention by donors for their important role in raising bureaucratic concepts that are needed for building a healthy society.

The study ended its section with recommendations that are directed to various sides that are related to PNGOs performance in Palestine.

Some of these recommendations emphasized the importance of having an updated data base for all projects that are being fulfilled in certain areas at a certain period of time- the fact that helps in reducing the possibility of having duplication of similar projects or conducting projects that are not related to the real societal need.

In addition, the recommendation section showed the importance of activating the role of the Palestinian Non-Governmental Organizations Network (PNGON) by being consistently updated of PNGOs performance which helps in improving the atmosphere in which PNGOs operate and which leads to improve the living aspects of the Palestinians by taking into consideration societal needs.
