FOREWORDSDr. Mohammad ShtayyehPrime Minister of the State of PalestineThe Government of Palestine remains dedicated to achieving sustainable development, so that no Palestinian,young or old, is left behind. We are fully committed to our ambitious development goals, both to our NationalPolicy Agenda: Disengagement and Cluster Development and to the Sustainable Development Goals. We havedocumented our efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in our 2018 Voluntary National Reportpresented at the high-level political forum in New York, and the recent Progress Report for last year.Now, the Government of Palestine, in cooperation with and with the support of the United Nations Country Team,is presenting the first ever Atlas of Development 2020 for the State of Palestine to demonstrate our continuedprogress towards the development goals.This Atlas is intended to document development efforts by mapping what has been achieved across the countryand in all sectors. The Atlas shows that we are not just making progress on paper. It shows where and how we aremaking a tangible difference to each and every citizen in the State of Palestine. The Atlas also shows Palestine’sdevelopment within the global context and in comparison with other countries.While we celebrate our successes, we are driven to ensure that no regions are left out. Under our clusterdevelopment approach, we are translating our national plans and our work towards the Sustainable DevelopmentGoals within each region. As such, the Atlas enables “even development” in Palestine between regions, byidentifying opportunities and gaps that can be met with proper projects and potential public and privateinvestments. Additionally, this Atlas provides a road map and a vision for donor support and developmentpriorities.As the Atlas is published, we are fighting to contain the COVID-19 outbreak in the State of Palestine and the threatof annexation and to protect our people and economy from the impact of these concurrent existential threats.II Atlas of Sustainable Development 2020Despite this and all the very real challenges we face, we are determined to move forward on our developmentagenda to achieve our goals and objectives and our political aspirations through the manifestation of our state onthe ground.Therefore, I present the Atlas of Development 2020 to our people and our partners as a celebration ofachievements and a promise. The publication of this Atlas shows how we - as a government and a people – areable to build and grow, even under the very harsh and challenging political reality and military occupation.I thank my staff at the Prime Minister’s Office, the Ministries’ SDGs focal points, and the UN Country Team whoproduced this impressive visual guide to key trends and the issues that surround them. This data-rich Atlas willhelp us understand our progress and make better decisions as we update our national plans about how and wheredevelopment resources should go.Dr. Mohammad ShtayyehPrime MinisterState of PalestineAugust 2020

Mr. Jamie McGoldrickUnited Nations Resident Coordinatorand Humanitarian Coordinatorfor the Occupied Palestinian TerritoryI am very pleased to introduce the Atlas of Sustainable Development for Palestine, a new publication from theUnited Nations Country Team and, we hope, the first edition of many. This Atlas is the result of intensivecollaboration between the United Nations Country Team in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Government ofPalestine—a collaboration involving dozens of agencies and ministries under the leadership of my office and theOffice of Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh. I wish to thank the many contributors for their hard work.This publication presents a wealth of richly-detailed maps, visualizations, and spatial analyses of sustainabledevelopment indicators in the Occupied Palestinian Territory at the end of 2019. The sources include many of theofficial indicators for the Sustainable Development Goals, official statistics from the Government of the State ofPalestine, and new data from the United Nations Country Team. To the greatest extent possible, we havevisualized these data in highly-disaggregated formats, allowing the reader to easily grasp spatial patterns, trendsover time, and disparities by sex, age, refugee status, and other key demographic characteristics.The Occupied Palestinian Territory has been under a military occupation since 1967. The occupation-relatedpractices and policies have negatively affected development trajectories in Palestine and have had severehumanitarian repercussions. The Atlas draws a holistic picture of development in Palestine at the end of 2019,depicting the achievements of the Palestinian people and government in the 25 years since the establishment ofthe Palestinian Authority, and under the context of occupation. This publication also identifies the significantchallenges that remain to end poverty and hunger, improve health and education, reduce inequalities, empowerwomen and girls, spur economic growth, address climate change, establish strong and just institutions, and builda more peaceful future.generated profoundly negative consequences for social and economic development in Palestine. Second, thethreat of Israeli annexation of parts of the West Bank has put at risk much of the progress depicted in this Atlas,while also undermining the viability of a future Palestinian state. As of this writing, we have only a limitedunderstanding of how these two crises will evolve in the coming months and years.This Atlas establishes a clear benchmark for measuring the impact of these twin crises on the Palestinian people,on their economy, and on their institutions. As a result, I believe this publication will be a valuable tool for nationaland international policy makers in a range of sectors, such as agriculture, climate change, poverty, nutrition,education, gender, governance, and many others.Secretary-General António Guterres declared 2020 as the first year of a Decade of Action to accelerate sustainable solutions to the world’s biggest challenges. This Sustainable Development Atlas responds to that declaration, identifying areas for accelerated work and greater investment, thereby setting our common agenda insupport of the Palestinian people as we move through this Decade of Action.Jamie McGoldrickUnited Nations Resident CoordinatorAugust 2020Importantly, this Atlas sets a clear baseline for understanding sustainable development prior to the emergence oftwo historic and existential crises early in 2020.

INTRODUCTIONThe Atlas of Sustainable Development 2020 was initiated by Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh and jointlydeveloped by the United Nations Country Team and the Government of Palestine. This publication presents maps,visualizations, and spatial analyses of sustainable development indicators in the Occupied Palestinian Territory atthe end of 2019. The sources include many of the official indicators for the Sustainable Development Goals,official statistics from the Government of Palestine, data from the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, anddata from the United Nations Country Team on various socioeconomic and environmental aspects affectingPalestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. Despite the Israeli occupation and territorial fragmentation of Palestinians into different jurisdictions and authorities, the data shows the most complete picture possible of the sustainable development levels of the Palestinian population in the West Bank and Gaza.In September 2019, at the High-Level Summit on Sustainable Development in New York, the Secretary-General ofthe United Nations, António Guterres, welcomed the progress made globally on the 2030 Agenda, includingending extreme poverty and hunger, transitioning to a low-carbon economy, building peaceful and just societies,and achieving gender equality and human rights for all. The Secretary-General, however, warned that much moreneeded to be done to generate momentum for the required transformations, and called on all stakeholders tomobilize on three levels: global action to secure greater leadership, more resources, and smarter solutions; localaction to reform policies, budgets, institutions, and regulatory frameworks; and people action, including by youth,civil society, the media, the private sector, unions, academia, and others.Moreover, the Secretary-General recently launched the United Nations Data Strategy with the vision of maximizingthe value of data, unlocking the full potential of data, and making better decisions and deliver stronger support tothe people and the planet. Data are critical for decision making and accountability and for informing effective andmeasurable policies while leaving no one behind.This Atlas of Sustainable Development responds to these global initiatives and is the first publication of its kindpositioning the national priorities of the Government of Palestine within the universally agreed goals. The Atlasprovides a visual guide of development indicators in order to inform policy discussions and enhance engagementwith policy makers. The Atlas provides a tool for the public and policy makers to share a common knowledge baseand set a common agenda.Atlas of Sustainable Development 2020Mapping, visualizations, and spatial analyses of sustainable developmentGiven the scope and urgency of development work in Palestine and the 2030 Agenda, the Atlas emphasizes themost critical national priorities as determined by experts in the Government of Palestine and the United Nationssystem. The Atlas leverages data from the United Nations, the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, government ministries and other bodies, the World Bank, and development partners, among others. The 17 SustainableDevelopment Goals (SDGs) and the National Policy Agenda for the State of Palestine structure the Atlas.Data is critical for decision-making, accountability, and for generating real-time insights. The Atlas presents morethan 300 annotated charts and maps. To the greatest extent possible, data was disaggregated allowing the readerto grasp spatial patterns, trends over time, and disparities by sex, age, refugee status, and other key demographiccharacteristics.The result is a comprehensive assessment of development in Palestine at the end of 2019.Atlas of Sustainable Development 2020V
