In January 2011, the Office of the EU Representative in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) launched the Mapping Study on Civil Society Organisations in the oPt. The study aimed at providing a comprehensive overview of CSOs in the oPt, including their capacity-building needs and recommendations for possible intervention areas to be supported by forthcoming cooperation programmes. The study was finalized in May 2011.
The geographic scope of the study included the entire oPt: the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip. A total of 262 CSOs were consulted so as to have an adequate representation of the dynamics and processes characterising Palestinian civil society at the national and local levels.
