This includes initiatives that aim to:\n<ul>\n<li>Unleash Palestinian economic potential<\/li>\n<li>Empower the Palestinian people<\/li>\n<li>Enhance Palestinian governance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Peace to Prosperity is the most comprehensive international effort for the Palestinian people to date and has the potential to achieve incredible results, including:\n<ul>\n<li>Facilitating more than $50 billion in investment over 10 years<\/li>\n<li>More than doubling Palestinian gross domestic product<\/li>\n<li>Creating over one million Palestinian jobs<\/li>\n<li>Lowering the Palestinian unemployment rate to nearly single digits<\/li>\n<li>Reducing the Palestinian poverty rate by 50 percent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>EMBRACING A NEW APPROACH: The Trump Administration is undertaking a new approach after decades of past attempts have failed to truly succeed in helping the Palestinian people.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Trump Administration\u2019s approach is ambitious but achievable, helping the Palestinian people build a future of prosperity, dignity, and opportunity for themselves and generations to come.\n<ul>\n<li>Peace to Prosperity will help the Palestinians and the region fulfill their economic potential.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Peace to Prosperity will create a new model of economic growth and investment that breaks with the old model of donor dependency.\n<ul>\n<li>The old approach has centered on enormous amounts of donor aid, which has ultimately not improved the lives of the Palestinian people.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>The Palestinian leadership has resisted a new approach because they fear this stream of foreign aid will dry up.<\/li>\n<li>Peace to Prosperity and the economic workshop in Bahrain demonstrate that the world will not turn away if they embrace a new vision.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>UNLEASHING ECONOMIC POTENTIAL: Peace to Prosperity will create an environment that fosters private sector growth and creates more opportunity for the Palestinian people.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Peace to Prosperity will generate billions of dollars in new investment in the private sector, enabling business to create more high-quality jobs.\n<ul>\n<li>These investments will help support entrepreneurs and small businesses, as well as drive growth in key sectors like tourism, agriculture, housing, and manufacturing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>The Trump Administration aims to increase trade among Palestinians and countries in the region, ultimately boosting the economies of Egypt, Israel, Jordan, and Lebanon as well.<\/li>\n<li>The West Bank and Gaza will benefit from major investments in areas like transportation and infrastructure.\n<ul>\n<li>These investments will increase Palestinian exports and reduce the complications of transport and travel.<\/li>\n<li>Peace to Prosperity will facilitate billions of dollars in investment to construct essential infrastructure, like electricity, water, and telecommunications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>EMPOWERING THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE: Peace to Prosperity will empower the Palestinian people and help lead to a better quality of life.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Trump Administration\u2019s approach will help offer the Palestinian people access to better education, workforce training, and healthcare.<\/li>\n<li>Peace to Prosperity will strengthen the Palestinian education system by focusing on improving educational access, quality, and affordability.<\/li>\n<li>Educational programs will be better aligned with the skills needed to succeed in the workplace.\n<ul>\n<li>While Palestinians often have high levels of education and literacy, they also have a high unemployment rate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Peace to Prosperity will strengthen workforce development programs to help Palestinians gain access to quality, high-paying jobs in the private sector.\n<ul>\n<li>This approach includes a comprehensive strategy to boost employment for Palestinian youth and women.<\/li>\n<li>Palestinians will have increased opportunities in STEM education, technical and vocational training, and research and development partnerships.<\/li>\n<li>Workers who are already employed will receive the training they need to enhance their skills or change careers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>The Palestinian healthcare sector will be transformed to dramatically improve care.\n<ul>\n<li>Palestinian hospitals will gain access to necessary supplies, medicines, vaccines, and equipment to ensure they can provide quality care.<\/li>\n<li>Greater use of mobile and neighborhood clinics will improve healthcare access throughout the West Bank and Gaza.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>ENHANCING PALESTINIAN GOVERNANCE: Peace to Prosperity will improve Palestinian governance to attract more business investment and promote long-term growth.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Peace to Prosperity builds a foundation for growth by promoting property rights, guarding against corruption, improving credit access, and ensuring functioning capital markets.\n<ul>\n<li>Adopting this framework will provide certainty and predictability for investors, leading to more growth, job creation, and foreign investment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Peace to Prosperity will build up Palestinian institutions in order to strengthen the rule of law, promote judicial independence, and enhance government responsiveness.<\/li>\n<li>The Palestinian government should improve operations by implementing a budgeting and tax plan that promotes fiscal sustainability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a non-United Nations document.
