The primary function of the AHLC is to coordinate the delivery of international aid to the Palestinian Territories (oPt). It normally meets twice a year usually in New York or Brussels.

Structure

There are 15 members of the AHLC, US, EU, UN, IMF,World Bank Russia, Norway, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Palestinian Authority, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, and Tunisia. [1] The AHLC receives reports from UNSCO, the Quartet as well as the World Bank, the latter acting as the AHLC Secretariat.[2]

Norway

Meetings of the AHLC are chaired by Norway, a role for which they were nominated by Saudi Arabia when the US and the EU were at odds over which of them should be chair. [3]

Meetings

While in recent years meetings have been held biannually, in 2018, there were 3 meetings at ministerial level. [4]
