Ad Hoc Liaison Committee
The Ad Hoc Liaison Committee (AHLC) is a body whose primary function is to coordinate the delivery of international aid to Palestinians and the Palestinian Authority. It normally meets twice a year usually in New York or Brussels. The AHLC was established in November 1993.[1]
Structure
The AHLC has 15 members: United States, European Union, United Nations, IMF, World Bank, Russia, Norway, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Palestinian Authority, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, and Tunisia.[2] The AHLC receives reports from UNSCO, the Quartet as well as the World Bank, the latter acting as the AHLC Secretariat.[3]
Chairmanship
Meetings of the AHLC are chaired by Norway, a role for which it was nominated by Saudi Arabia when the US and the EU were at odds over which of them should be chair.[4]
Meetings
While in recent years meetings have been held biannually, in 2018, there were 3 meetings at ministerial level.[5]
