answer text: The ODI report identified important progress that has been made in supporting the fiscal stability of the Palestinian Authority, and made clear that DFID support was instrumental in reducing the chances of economic collapse of the Palestinian economy and violent escalation. The ODI report did not find, conclude or suggest that “paying salaries to convicted terrorists while they are in prison, and holding public sector jobs open for them until they are released from prison, appear[s] to have promoted terrorism in the period from 1998 to 2011” – this is misrepresentation of the research, its analysis and findings. The report made practical suggestions about how DFID could further improve its impact, which were taken into account in the design of the new programme of support to the PA.
