As of today, the European Commission makes available €300 million to finance activities under both the PEGASE [1] mechanism (€229 million) and to UNRWA[2] (€71 million) to support Palestine refugees. PEGASE activities support the Palestinian Authority's Reform and Development Plan in the areas of Governance, Social Development, Economic and Private Sector Development, and Public Infrastructure. Support to UNRWA includes the EC's regular contribution to the general budget (€66 million), as well as support to UNRWA's Special Hardship Cases scheme for the most vulnerable refugees.
