The Agency for International Levelopment (AID) prcgram

to demonstrate U.S. concern for the welfare of the P ZI.iaj s

East. In accordance with congressional intent, L.S. nstace
for the West Bank and Gaza has been carried out th :. L.S.
voluntatay aqencies. These agencies received grants totaling $1
million in fiscal year 1975, $1.6 million in 197b; and $3.5
million in 1977. Direct invclvement ty AlL has teen limited, aLd
there is no AID mission in the area. Findirgs/Conclusicns:
because of political unceztainties and limitations, yrcqxam
objectives have not been clearly fcroulated, ttt guidelares for
the voluntary aqencies have stressd that projects should Le
developmeat oriented rather than strictly relief or welfare
oriented. Voluntary agency programs have been directed tcwaLa
three functional areas: vocational trcining and educaticr,
health care, and community development. Altoulk. individual
proiects have been Leneticial, they currently seet only
specific, narrowly defined needs. This approach has Lct Cnsuzed
that the most urgent socioeconcmic needs are being met, tut
limited observations indicate that thC voluntaLV agencies are
manaqinq and administering their programs effe ciely.
