CPP Team minutes:
MENA Conflict Prevention Pool Programme Team meeting
04th March 2009
IPCC Re-planning Palestine: West Bank C Areas (09/10: £60,000)
The project was already approved in principle at the last team meeting at the full funding
requirement and was approved in principle at reduced funding levels during this meeting.
IPCC is a reputable organisation which has previously demonstrated impact. This project has
support from a number of high level figures as well as post and the programme team.
Concern was expressed that IPCC have tailored the bid to meet the funding limit rather than
the objectives. Since this meeting increased funding has become available, subject to
Ministerial approval, but if there are renewed restraints on funding for this project the
programme team would need to be assured that tangible gains can be made at a reduced
funding level.
Action: [Name Withheld]
to feedback queries to post.

MENA CPP Programme Team meeting
6th November 2008
Projects
IPCC (Area C) This would be continuation of work we have funded before, with
£30,000 this year and £119,000 next year. It had the support of the committee for the first
year and in principle for the second year (and the strong support of Jerusalem and Tel
Aviv).
Action: Before the committee could sign off on this we would like to know i)
whether there would definitely be the chance to re-evaluate the project after the
first year funding before committing the second year funding and; ii) thinking on
whether this should be part of core funding as we fund IPCC regularly (: [Name

IPCC –EAST JERUSALEM FUNDING
CPP Team minutes:
MENA GCPP Committee meeting – 12th July 2007
International Peace and Co-operation Centre (2007/08 £97,358; 2008/9 £19,472)
We had previously discussed this project proposal and raised some concerns which DFID and
FCO Jerusalem had subsequently discussed with IPCC. [Name Withheld] stated that although
the proposal deals with symptoms rather than causes, that the conflict analysis was sound
and concerned a problem that was very real in East Jerusalem. [Name Withheld] explained
some of the differences between this project and that of [Name Withheld]. [Name
Withheld]requested some more detailed analysis of Israeli interests in supporting more
formalised land use zoning and planning application system, and wished to know whether the
Israeli side views the project as having the sustainable benefit of 'facilitating a future peace
process that ensures East Jerusalem to be the capital for a viable Palestinian state'. It was
agreed that as a pilot project this was worth funding. Evaluation would be important, and
should involve all three Departments at post. Project approved.
Action: [Name Withheld]
to ensure that concerns raised are addressed in the project
proposal.

MENA CPP Committee meeting
23rd April 2008
IPCC – Urban Intervention to reduce tension in East Jerusalem (2008/09 £163,000).
IPCC has also been previously funded. [Name Withheld] explained that this project complements
policy work and has the ability to achieve high levels of impact. It was agreed that this project would
require more than one year to achieve deliverables and the committee should consider committing
funding for longer than one year.
Project approved.
Action: [Name Withheld]
to discus with [Name Withheld]
the best way to commit to multi-year
projects.
Summary
IPCC – Urban Intervention to reduce tension in East Jerusalem (2008/09 £163,000).
