Polish Government Contributes $50,000 to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA

On Thursday 26th October, Mr Piotr Puchta, the Representative of the Government of Poland to the Palestinian Authority, presented a cheque for $50,000 to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA’s Deputy Commissioner-General, Filippo Grandi, as Poland's contribution to the Agency’s General Fund for 2006.

Poland became a donor to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA in 2002 and this year has increased its contribution by 150% in the context of an overall major increase in assistance to the occupied Palestinian territory. This development marks an important milestone in relations between Poland and Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA and another step forward in the Agency's efforts to broaden its donor base through increased contributions from newer donor states.
