Launched in 2007 by the President of the United States, the Secretary of State, and U.S. business leaders, the U.S.-Palestinian Partnership (UPP) focuses on creating economic opportunity for the Palestinian people and helping prepare Palestinian youth for the responsibilities of citizenship and good governance. The U.S. private sector – both non-profits and the business community – is uniquely situated to contribute to these goals.

The Partnership focuses its efforts on stimulating the Palestinian economy through sustainable economic development, job creation and training, and attracting foreign investment in the West Bank. The partnership is developing quick-impact projects that will promote a robust Palestinian economy.
