These challenges persist in the backdrop of the financial crisis and the weakness of the measures taken to reform public finance management.

The conference agenda is as follows:
Session 1: Presentation of the Semiannual Public Budget performance of 2023, along with the results of evaluations conducted by AMAN on the extent of public participation and transparency in the Public Budget.
Session 2: Addressing disparities in public employee numbers and salary levels in key positions of responsibility and assessing the state of transparency in the financial relationship between the Palestinian and Israeli side and examining its impact on the public treasury considering the ongoing occupation’s piracy of clearing funds and escalating financial crises.
