Funding
Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), Grant Number: AH/T007508/1 (Jordan research); East-West Foundation, Grant number: R07810/CN005 (Palestine research). In a marketplace that has grown more crowded with the arrival of new players, and as governmental donors cut their funding, the financial stakes for the established players-INGOs and UN agencies–have grown greater. In addition, child-focused humanitarian organisations operating in the oPt have had to consider the sensitivities of corporate donors as private sector support grows in importance. Over several years, UNICEF NYHQ received funds from Caterpillar. (Announcement of three-year funding from Caterpillar Foundation to UNICEF Available online: https://www.unicefusa.org/supporters/organizations/companies/partners/caterpillar-foundation (accessed on 23 February 2023))—a company that manufactures bulldozers used by the Israeli army to demolish Palestinian homes. Meanwhile Save the Children US (SCUS) received financial support from foundations linked directly to Hewlett Packard which developed the computer technology used at Israeli checkpoints. (Announcement of funding from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation to Save the Children USA. Available online: https://hewlett.org/grants/save-the-children-for-reproductive-health-activities/ (accessed on 23 February 2023)). Even though neither company seems to have supported humanitarian work in the oPt, it is reasonable to raise concerns about a conflict of interests for organisations mandated to undertake child protection work that are in receipt of funds from companies that have contributed to the harm done to Palestinian children.
