OFID’s Special Grant Account for Palestine is supporting educational, health and infrastructure schemes and rehabilitation. The proceeds are also backing social projects via support to local, non-governmental organizations. The grant account is one of three currently operated by OFID to also battle food crises and contribute to the global campaign against HIV\/AIDS.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
