Abstract
This research aims to examine the dynamics and the impact of international donors’ financing on local CSOs in the Gaza Strip over the course of the six years that followed the takeover by Hamas. It is not clear whether donor funding strengthened CSOs’ role at the expense of the state, leading to an undermining of the state, or if it instead alleviated pressure on the state through the provision of social services normally associated as being state responsibility.
