Small and Medium Enterprise Assistance for Recovery and Transition (SMART) Project
Funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the SMART Project (2021- 2025, $40 million) supports Palestinian businesses to reverse the losses from COVID-19 and puts firms on a path toward sustained economic growth. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, 93 percent of Palestinian businesses reported a decrease in goods and service delivery, and at least a 50 percent drop in sales.
