Notes
1 The report cited (Lazarus et al. Citation2014) is one of three studies contributing to an ‘Evaluative Learning Review’ commissioned by CMM. See Allen et al. (Citation2014).
2 Criticism of MSC regulations as harmful was unanimous (100%) among 16 NGOs working ‘cross-border’, i.e. between Israeli Jews and Palestinians in the oPt.
3 It is important to note that ‘Vetting’ and the ATC are not policies devised by USAID, but US government-wide requirements derived from EO 13224 and applied globally, rather than specific to the Middle East. See USAID Automated Directives System (ADS) Chapter 303, M 12: Standard Provisions for U.S. Non-Governmental Organizations: http://www.usaid.gov/sites/default/files/documents/1864/303maa.pdf, and M14: Standard Provisions for Non-U.S. Nongovernmental Organizations: http://www.usaid.gov/sites/default/files/documents/1864/303mab.pdf
