Research paper: Entrepreneurship for survival in Gaza — informal economic adaptation and the prospects of post-war recovery

Since 7 October 2023 the Gaza Strip has faced a comprehensive, devastating Israeli assault touching every side of life — civilians' homes, infrastructure and community facilities. This paper spotlights the continuing crisis's toll on the economy and on entrepreneurial ventures before, during and after the war on Gaza, and the possibilities of recovery. It closes with recommendations for strengthening entrepreneurship as part of a strategic economic plan aimed at reducing youth unemployment.

This paper was issued under the project «From survival to civic participation and youth empowerment in Gaza», implemented by Pal-Think for Strategic Studies in partnership with the Atlas Network.
