This project, funded by the European Commission, aims at following-up and monitoring the process of all Israeli actions and transformations in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT), including settlements' related activities, outposts, bypass roads, land confiscation, uprooting trees, houses demolition, checkpoints and the segregation wall among others, to disseminate the collected information to policy makers, negotiators, researchers and scholars at local, national, regional and international levels, and to the public at large. This project really studies and illustrates the impact of the Israeli actions and transformations on the Palestinian community from various aspects, mainly to identify how such activities affect their day-to-day life. To achieve this, the project uses different approaches and activities: acquiring and analyzing satellite images, collecting primary and secondary data, conducting field works, studies and interviews, synthesizing information and data, mapping Israeli activities, writing case studies and reports, preparing posters, fact sheets and handouts, conducting presentations, workshops, seminars and conferences.
