In addition the last year of implementation was impacted by the global pandemic. So reporting for the year 2020 took on a different nature to allow for the flexibility and adaptation to limitations of the local context and health considerations. 2020 results showed more focus on utilizing social media tools and increased outreach to Palestinians in the Diaspora as a new target audience.
