The Palestinian Information Technology Association is making a big contribution to the Palestinian economy.  Five percent of Palestine’s workforce produce 8% of its output.

IT specialist Ala Alaeddin says that the big jump in IT use was the risky move by John Chambers of Cisco to invest in Palestine.  IT may become the engine of the Palestinian economy. The goal is to combine media with IT and to help emerging NGOs. Some complain that the govvernment puts more money into telecommunications than IT.
