This paper follows up the previous publication "The Erez and Gaza Industrial Estates: Catalysts for Development" and examines in further detail the importance of industrial estates as productive elements of the Palestinian economy. It outlines issues for stakeholders in the Erez Industrial Estate (EIE) following the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and provides an implementation plan for actions. The study concludes that without a solution to the problem of access to the Palestinian Territories prospects for economic development appear bleak.
