The Roadmap

In its meeting on 10 April 2002, the Quartet laid the foundations for what later became ìA Performance-Based Roadmap to a Permanent Two-State Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict,î or in short, the Roadmap. The Roadmap defines parameters and steps to be taken by both Israelis and Palestinians to end the bloodshed and settle the conflict between the two parties, resulting in the existence of two states in the region, living side by side in peace and security.

Formally presented to the parties on 30 April 2003, the Roadmap is a three-phase plan aimed at achieving a final and comprehensive settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, on the basis of a goal-driven and performance-based approach. The Roadmap has been accepted by both sides and remains the primary blueprint and reference point for all efforts to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, in conjunction with United Nations Security Council Resolutions 242, 338 and 1397. The Quartet is committed to assist and facilitate the implementation of the Roadmap and meets regularly on both the envoysí and the principalsí levels to evaluate the partiesí performance on implementation.

The Task Force on Palestinian Reform (TFPR) was established by the Quartet on July 10, 2002 in London. The mandate of the TFPR is to monitor and support the implementation of Palestinian civil reforms, and to provide guidance to the international donor community in its support of the Palestinian reform agenda. It reports to and works under the auspices of the Quartet at the envoy level.  It also closely cooperates with the AHLC chair and fully informs the AHLC on its work.
