During last autumn I have been studying the conflict between Israel and Palestine, both through books and at place in the area. The purpose has been to evaluate and reflect over EAPPI`s achievement (Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel) and how it`s related to the goals of the organization. EAPPI is an interesting organization, mainly because it stands as a third part in the conflict. I have used a qualitative method for interviews and observations. The accompaniers, whom I have interviewed, represent three of seven placements in Israel/Palestine. The EAPPI programme contains important and valuable goals: for example to decrease violence and to end the occupation. To improve and develop the programme more it would be beneficial if measurable and concrete part goals were put in words. That would also help the programme in its ongoing evaluation and to stabilize continuity. Thus, it is mentioned in my result part that the EAPPI`s involvement does make a concrete difference in some areas. Those areas are for example: decreasing the violence against the civilians, increase the possibility for health care and finally by supporting the educational system in areas where people are lacking access to such. Indeed, those are important contributions to the needy civilians.
