Impact Assessment of Buy Local Campaign
Background
Oxfam’s Economic (EJ) program in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) works towards systemically fostering agricultural development using the market system approach with the aim to strengthen the economic independence of Palestinians and enhance their livelihood resilience or capacity to adapt and react to external shocks, stress and uncertainty.
To that end, the Oxfam oPt EJ program Theory of Change (ToC) is as follows: ‘for Palestinian women, men and youth to exercise their rights to sustainable and equitable economic development, it is first and foremost necessary to protect and enhance their resilience of livelihoods while working toward systemic change that addresses the structural barriers to economic development in the oPt’.
An impact capturing assignment will be conducted focusing on Buy Local Campaign “Baladi Atyab” which is funded by the following two EJ projects:
Developing Equitable Agricultural Production and Market Systems for Resilient Economic Development in the occupied Palestinian territory, funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sweden) and implemented in six value chains: potato, olives and olive oil (Gaza), grape and small ruminants (West Bank), and cucumber and traditional food processing (West Bank and Gaza).
Improving Small-scale Producer’s Access to and Power in Olive, High Value Fruit, Small Ruminant Value Chains, funded by the Australia Middle East NGO Cooperation Agreement Program phase 3 (AMENCA 3), through the Australian Government. The project aims to make agricultural value chains work better for small-scale producers in the West Bank and Gaza by improving market readiness, enhancing private sector engagement and trade facilitation while promoting in particular youth and women’s inclusion in value chains. The focus in this project is on three agricultural value chains: small ruminant (West Bank), olives and high value fruits (including grapes).
The buy local campaign (Baladi Atyab Campaign) is an awareness and promotional campaign aiming to encourage Palestinian consumers (West Bank and Gaza) to change the stereotype of local products in general and to motivate them to buy more local products, and promote products that are included in the campaign as high quality and competitive products especially products produced by Small Scale Producers (SSP’s) and cooperatives.
