Background
   
Under the Drosos Foundation program areas in Palestine, SEC is executing project entitled “Agro-processing Development in Palestine / Supporting SMEs and Entrepreneurship for Youth”. The Program Goal is to contribute to the economic growth through raising the participating companies operating in the agro-processing sub-sector incomes and strengthening their ability to create sustainable jobs for unemployed youth and women by providing the participating companies with a set of innovative business development services.

For that reason, a service provider is needed to support the production of a number of selected companies and processors and enhance their competitiveness through the design of brands and the implementation of customized packaging, and labelling solutions.

The program targeted this year ten small and medium companies operating in different governorate in the West Bank; the following presents facts about the companies:

-    Most of the companies have already established some “brands”, however it has weak identity and communication, the rest almost have no professional brands.
-    SEC supported the companies in working with these companies to develop standardized quality systems, market linkages to enhance their competitiveness, however, these efforts have to be integrated with brand building to maximize the economic impact in the medium and long terms
-    Some established brands in the local and regional markets such Turkey and Lebanon enforce the fact that their Palestinian counterparts have to match their level or more.
-    The feedback from the regional traders that SEC already contacted, emphasized the need for stronger brand identity for the Palestinian agro-products
-    Furthermore, agro-processed and food products established shows like in Dubai, Germany, and Saudi Arabia have high standards for products participation in their shows including (packaging, labeling, branding, etc.)
-    The project need to provide the theoretical and conceptual education to these companies bout the critical important of strong branding, however, creating these new brands for these companies in practical terms requires further interventions and support from the program in terms of financial resources and human skills.

Therefore, this ToR is developed against the above background to ensure the fulfillment of the final project goal.
