INTRODUCTION

PalTrade was established in 1998 as a non-profit, membership based organization to “lead the development of Palestinian export as a driving force for sustainable national economic growth”. Over the last 18 years PalTrade, as the mandated National Export Development and Promotion Organization has worked with Palestinian exporters, the wider export support and national partner network, international donor agencies and the international export support network, to deliver a positive impact on Palestinian export performance. In addition, PalTrade’s role as the Secretariat of the Palestinian Export Council (PEC) which aims to facilitate public / private partnership in the elaboration, coordination and monitoring of the Palestinian National Export Strategy ( NES ) in a manner that best enhances exports and international competitiveness have provided a unique opportunity for moving the export development agenda significantly to the forefront.

This TOR comes under three projects (Improved access to markets for Female and Males Fresh Fruits and vegetable Small Scale Producers in the West Bank funded by SDC, Developing Equitable Agricultural Production and Market Systems for Resilient Economic Development in the occupied Palestinian Territory funded by SIDA and Improving Palestinian

small -scale producers access to and power in high value fruit, small ruminant value chains funded by Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).

CAMPAIGN GOAL AND OBJECTIVES

In the light of the intensification of competitiveness between foreign and domestic commodities in this relatively small market, that gradually led to reduce the market share of local produce due to many factors, an urgent need to raise “buying local” awareness appeared in the local Palestinian market and to create a Buy- Local brand identification to enable the distinction between Palestinian produce and other imported or Israeli ones. Thus, through OXFAM projects funded by SDC, SIDA and AMENCA, PalTrade, with their distinctive experience in executing such campaigns, decided to act decisively toward designing and executing a Buy Local Marketing Campaign that will build on, complement and capitalize on investments thus far.
