Description of the project

This project has been designed in response to the manifold challenges facing farmers, including livestock farmers, in Area C of the West Bank. The overall aim of this project is to contribute to resilient and inclusive agricultural growth that improves the living standards of women and men farmers in Area C of the West Bank. Its specific objective is to increase the income of small-scale women and men farmers and their attachment to their lands in Area C through upgraded capacities, improved land development and water management practices and policies.

The project proposed to support small-scale women and men farmers to maximize the use and protection of land by expanding the area under cultivation and by promoting the better utilization of already cultivated land. The project supports farming and herding communities in land rehabilitation and water management, capitalizing on investments already made by agricultural stakeholders, including the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) and agricultural NGOs.  The project also, upgrades farmer capacities to sustainably protect and manage grazing and agricultural lands and water resources and to advocate for improved national policies and strengthened international protection and engagement in Area C. 

In parallel, the project works on strengthening the capacities of the MoA to promote more inclusive agricultural development in Area C. Additionally, coordinated advocacy work has been undertaken with farmers organizations and key stakeholders in Area C. Moreover, the project supports all ongoing efforts to mobilize and activate national and international stakeholders through ad-hoc influencing actions on land rights to challenge Israeli planning and permit regime in Area C. In addition, the project supports women’s economic empowerment (WEE) initiatives to empower them to enhance their access to agricultural resources and income.
