Improved Access to Markets for Female and Male Small Scale Farmers in the West Bank
The project aims to enhance the relations between women and men farmers with the market, thus contributing to better connect the supply side with the demand side. It will facilitate a process which should enhance the capacities and abilities of key actors to play their role along the selected Fruit and Vegetable value chains. The 9 months inception period will be used to set-up the project team and conduct additional necessary analyses and consultations and finally to validate assumptions and intervention strategies with key stakeholders. A detailed project proposal for the main phase will be prepared and submitted to SDC.
