This project aims to improve the resilience of Palestinian women, men and children by improving the ability of small-scale farmers, herders and Bedouins in West Bank and Gaza to earn a sustainable living. Some project activities include: (i) providing veterinary services to support animal health and production; (ii) distributing seeds and tree seedlings; (iii) rehabilitating water cisterns; and (iv) providing training to improve agricultural practices. This project is one of over 150 projects that make up the United Nations' 2014 Humanitarian Programme Cycle (HPC) for the West Bank and Gaza. The 2014 HPC, worth over US $400 million, allows the international community to help spare Palestinians from the worst effects of the ongoing crisis. Delivered through a coordinated approach, the HPC provides life-saving humanitarian assistance by providing food, water, health, and nutrition and by increasing the protection of civilians.

The expected intermediate outcomes for this project include: (i) improved livelihoods and resilience among farmers, herders and Bedouins; and (ii) enhanced protective environment for farmers, herders and Bedouins.
