Enhancing and restoring access to agricultural assets and income generation for vulnerable communities in the West Bank ltbrgt


ltp class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"gtltspan style="font-family:"gtThe proposed intervention aims to support vulnerable farmers, in
Area C of West Bank protecting and restoring their livelihoods by increasing
their assets accessibility productivity and utilization while sustaining both their
agricultural and non-agricultural incomes through IGAs. Hence, the resilience
and preparedness to human-made and natural shocks and the negative impacts of
climate change will be enhanced thanks a mix of service, in kind and cash assistance
modalities. Thanks to this NEXUS approach of responsive, remedial and
environment building actions, the project will also support development, peace
and stability.  lt/spangtlt/pgt
