economic impact of the project. The study that targeted a raridomly selected 15 locations that
showed a high positively socio-economic impact on the direct & indirect beneficiaries.
-

A full report on the socio-economic impact is annexed.
Potential Effectiveness According to the perspective analysis of the project objectives
indicators, there is high potential to achieve the project short-term outcomes, and a high
possibility to be sustainable, which, in turn, ensures achieving the intended long-term project
overall objectives.
-

National Strategic Objective The project was in line with the Ministry of Agriculture
Strategic Plan through the contribution of three strategic objectives out of five. In specific, the
project contributed in 19 strategic outputs.
—

A full table of the project contribution in this National Plan is inciuded in the report.
Besides, the Seed Bank contributed significantly in the land development
including, but not limited to: 46.5 dunums were cultivated by local seeds, 1,384 male and
female farmers were provided with summer and winter local seeds; 2 new agricultural
techniques were introduced to 2 agricultural women CBOs; and Hedge Mustard, Lettuce,
Garlic and thyme were all planted and reproduced.

Best Practices The report indicated, throughout this years’ experience, various best
practices inciuding mainly: the community fïnancial contribution, the solar-powered water
pump system, the customized reproduction unit for each type of seeds, and others.
-

Challenges & Obstacles

On the other hands, the project faced many challenges and risks
throughout this year. The majority of them were caused bythe lsraeli Authorities and settiers.
They are mainly the Israeli violations & aggression against the project deliverables and
farmers’ properties. the project farmers and deliverables experienced S stop-working order,
of them one is an oral order, and 4 aggressions against farmer’s properties, as well as
cornification actions by Israeli authorities and settiers, of them, 75% of aggressions were
focusedin
-

In addition, the owuers of the Area C lands are facing significant challenges in issuing their
Ownership documents from the Israeli Authorities. According to the Israeli regulations and
restrictions: “the area C land owner can’t register more than 20% of the lands that the farmer
beneficiary owns.
Therefore, the report recommendations focused mainly on the importance of international
pressure against lsraeli violation & aggression; in addition to other considerable
recommendations such as the importance of identifying more innovative & efficient
innervations in the future.
SEFSEC study with regard to the SEFSEC component, the first survey of SEFSEC 2018 was
conducted and a draft study was delivered by MAS Research Institute. The second round of
SEFSEC survey 2020 is planned to start in March 2020.
—

Mid-Evaluation Review
Finally, for the period between April-June, 2019, 2 external
evaluators, contracted through by the NRO, were mandated to evaluate the project
implementation and achievement. The overall results of the review were considerably
positive. The review was shared with all partners and discussed during the last steering
committee meeting, held in October 2019.

3. Summary of Project Objectives & Main Interventions
3.1.

Project Objectives

The project employs three interrelated and complementary components aimed to
contribute to the increasing of food security of Palestinians living in the West Bank; It
is structured and deals with the following components:
A. Land & Water Resource Developmerit and Access to sustainable agricultural
infrastructure.
B. The Development of the Local Seed Bank, to help Palestinian farmers adjust to
climate change and to preserve local genetic resources.
C. The Socio-Economic and Food Security (SEFSec) survey, which is conducted by the
Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) with support from FAO and UAWC.
These components reflect a deeper investment into the eradication and fight against
food insecurity in the Palestinian context. As it covers a broad scope of activities from
providing agricultural infrastructure also to support research into the status and
causes of food insecurity with prominent Palestinian research institutions and the
FAO. The importance of researching the root causes of food insecurity in the
Palestinian context lies in the heart of the efforts to formulate programs and activities
that address food insecurity.

Inciusive Access to and Sustainable Management Of Land And Water Resources 1 BAYDAR
Enhancing on-farm ISFM, soil productivity, IPM and plant productivity:

One hundred soil samples had been collected for farmers who benefited from previous
phases of NRO land development project and soil analysis (soil texture, pH, EC, CEC, NPK,
Ca, Mg, Na, CaCO3) were conducted in
soil laboratory with the tandard
analytical method. Studying both physical and chemical properties and correlation and
analysis of soil properties with the soil fertility status by soil interpretation and
Formulation recommendations for using fertilizer to improving the productivity towards
prosperous agricultural development of soil fertility. Soil assessing for soil fertility to
determine soil fertility levels and make appropriate nutrient management decisions, and
fertilizer recommendations to increase yields, reduce production costs.
And during that, for each soil sample information were collected by described the site
name, soil depth, name of the farmer, past cropping, management history, and crops. In
addition to the collection of production data from the farmer directly, and detection of the
problems in the fields through personal observation as well as through questions. The
results and recommendation ofsoil fertility and nutrient components were also circulated
to some farmers, each according to his soil analysis.

More details on the study and its resuits are in the Annex # 3

Two filtration pits and did water filtration tests have been excavated. The tests
revealed that filtration through the soil profile was slow and got steady after sort time,
nearly 130 minutes.
The potential seepage area of the western edge of the dam lake has been excavated
and realized that the conglomerate zone doesn’t reach the lower elevation of the lake
floor, we then covered the zone with day and compacted it to ensure it is not causing
seepage.
It is realized that the water intake in the dam lake is nearly clogged and filled with
sedimentation. The level of sediments is almost 1.5 m already and therefore, we
replaced the iritake with a more reliable one.
It is still needed to instali the logger to monitor the water level variation automatically.

A full study of the above accomplished activities is annexed # 5

Assessment of Project Partner Performance
Assessment Performance Indicators
The performance of the project partners, inciuding PHG, LRC and ES DC, is evaluated
based on the following five criteria:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

The qualification of the project team
The quality of the deliverables
The quality of the delivered reports
Following-up with sub-contractors & farmers
The efficiency in conducting the project activities
Commitment & readiness to the monthly technical meeting

Assessment Methodology
The assessment passed two major steps; they are:
Discussing the S performance indicators against the partner’s performance,
-

-

Reviewing the comments of the Monitoring & Evaluation Officer

Assessment Findings Against the Performance indicators

1. The Qualification of the Project Team
PHG: The PHG team inciuding the techriical officer and supervisors are qualified
enough, specifically in the water field of work, in conducting the allocated
interventions and activities. However, the PHG team don’t have enough experience
in following-up performing the agricultural roads component.
LRC: The LRC team inciuding the technical officer and supervisors are qualified
enough, specifically in the Soil Analysis, preparing the Soil Erosion Risk Map, Crop
Suitability, as well as in the field of reclamation, rehabilitation, agricultural roads
components. However, LRC doesn’t have a specialized team in the field of water.
ESDC: The ESDC team inciuding the technical officer and supervisors were not
qualified enough in conducting the allocated activities, more specifically in the
reclamation, rehabilitation as well as in agricultural roads. However, the ESDC team
was qualified in Solar Energy Use in Water Pumping and Mobile Solar Energy.

2. The Quality of the Deliverables

3. The Quality of the Delivered Reports

By the end of each month, project partners deliver monitoring reports that inciude
all achievement of the project deliverables and expenses in figure basis. Besides, a
technical report is delivered. The report inciuded the following titles: the status of
the schedule, Lesson Learnt, Best Practices, Challenges, Risks Responses, Israeli
Violations, Success Stones, Potential Effectiveness of the Project, Potential
Sustainability, Recommendations
In overall, the project partners delivered the monitoring reports on quality and on
time. However, the institutions don’t give an in-depth analysis of the potential
effectiveness, impact and sustainability so that supporting the Project Management
Unit in taking the right preventive and corrective action on time. Therefore, PMU
tries to analyze the potential effectiveness, impact and sustainability through the
partners’ feedback during the monthly technical meeting, the discussion with
partners during the field visits, as well as through the monitoring visits reports,
conducted by the project M&E officer.

4. Following-up with sub-contractors & farmers
Background

Under a fully supervision & follow-up of the project team, around 40% of the project
budget is allocated for external sub-contractors, and about 25% is paid to the
farmers to cover different expenses of reclamation and rehabilitation actions. This
considerable work requires intensive monitoring and following-up by the field
supervisors.

5. The efficiency in conducting the project activities

In overall, all partners conducted the project activities efficiently. In other words,
the activities are completed in less time & costs.
6. Commitment & readiness to the monthly technical meeting

In overall, all partners attended all technical meeting altogether. During these
meeting sessions, all partners presented the progress, challenges; lessons learned,
best practices, as well as discussing the up coming actions.

The Lessons Learned

Description
For external out-sourced activities, we
usually accept the lowerfinancial offer that
meets the required acceptance criteria.

contra ctors about our
estimationforthe

Page

Some ofthefinancial proposals we have
received are under the actual costs,
according to our estimation. that caused au
actualfinancial loss for the external
con tractor. In this case, we accept the offer
as it is the lowest, butfinally, we made great
efforts tofollow-up and keep the contractor
cornpieting the work as required.

Due to price increasing and lack ofworkers,
the allocated budget of the Cisteras & Water
Pumps is lower than budget allocations. This
resulted in over expending.

Recommendation for the Future
Our recomrnendation is to NOT!FY
clearly to the subcon tractor about the
potential loss and that the actual
estiunation is under the financial
proposaL Therefore, the contractor can
decide either to continue or to withdraw.
Another Recomrnendation in this
regards is not to accept anyfinancial
proposal that is under the actual
expenses and reasonable profit. This will
protect the project from delivering the
work with low quality and saving the
team efforts andfollow-up time.

Increasing the financial allocations for

Currently, and under the full supervision of
the project team,farmers are for cariying
Out some tasks including land levelling,
ploughing, cleaning, b uilding retaining
walis, etc. the refore,farmers may
individually contract external suppliers to do
some of these work In this case, some
farmers don’t have a list if the best external
suppliers (in terms of credibility, efficiency,
costs, etcj

The reclamation intervention costs, in
comparison with its benefit, is high at the
expenses of other interventions.

Currently, specifically in the Contract
Agreement, no legal item restricts the subcontra cting regulations; therefore, the
external con tractors have the right and
flexible to sub-contract any other
con tractors.
In this case, the project team are more
preoccupied in ensuring the quality of the
sub-contractorsso that achieving the work
within the required acceptance criteria and
specifications

Farrners recommendgiving a more
responsibility role for the local
Municipality Council in their village so
that help in coordinating and selecting
the best individual contractors to deliver
the work efficiently and with the
required specification.

It is recommended to identify most
efficient reclamation interventions with
lower costs and efforts. Besides, the
community co-financing for the
reclamation may be increased to be not
less than 30-40% in the nextphases

It is recommended to include a dear
statementin the ContractAgreement,
asking from the main con tractor to
disclose clearly and getting approval on
all other sub-contractors with whom the
main contractor will work with, within
the Contract scope of work

Description
Even we are working on a collective basis and coordinating with Agricultural

Collective Reclamation vs
Individual

Gommittees: wefound out that the individual reclamation agreement with
individual benefzciaiyfariners is more efficient than the collective approach
in termsoffollowing—up and beneficiary commitinent. While the involveinent
if the Municipality council in the pro cess is recommended.

Community co-financing
Contributes lead to more
project Sustainability &
Ownership

Even the community contribution is already stated in the GrantAgreement
document: we would emphasize this crucial practice that guarantees the
seriousness and committeemen of the bene’ficiaiy, that will, in turn,
contribute to keeping this project more sustainable.

Steal Tank Roof vs

Polyester

We recommend roofing the water tanks with steal ceiling instead ofpolyester
as the later one is more adaptive to the climate change and more lifespan

Solar-Powered Water
Pump Systems is an
effectiVe and efficient
practice

Wefound that the pilot Solar-Powered Water Pump Systems that we have
installed in many locations are very efficient and effective practice and
contributed to unintended positive impact at the community. We recoinmend
expanding the practice in other places in Palestine.

was threatened by confiscation by Israeli authorities; specifically, it is
located alongside the surrounding settlement. According to the technical estimation, the land
was significantly unable to be reclaimed due to the high rate of rocks. The project team
decided to protect the land and reclaim it. Now the land is not only reclaimed, and it became
high-value crops (cash crops). It was planted with different crops such as Avocado, Annona,
Citrus, Almond trees, and Guava trees). Over and above, new families became encouraged and
started to reclaim their lands and plant it due to this success Story.

Main Recommendations
Based on the project experience and monthly reports as well as the discussed points
during the monthly technical meeting and steering committee meetings, here a list of
recommendations for the next phase of the project.

1
More Innovative & Efficient Interventions in the future

Even though the various current interventions have high poteritial to achieve short-term
outcomes and long term impact & sustainability, the project team recommend
considering different innovative & efficient interventions in the future, including the
reclamation interventions and others.
Operational Recommendations:
Minimizing the actual supporting documents for the land development
intervention

Regarding the Land reclamation interventions, and specifically the required supporting
official documents, more precisely the “Ownership Document” that each beneficiary
shali present, it is recommended to consider an official document, issued by the
Palestinian Authorities supported by Municipality / Municipality Council, as
sufficiently reliable proof to proceed with the land development actions. It should be
emphasized that some “ownership Document” needs a lot of time and efforts to be
issued by different authorities. Besides, and regarding the rehabilitation interventions,
only an official document, issued by the Municipality / Municipality Council is enough to
for the intervention.
Contribution of Agricultural Road is guaranteed ahead

For the efficiency, and based on some cases the project faced when the bene ficiaries
cancelled the financial contribution, it is recommended to ensure the community
contribution before any preparatory actions so that saving the time and efforts.

More restrictions on the sub-contracting procedures in the Contract Agreement

As some sub-contractors, who work on behalf of the main contractor, were not evaluated
by the bidding committee, and therefore the team invest considerable time and efforts to
follow-up with them to achieve the deliverables in compliance with the required
specification and acceptance criteria, it is recommended to inciude a dear statement in
the Contract Agreement, asking from the niain contractor to disciose clearly and getting
approval on all other sub-contractors with whom the main contractor will work with,
within the Contract scope of work.

The Study Fin dings
17.3.1.

Land Development & Protection & Productivity:

1. % increase in productivity in the targeted lands & % increase Hi-! average
in come
As the real productivity of the lands need between 3-4years, all the visited recalaimed
and rehabilitated lands have high potential of productivity as interviewed farmers
have already planted them, while some of lands became actually productive,
specifically from the intercropping, as confirmed by the interviewed farmers. The
Women Society of
is now benefitting from the production of the
rehabilitated lands & Thyme seedlings their receive from the project. They started to
sell the Thyme (Za’atar) production and use it in their income-generating restaurant
on which 13 women dependfinancially to help theirfamilies.
confirmed that his monthly revenue,from the small shop, the only income source for
the family was only 1,500 ILSm while the monthly income doubele.
2. Protected & Exploited Lands
According to the Israeli law, the land that is not exploited and not used by its owner/s
for more than lüyears, it will be transferred to a State Lands, in other words, It is
actually confiscated by the Israeli authorities. On the other hand, the lands that are
bordering the Israeli settlements are also exposed and threatened to be confiscated by
the settlers. By the land development interventions, the lands became more exploited
by the beneficiaries than before, and then more protectedfrom confiscation orders.
that was a military area, is an example, of who the
project intervention help the montain owner recover their own land and develop It
confirmed that before the
land development, no boby could reach It due to the permenant exisiting of Israeli
military, while now, It became a touristic place where his family and other family visit
itfrequently. According to him, the price of the land incresed from JOD 20K/donum to
not less tha USD lOOK. In addition, other owners of the whole mountain started to
recover their lands and exploit them.

3. More Reclaimed & Rehabilitated Lands
The land development interventions for 3,000 donums by this project, influenced
positively other farmers to reclaim and rehabilitate their lands. Specificully, that some
locations, where lands are developed, became connected with water, electricity. Each
visitedfarmer, whose lands were reclaimed, confirmed that other neibouringfarmers
started to reclaim their lands from their own.

Economic Benefit & Efficiency

4. More Monatory Value of Lands
According to the interviewed beneficiaries, the price of reclaimed & rehabilitated lands
as well as served by the agricultural roads increased between 300-500%. For example
the donurn price of

as confirmed by
5. Reduction % in time, costs and resources for access to lands through
agricultural roads
According to the interviewedfarmers, the opening agricultural roads con tributed to
decreasing the time, efforts and costs to have access to the lands and develop It
effïciently. Some of the interviewed beneficiaries said that time is decreased between
300-500%. For example, heavy machinery such as bulldozers, tractors, etc. can
currently be accessed to the lands to reclaim and rehabilitate them. Besides, the
delivery and provision of the lands with needed water, seeds, seedlings other tools are
now more efficient. A farmer from
pointed out another impact of the open
road through the ability of the whole family for visiting their lands with the car. In
contrast, before the road open, the farmer was using animals to arrive at the land
alone. This, according to the farmer,fosters the affiliation of the wholefamily to their
lands that they had not been able to visit before.
6. Reduction of time & costs in having access to the needed water
According to the many direct ben eficiaries interviewed, the time & costs in having
access to the required water is decreased significantly. The situation before was
catastrophic according to them: each farmer had to wait for his/her turn for a period

from around 6-10 hours until he/she can getsome of the needed quantity of water. This
drained not only the time and efforts but con tributed to the low quality of the crops as
some of them lack the water in a specific time. Now, with the installed water network
while eachfarmer has his/herfull control on the water through installed water switch
& counter, the farmer selects the right time to for irrigation without waiting.
The interviewed farmers from
confirmed that they were waiting more
than 12 hours to irrigate the tomato crop. The pro blem is that the right time to irrigate
such crop is either in the early morning orjust before the sunrise. Now, such a crop
receives the needed quantity of water at the right time so that increasing its quality
and production quantity.
7. More revenues from the rehabilitated weils
Upon the rehabilitation of wells, owners started to get revenues from water selling for
other farmers. This con tribu ted to solving the farmers’ problem of water shortage and
increased the income of well owners and workers who deliver such services.
8. Efficient & Effective Water Distribution Processes
According to the farmers, the water distribution became more efficient and effective
thank to water cisterns and networks. Before the project intervention, the farmer was
waiting his/her turn for a long time to get his/her share of the water. The delivered
quantity of water may be not all needed, and the irrigation time, where the water
arrives according to his/her turn, maybe not suitable for the crops. After developing
the water cisterns and networks, where each farmer has his/her stopcock water,
farmers have more control over both: the quantity and time of irrigation according to
the actual and specific needs of the plant/s. Therefore, the established water network
decreased the costs and time, as well as con tributed to increasing the quality of
production as each plant has its specific time of irrigation.

9. New Industrial Enterprises
Through the new agricultural roads, new industrial plants are established alongside
the open agricultural roads. This con tributed to employinp new workers. For example,
in
and after opening au agricultural road, a solar panels corn pany
is established to serve the community including farmers. Also, a poultry farm is
established alongside the open road of the location as mentioned above.

Now, the waste dump is eliminated and the road is used
byfarmers as well as by other beneficiaries. Besides, A rec!aimed land
village was plan ned to be a waste dump by the neighbouring quarries, whi!e with the
reclamation intervention, this project is eliminated and protected the environment in
this location as well as protecting the neighbouring residentsfrom the negative impact
such as related diseases impacted by the Qua rries waste.

confirmed t/Uit
the council receivefrequesntly many requests from Universities and school to visit the
locations and walk there. Accordingly, the local municipality assigned a taffmember

tofollow-up and guide these groups in thois locations.
14. Enhanced Community Coilective Work
By its nature, land development required more collaboration with different
stakeholders as well as collective work actions. Farmer ben eficiaries coordinated
among themselves to make the work more efficient and effective. This approach
enhanced the culture of collective work and considered the general interest at the
expense of individual ones.
15. The Confidence in Clvii Local Institutions is strengthened
This project increased the level of confidence of ben eficiaries in their civil and local
institutions, specifically that the projectfield supervisors, as well as technical managers
of the project, worked closely with the beneficiaries in high transparency, withfairness,
and in a professional way. As a result, some interviewed farmers confirmed other
farmers, who couldn’t benefit from this project, decided to solicit other land
development opportunities where the majority of them succeeded in their endeavours.
16. More workers & created working days
According to the project record sheets, 43,774 working days are created until
December 2019, which represents 88% of the expected number until the end of the
project. Of them, 5,421 workers benefitted from the land development interventions
specifically land reclamation & rehabilitation, and agricultural roads opening.
17. More Permanent Job Opportunities
Through land development, manyfarmers decided to leave working in the surrounding
Israeli colon les and decided to work back to their lands. This created permanent job
opportunities for them and theirfamilies.

23. Other Women became more positively influenced to claim their inheritance
rights
In addition to the various sessions to encourage women to claim their inheritance
rights, the actual success stones of women who claimed their rights and benefitted
from the land development interven tions inspired and influenced other women to claim
their land inheritance rights.
confirmed that aftr the awareness sessions attended by 25 women, majority of
them started actually reclaim their rights from their relatives, and some of them have
acctually succeceded in getting her rights

Activity 1.3.3

Soil Erosion Risk Map, and Crop suitability map for Almond and Grapes were prepared for
217.70 dunums. Soil Erosion Risk Map and Suitability map was prepared by collecting 16 soil
samples and analysis to define the factors and limitations for both maps. Since soil erosion risk
map shows that 45 dunum of the study area has low risk for erosion, 77 dunum moderate and 95
dunum has a high risk for soil erosion. And for suitability for almond and grapes plantation, the
study shows that 43.76 dunum which represent 20.10% of the study area is marginally suitable
S3 for almond and 49.76 dunum which represent 22.85% is marginally suitable S3 for grapes,
which means this Land has severe limitations for sustained application of the land utilization for
these crops.

Seed Bank
Reporting period” 1/1/2019

—

31/12/2019

Local Seed Bank’s most significant achievements of 2019, each is a success and a
challenging story:
1) Development of reproduction and breeding units:
Reproduction units are considered the essential units of the Seed Bank, as they are the main
source of seeds, the bank’s valuable asset. Through years of past and current experiences gained
by working with male and female farmers, in addition to external training sessions for the Seed
Bank team at companies specialized in seeds pro duction, the units were significantly developed
and shifted from conventional production to intensive and environmentally smart production
that is compatible with the need of each variety. Among these techniques are protected
cultivation inside greenhouses using pollinators, cultivation in cages, intensive cultivation in
open units and also small tunnels in addition to the establishment of permanent reproduction
units for medicinal plants.

2) Higher seeds quality:
High standards are used before the introduction of samples to storage units to ensure a large,
viable and robust seed that will grow to become a strong and weather-tolerant “mother seedling”,
which is the basis for easier marketing and gaining people’s trust in a with a high-quality and
competitive product. The average germination rate for preserved and distributed seeds samples
is 95% compared to seeds on the market that do not exceed 80%.
The new seed cleaning line has allowed for higher production capacity, better quality and less
time and effort, which is truly a milestone on the road of developing the Seed Bank and its units.

3) Gaining the trust of the local community:

During the past years, especially in 2019, the bank was able to gain the confidence of many
members of society, from farmers, students, researchers and institutions. This is due to several
reasons, such as satisfactory results from trying our seeds once and requesting more in
subsequent seasons, visiting the bank and viewing the stages of extraction and cleaning and
witnessing the extent of development and professionalism of the bank, in addition to the quality
of the seeds distributed. In total, 601 beneficiaries were covered during 2019 and approximately
1,200 dunums were cultivated with rainfed crops as a new green space.
Moreover, the increasing demand for local seeds, considering the Seed Bank as a source of
guidance and reliable information and a certified place to provide services to farmers such as
cleaning machines and even storing samples for research all contribute to the increased
community trust in the Local Seed Bank.
4) Protection and preservation of new varieties:

During the past two years, no fewer than 20 new varieties were introduced to the Seed Bank
inventory, mainly rare and medicinal varieties, where the Seed Bank became the only source for
many of them, including local black Carrots, local white Cucumber, yellow Cauliflower, local
Tomatoes, and local Lettuce in addition to several medicinal and aromatic varieties. An internal
initiative was also launched aiming to contribute to the conservation of biological diversity,
which focuses on preserving endangered wild trees species, which have been compiled and
classified in cooperation with the Environmental Quality Authority.
5) The Seed Bank has become a specialized research and education center (children and
youth):

(Bothor) component included several activities related to raising awareness of the local
community, but most of them focused on theoretical workshops and lectures. However, during
the past year, these workshops were transformed into field days and practical training sessions
for school and university students, which left a significant impact on them and provided a good
promotion for the Seed Bank and UAWC. Nine local and international groups were welcomed at
the Seed Bank during the past year, which included schools and universities’ students,
institutions and the Ministry of Agriculture.

The workshops and the practical exercises left quite the impact on the children and young boys
and girls who participated in them. They are an essential age group that can be targeted to
introduce a new behavior or change one. Upon receiving the training, children are aware of and
have a dear view of local seeds and traditional environinental agriculture, the negative impact of
lieavy use of chemical and intensive cultivation. Among youth, the majority had a pre—formed
opinion on the subject, which is sometiiues difficult to influence or change. StilI, it is necessary to
show the other side and the vital effect of agriciilture not only as a profit but also as a societal and
eiwiroiunental responsibility.
6) Continuance of the Seed Bank:

Initiating the implementation of the marketing plan by designing and printing a logo for the Seed
Bank as a first step, followed by the 2019-2020 winter season, the first season to seli seeds to
beneficiaries without any decrease on the number of beneficiaries from the previous seasons.
Also, participating in local marketing activities in several governorates and with several
institutions and visiting companies and nurseries. In addition, several marketing options were
studied for several products in various stages of crop life, to provide a fixed and permaiwnt
income for several months during the year.
Completed activities in the project’s implementation phase:

3.1 Geological 1 nvestigation
After completing the geological investigation in the site in October 2018, see detailed geology
report that wa produced, the potentia location of the seepage and weakness zones have been
identified. in addition, location of rnonitoring boreholes as well as infiltration pits has also been
identified.

3.2 Drilling Monitoring Boreholes
Four monitonng boreholes was drilled outside
especiallv in the suspected weakness
and potential seepae zones mamlv the lefi and right contact pomis of dam bod with the
surrounding areas or strata However, one veI1 was placed right in the middie area in front of
