No results found.This good practice fact sheet highlights the need to address vulnerable beneficiaries’ limited access to water sources, as well as lack of financial resources and capital investment. Currently, water scarcity in the West Bank and Gaza Strip is characterized by challenges both of an environmental and human-made nature. Declining levels of water access, resulting from the combined effects of drought, dropping water tables and Israel-imposed restrictions on the construction and rehabilitation of we lls and water resources; has greatly impacted Palestinian water use. As water is an integral component of the agriculture sector, its availability at an acceptable and consistent level is a prerequisite for building sustainable and resilient livelihoods. -

No results found.Enduring the protracted crisis context of the West Bank and Gaza Strip as well as recurrent drought and overgrazing, herders face decreasing access to grazing land, thus increasing their dependency on imported fodder and making them more vulnerable to fodder price volatility. In an innovative effort to help mitigate the adverse impacts this situation has on the livelihoods of Palestinian herders, FAO promotes the use of hydroponic technology by vulnerable herders and their cooperatives, providin g them with a low-cost, high quality, sustainable source of fodder available year-round. This approach increases the profitability of livestock production and helps herders stay in business.
