    Also available in:
    This strategy directly contributes to the State of Palestine’s approach to integrate in global market systems through focusing on the adaptation of national monitoring and food safety systems with the requirements to join various relevant international conventions, treaties and organisations. Additionally, it emphasises the commitment of the State of Palestine to build a comprehensive system - based on optimal international standards, as well as scientific procedures and rules to monitor and ensure food safety. This strategy is also connected the Palestinian Development Plan 2017-2022 which is reflected in the National Policy Agenda in various sectorial and cross-sectorial strategies. Specifically, it is aligned with the 2017-2022 sectorial strategies for agriculture, national economy, health and education, as well as the strategy of the Palestinian Standards Institute such that it complements some of the programmes and activities of those strategies and contributes to the achievement of their goals.

    Ensuring consumer protection and food safety and quality is essential to safeguarding the health and well-being of Palestinian people; as well as to accessing domestic, regional and international markets. However, constant threats from animal diseases and plant pests and diseases put the food safety of Palestinian consumers at risk. These problems are compounded by the limited capacity of local authorities in monitoring, inspecting and controlling the food value chain, and in regulating and providing Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) services in the framework of a sustainable national SPS system. In addition, small-scale herders, particularly in Gaza Strip, are adversely affected by a lack of resources and essential services, as well as having limited access to animal health services, which are indispensable for protecting livestock from disease outbreaks. The project aimed to enhance the design and implementation of better policies and regulatory frameworks for public sector institutions, and to improve the provision of public services related to plant protection, food safety and quality, as well as animal health.
