This proposal is designed to build capacity and address above outlined barriers to Climate Change adaption by strengthening the inter-institutional cooperation and knowledge on CRA, strengthen the agro-met system and the ability of Palestine to produce real time weather information for small-holder farmers, create an inventory and design two Climate Resilient Agriculture test plots in close collaboration with small-holder farming associations, and support enhanced private sector engagement in Climate Change resilient agriculture value chains.  

The focus of this proposal is in line with the Country Programme for the Green Climate Fund (2019), the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) 2016, the National Determined Contributions (NDCs) 2017, as well as relevant national initiatives and projects, which all underline the vulnerability of the agriculture sector to Climate Change and extreme events while emphasizing the urgency to support this sector to adapt to Climate Change.
