This project is a continuation of previous phases and remains unique as the sole initiative focusing on good governance in cooperatives. It operates on principles of local empowerment, participatory governance, demand-responsiveness, and enhanced local capacity.
The overarching goal of this project is to actively contribute to just, resilient, and sustainable rural development in Palestine by 2027. The aim is to be a voice and provide quality services, ensuring the right to food for all rights-holders, with a particular emphasis on women and young people. This goal is informed by the experiences and feedback received during the previous project (2018-2022), which highlighted the crucial role of ARIJ as a platform and advocate for the rights-holders. Their aspirations and input will continue to shape the proposed project and guide other actions undertaken by ARIJ. Furthermore, recognizing the importance of empowering the targeted rights-holders, the specific objective of this project is to create a better enabling environment that addresses the priorities of Palestinian cooperatives by 2027.
The project is organized into four result areas, each with its own focus and objectives:
Result Area 1: Organizational Governance and Capacity Development
Result Area 2: Food Security and Sustainable Livelihoods
Result Area 3: Climate Change and Resilience
Result Area 4: Gender Equality and Human Rights
