Steadfastness and Resilience

 

Program Objective: to enhance the steadfastness and resilience of farmers.

 

The aim of this program is to enhance the steadfastness and resilience of farmers and empower them by facilitating access to their lands and to the resources necessary for agricultural production and development, especially in vulnerable areas near the wall and in areas known as “C” and Jerusalem. The program offers infrastructure services such as land rehabilitation and reclamation, improved agricultural roads, expanded water networks, alternative energy solutions, and training in modern agricultural techniques. Additionally, the program works to enhance the resilience of farmers by supporting them in addressing the impacts of climate change and natural disasters, and providing access to agricultural loans and insurance services. The program also promotes human rights and legal awareness, and offers legal support and protection services to confront violations of humanitarian law from the occupation.
