Book Developing the Occupied Territories  Agriculture

Download or read book Developing the Occupied Territories Agriculture written by and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economy of the Occupied Territories (OT) is currently in turmoil. Income levels have stagnated over the past decade; unemployment and underemployment are rising rapidly; public infrastructure and social services are grossly overstretched; and the fragile natural resource base is threatened with irreversible damage. This study aims to assess prospects for sustainable development in the OT, as well as outline a priority agenda of policy reforms, institutional development and investments needed to promote such growth. The report is in six volumes. Volume I provides a summary overview of the key findings and recommendations of the study. After commenting selectively on the current socioeconomic situation in the OT and its evolution over time, it discusses prospects for sustainable development in the future and outlines the priority agenda of policies and programs needed to promote such development. Volume II explores the strategic choices at the macro level that will be faced by the OT in the future and the implications for economic relations between the OT and the rest of the region. The study looks at the current situation and its evolution over the past 25 years. The study then examines several policy choices for the future affecting the structure of development in the OT. Finally, it outlines some illustrative scenarios for the future, focussing on the consequences of current developments in the region. Volume III reviews the performance of the private sector (including, in particular, the industry and tourism sectors) in the OT. The study assesses the environment in which the private sector operates and its future prospects and makes recommendations for accelerating private sector development in the future. Volume IV reviews the evolution and structure of the agricultural sector in the OT; analyzes its current characteristics; assesses OT competitiveness in the immediate and longer term; outlines the main policy options and their implications; and provides a preliminary assessment of sectoral financial and technical assistance (TA) needs. Volume V assesses the current situation in the infrastructure sectors (electricity, water supply and sanitation, transport, housing and solid waste services) in the OT; identifies the major issues confronting these sectors; and outlines priorities for TA and investment needs. As local authorities are major institutions in the delivery of public services in these sectors, the study also includes a review of their current situation and makes recommendations for improving the functioning of municipalities. Volume VI reviews the current status as regards human resource development; analyzes options for enhancing individual welfare and labor productivity in the OT; and outlines investment and TA priorities for strengthening existing programs and for laying the foundation for later reforms.

Book Dunam After Dunam

Download or read book Dunam After Dunam written by Sharmeen (Lamya) Hussain and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of ongoing Israeli settler-colonial practices, Palestinian farming communities and arable lands remain vulnerable to forced annexation and displacement. Historically, Palestinians are a farming and rural society, whereby the agriculture sector has notably supported community livelihoods while adding substantially to the national local economy. Since, the inception of the state of Israel a steady decline in the Palestinian agriculture sector is witnessed due to the growing hegemonic control of lands and natural resources. More acutely, since 1967 Israel maintains military and settler control of the Jordan Valley, a key area that is both logistically and naturally rich with the potential to advance the Palestinian access to resources and sustainable development. This research investigates how Israeli occupation and settler-colonial practices have led to the de-development of the Palestinian agriculture sector. It examines in particular the impact of growing settlement-led agribusinesses that benefit from access to natural resources in order to maximize profits via globalized trade. In addition, this thesis aims to shed light on: (i) the role of the international assistance program in engaging with the occupied Palestinian territories in a manner which has actually reduced the resilience of rural communities; (ii) the limitations of the Palestinian Authority and related ministries in developing and building a viable agriculture sector; (iii) the rising influence of the Palestinian private sector which seeks to enhance cooperation with Israeli middlemen and partners in pursuit of long-term access and profit. In highlighting the aforementioned areas that are central to its purpose, this thesis focused in particular on the network of 'herbs' farmers--both Israeli settlement-based and Palestinian-run--in its pursuit of an overall understanding of the transitions, challenges and barriers facing the Palestinian agriculture sector.
