AKLI BALADI. LOCAL FOOD POLICIES FOR ITALIAN AND PALESTINIAN CITIES

About this project

The “AKLI Baladi” (Arabic for Eat Local) project aims to contribute to the development of inclusive, sustainable and resilient urban food policies in Palestinian cities in the West Bank.

A fundamental right that must be all the more guaranteed at a time when the Gaza war has had reflected effects in the neighbouring West Bank, including the abrupt and sudden rise in unemployment rates of the Palestinian population and further difficulties to the mobility of people and food goods. The proposed actions are based on well-established past partnerships, represent implementations or reinforcement of past actions however each has its own peculiarity of innovation and capacity for change, both individually and in coordination with each other. The state of security in the West Bank Palestinian Territories has been taken into account in the design, specifically selecting governorates that do not present high risks of instability at this time, contemplating actions that can be implemented mainly remotely in the first few years. The objective of the project is to strengthen the governance of local food system actors in the governorates of West Bank (Palestinian Authority)…
