January 2019 - Palestinians face a long-term humanitarian crisis, with approximately 1 in 2 Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza requiring some form of humanitarian assistance. The impacts on vulnerable Palestinians include limited access to safe water and sanitation, persistent food and income insecurity, and the risk of sexual and gender-based violence. With GAC’s support, the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) supports the food security sector coordination platform to ensure the effective coordination of food security-related interventions pursued by national and international organizations in the West Bank and Gaza. Project activities include: (1) engaging food security actors in sharing information on planning, priorities and findings, and assessing gaps and areas of duplication; (2) building the capacity of organizations working in the food security sector in implementing gender-sensitive programming by providing these organizations with training, technical advice and analyses on gender-related issues in food security; (3) contributing to inter-sectorial coordination by identifying needs and response modalities that may require harmonized inter-cluster responses; and (4) rolling out the resilience marking exercise for the 2020 Humanitarian Response Plan for the West Bank and Gaza.
