Abstract
The Palestinian Authority aims to create a vibrant agricultural innovation system (AIS) which
will ensure resilience of the agricultural sector and will contribute to development of the
Palestinian economy. The new system aims to strengthen the coordination between the
various partners and stakeholders in the applied agriculture research system by creating an
effective mechanism for coordination among all partners. It is anticipated that the new system
will also increase their contributions to resilience, food security, economic development,
poverty reduction, and effective utilization of natural resources. All these efforts will
ultimately lead to the creation of a sustainable institutional base in this vital sector in
Palestine. Over the period of this plan, we will rely on partner organizations’ strengths in
generating knowledge while simultaneously working towards fostering a culture in which
innovation plays an important role.
This strategic partnership is deemed vital because it will allow for the utilization of the
infrastructure capacities and human resources available in each organization. Such
collaboration will facilitate access to knowledge and resources among partners and farmers
alike, which will allow for establishing a viable research system. Though we invite all
relevant organizations to contribute to agriculture applied research, we encourage
specialization in research areas in order to increase each organization contribution to the
national research effort. This encompasses governmental, non-governmental and private
organizations which are active in agricultural research
