GUPAP initiative came within a project that was funded by SDC and implemented by Oxfam and RUAF in cooperation with key local organizations (2013-2017). ‘Facilitating urban and peri-urban agriculture in Gaza’ project was implemented with the aim to increase income for men and women engaged in small-scale urban and peri-urban agriculture in the Gaza Strip. Both project and GUPAP’s inter-related specific objectives (outcomes) revolve around service supply markets, extension services and enabling policy and governance frameworks.
