About the Project
This project is implemented by the Palestinian Food and Agriculture Industries Union (PFAIU) in collaboration with Enabel, the Belgian agency for international cooperation, and is funded by the Government of Belgium under the Green West Bank intervention. The project aims to promote sustainable practices within the Palestinian food sector, with a focus on improved waste management, renewable energy, energy efficiency, and the reinforcement of relevant regulatory frameworks. A key objective of the project is to advance Green, Circular, and Environmental (GCE) practices across the sector through targeted training and capacity-building activities. As part of this effort, PFAIU will organize awareness workshops designed to equip senior management within the olive oil and processed fruits and vegetables sub-sectors with the knowledge and skills required to support and implement GCE practices effectively. These initiatives reflect PFAIU’s broader commitment to fostering a more sustainable, resilient, and environmentally responsible food industry in Palestine.
The Palestinian Food and Agriculture Industries Union (PFAIU), in partnership with Enabel, invites qualified and experienced consulting firms to submit quotations for the provision of institutional development services. This assignment is part of the project titled “Towards Sustainable Green Circular Food Industries,” implemented under the Green West Bank intervention and funded by the Government of Belgium.
The selected consulting firm will be responsible for reviewing and updating PFAIU’s internal, administrative, and financial regulations, as well as its organizational structure. The assignment also includes drafting the mandate for the project’s Steering Committee and developing terms of reference for a specialized GCE unit. The objective is to strengthen PFAIU’s governance and operational frameworks in alignment with Green Circular Economy (GCE) principles, ensuring effective and sustainable project implementation.
