National Food and Nutrition Security Policy (2019-2030)

The National Food and Nutrition Security Policy (NFNSP) is a strategic policy consisting of a comprehensive and coordinated set of measures needed to ensure food and nutrition security in Palestine over the years 2019-2030. NFNSP was developed through a broad-based and deep consultation process that started in early March 2018 and ended in September 2018. Effective stakeholders’ involvement and active participation guarantee a high degree of ownership. In developing the NFNSP, a huge amount of studies available on food and nutrition security (FNS) and related topics in Palestine have been reviewed. Moreover, all existing policy frameworks have been analyzed to ensure harmonization and alignment with the fourth Palestine National Development Plan 2017-2022. Being a strategic document, NFNSP provides the broad architecture for operational plans such as programs and projects. Specifically, the NFNSP is part of a package including also a National Investment Plan (NIP) for food and nutrition security that will be developed from September 2018 on. These two documents are a coordinated set of policy tools aiming at pursuing food and nutrition security in Palestine.
