MA’AN Development Center, in partnership with the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture, completed agricultural roads totaling 5.7 kilometers in the villages of Kafr Dan, Ti’inik, and Silat al-Harithiya in Jenin Governorate.

The roads were inaugurated by the Governor of Jenin, Mr. Kamal Abu al-Rub, with the participation of MA’AN’s Office Director, Mr. Hassan Abu al-Rub, and Jenin Agriculture Directorate representative, Mr. Bassem Hammad. Representatives of official institutions, the local community, and beneficiary farmers also attended.
These interventions responded to needs and priorities identified by local communities and were implemented under the “Livelihoods, Infrastructure and Food Systems Transformation – LIFT Palestine” project, funded by the Government of Sweden, managed by We Effect, and implemented by MA’AN Development Center in partnership with the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture.
The project aims to improve infrastructure supporting agricultural production, promote sustainable food systems and livelihoods, and strengthen rural communities’ ability to cultivate and protect their land.
During the inauguration, participants emphasized the importance of continued cooperation among public institutions, civil society organizations, and local communities to address farmers’ needs. They also expressed appreciation for the support of the Government of Sweden and the role of We Effect in improving agricultural infrastructure and strengthening farmers’ livelihoods and resilience.
