Brief Description
This proposal builds upon the Government of Japan’s (GoJ) assistance to the Palestinian People, and in
particular through its “Corridor for Peace and Prosperity” initiative for the construction of the Jericho
Agro-Industrial Park (JAIP Park) in order to stimulate and boost the Palestinian economy through
supporting the export of agricultural products.
This project, in partnership with Japan under the Supplementary Budget support from Japan for the
Fiscal Year 2014, aims at providing support/stimulus to economic activity in the West Bank through
construction of additional and urgent supporting facilities in the JAIP which will positively impact the
service availability of the JAIP park facility for a quick functionality by the involved stakeholders, and
contributing to increased employment in Jericho and the surrounding area.
This project, through the construction of Industrial hangars in the Jericho Agro Industrial Park, is a
second phase of ongoing support under the Supplementary Budget support from Japan for the Fiscal
Year 2013.
Beneficiaries of the project include the Palestinian Government, through the Palestinian Industrial
Estates and Free Zones Authority (PIEFZA), the local developer team, international and local investors,
labourers, young graduates, school students, and tenants of JAIP Park. Do we have a rough estimate of
the amount of people/beneficiaries?
As a result of the implementation of this project, 2,000 workdays for unemployed residents(how many),
who reside in the West Bank and Jordan valley and Jericho town in particular, will be generated.
Field visits and technical meetings with the JAIP park stakeholders, including PIEFZA, the developer
company Jericho Agro Industrial Park/JAIP, JICA, UNDP/PAPP, Representaitve Office of Japan (RoJ)
and Palestinian Real Estate Investment Company/PRICO, were held before and during the preparation
of this project document in order to identify the most urgent needs in terms of JAIP park necessities
and address them with the most effective and adequate initiatives, and to provide technical information
for planning and future implementation of the same.
The intervention is framed in a strategy of continuity with previous and future JAIP park phases.

SITUATION ANALYSIS
While peace talks between the Palestinians and Israelis continue to remain at an impasse, the Government
of Japan (GoJ) has launched an initiative to create a “corridor for peace and prosperity”. This confidence
building measure is meant to support projects that promote regional cooperation between the Israelis,
Palestinians, and Jordanians, and to enhance economic development by providing opportunities for local
producers.
The Jordan Valley region, in particular the ancient Palestinian town of Jericho, has been selected as the
target region for the implementation of the initiative. The selection of the region is based upon the region’s
economic and tourism potential, as well as border and transport proximity to the other regional partners.
The core project under the initiative is to establish an Agro-Industrial Park in Jericho. To this end, the
Government of Japan has been working together with the Palestinian Industrial Estate & Free Zone
Authority (PIEFZA), a national authority falling under the Ministry of National Economy (MoNE's) auspices
that would service the location of the future Agro-Industrial Park. The town of Jericho and the Jordan Valley
have some of the lowest unemployment rates at 13%, when compared to the overall country, and can be
improved through strengthening the agricultural and tourism sectors. due to its agricultural and tourism
sectors.
The volatile Palestinian context, increased unemployment and social disintegration as a result of the
imposed closures and the ongoing occupation, and derived military and security tensions, render this
intervention of the utmost urgency in order to provide for the needed service facilities, to start up the
completed JAIP activities to become the basis for the development of future activities.
As part of the GoJ’s assistance to the Palestinian People, and in the framework of this initiative, the
following six phases have already been funded by RoJ and implemented by UNDP/PAPP:
1.
Rehabilitation works for 1.8 Km connecting road, completed and handed over.
2.
Excavation and levelling works for 115 dunums, completed,
3.
Construction of a 2.15-kilometer transport line, 1.5 kilometre 4” line, and the construction of a 500
cubic meter water tank, completed.
4.
Construction and furnishing of the Palestinian Industrial Estate Free Zone Authority –PIEFZAAdministration Building at the Jericho Agro-Industrial Park (1 dunum), and excavation and levelling
works for 4 dunums. On-going.
5.
Construction of an electrical substation, the supply and installation of a 15MVA transformer and all
corresponding material and equipment, and connection to the Jerusalem District Electricity
Company (JDECO) distribution grid. On-going.
6.
Jericho Agro-Industrial Park (JAIP) Phase 6 - Support to Industrial Services. On-going
The JAIP project is estimated to benefit the population on the socio-economic development aspect, by
providing employment opportunities, as well as sustaining the scale up of the national rural economy by
building on the strength of the potential agro-industrial capital of the Jericho region.
Industrial Park Development is widely recognized as an effective methodology to accelerate
industrialization in Palestine. The JAIP is part of an economic development strategy which includes a
number of Industrial Parks that are planned in several locations in the West Bank (Jenin, Bethlehem, &
Hebron) to stimulate economic growth.
It is expected that the JAIP 1 & 2 will attract over 100 tenants. Already 42 singed memoranda of
understanding (MOU’s) with the Developer, while 13 of them signed lease contracts. The average number
of employees per factory is estimated at 20, thus JAIP project is going to impact around 2,000 persons
directly and another 3,000 persons indirectly through improving the agriculture sector and other various
economic activities.

II.
STRATEGY
The United Nations Development Programme/Programme of Assistance to the Palestinian People
(UNDP/PAPP) will act as the Executing/Implementing agency for this project. It will engage top-quality
experienced local experts and professionals to ensure quality, timely & effective planning, design, and
implementation of the project. UNDP/PAPP will work in close cooperation, coordination and partnership
with its Palestinian counterparts, in particular the Palestinian Industrial Estate & Free Zone Authority
(PIEFZA) on all technical and functional components of the project in all phases. UNDP/PAPP team will also
be involved to provide capacity building interventions to assist the project owners, if and once identified
and requested by PIEFZA.
The project is part of a comprehensive plan which aims at providing a fully functional and operational
services to the Jericho Agro Industrial Park, as well as contributing towards the development of private
sector in the Jordan valley.
The project will be implemented towards advancing the following objectives, based upon the Corridor for
Peace and Prosperity concept and on the High Impact Micro Infrastructure Initiatives strategy:

To establish a viable state for Palestinians, accompanied with sustainable economic development,
through the strengthening of their partnerships with neighbouring countries.

The role of the private sector, coupled with the development of the public-private partnership (PPP),
is crucial for achieving sustainable economic development. In the West Bank, agriculture and agroindustry could be a driving force for sustainable economic development.
As such, the “construction of agro-industrial business parks will be a significant component” for Economic
and Private Sector Development Section as outlined in the Palestinian Government’s Palestinian National
Development Plan for 2011-2013 – Ending the Occupation/ Building the State, and is in line with the Jericho
Regional Development Study.
Field visits and technical meetings with the JAIP stakeholders, including PIEFZA, JAIP, JICA, PIEFZA,
UNDP/PAPP, RoJ and PRICO, were held before and during the preparation of this project document in order
to identify the most urgent needs in terms of JAIP necessities and address them with the most effective and
adequate initiatives, and to provide technical information for planning and future implementation of the
same. The intervention is framed in a strategy of continuity with previous and future JAIP phases.
III.a: The Project Scope
Outcome: Providing increased access to sustainable, equitable and affordable social, public and economic
infrastructure.
The project aims to supply the Jericho Agro-Industrial Park JAIP with services that will support the
functionality and accessibility of the JAIP facility for the developers and investors.
The project scope will include:

Support of employment generation in the West Bank (Industrial hangars) which will comprise
construction of a number of industrial hangars of approximately 8,000 square meters (depending on
actual tender prices) to provide additional space and logistical support for future tenants.

III.b: Breakdown
Support of employment generation in the West Bank (Industrial Hangar)
Project Justification
JAIP Co. Has recently built two industrial hangars in the JAIP premises with a total area of approximately
7,000 square meters for the use of future tenants. Having available space for future tenants proved to be an
important asset which can attract tenants and be of immediate use for the quick start of the JAIP activities.
In this framework, the Governments of Japan has provided funding through another project to build
additional hangars of approximately 8,000 square meters, which will be built with the similar technical
specifications of the existing JAIP hangars.
Through this project, a number of hangars will be provided for use of future tenants in order to support
logistics and operational activities. Depending on actual tender prices and funding availability, it is
estimated that the total area of the hangars to be built through this project will be around 8,000 square
meters.
Objective:
Provision of working and functional areas through the construction of industrial hangars for warehouse and
operational purposes.
Expected Outputs:
1. Industrial hangars for warehouse and operational purposes are constructed
2. Logistics and service delivery are improved
Activities
Construction of approximately 8,000 square meters of industrial hangars (depending on actual tender prices
and funding availability) to provide additional space and logistical support for future tenants.
