Pasta. As requested by USAID, a Palestinian dairy company was also selected as a case study. Additionally, the consultants identified 37 potential companies, of which the Core Group companies were to be chosen. The NAS was completed by the researchers at the close of FY16 and submitted to the Xxxxx Center for final editing. As the NAS is a lengthy and largely technical document, it was decided that rather than printing the NAS in its entirety, it would be best to develop and print infographic brochures that will convey the main points of the report. These brochures will be developed and printed in FY17. Additionally, at the close of the study, the findings were presented in a round table workshop to international stakeholders as part of the project’s advocacy activities.
Pasta. As requested by USAID, a Palestinian dairy company was also selected as a case study. The consultants identified 37 potential companies, from which the Core Group was to be chosen. A meeting between the partners to define the parameters of the business consulting process was also held during Q3, on June 14, 2016. In late June 2016, the Xxxxx Center published the terms of reference for the Israeli consultants and began reviewing quotations. In parallel, XxxXxxxx began recruitment of the Core Group companies during the month of June, notifying business owners of the B2B program and gauging their interest. 13 companies which were identified by the partners and wished to participate signed a memorandum of understanding and were submitted for vetting. Their vetting was approved in Q3. Informed by the NAS recommendations, an advocacy action plan was created to reach out to Israeli food industry professionals and other relevant stakeholders. The first advocacy event, a round table workshop on the NAS, was scheduled for Q4. The design of visibility props had begun as part of preparation for this event, as well as for future general project activities. At the beginning of Q4 of FY16 the NAS entered the final stages of editing. Two additional Core Group companies were identified and submitted for vetting and were approved. Recruitment of the Palestinian consultant was finalized, while the partners continued to negotiate with suitable candidates for the position of Israeli Business Consultant. Additionally, a Round Table advocacy event was held on Sept 7th, 2016 in which the NAS findings were presented to various international stakeholders. Further, a baseline assessment questionnaire was developed by the external evaluator in accordance with the project indicators, to be administered at the beginning of the business consultation. A revised Implementation Plan and Monitoring Evaluation Plan for FY17 was also submitted to USAID which was intended to help the partners overcome the project delay which occurred as a result of the vetting process.
