FLO in Palestine - Sunday 19.12.2010

Today I held a training meeting with UAWC - Union of Agricultural Work Committees, which provides technical support to Palestinian farmers and helps them market their produce.

They recently had a Fairtrade surveillance audit, which is the second audit they go through, and it went very well. They had very few non-compliance issues, which we discussed. The meeting was held in ‘Assira Al Qibliya in the South of Nablus.

Na'im Rashed of Beit Leed (in the photo above), a member of the UAWC, mentioned “We still need support to open road to access the trees that are not easily accessible.”
