Project interventions (studies) helped to
point out solutions for some problems in the
Basin…need to establish appropriate
channels to influence decision-makers;
Need to establish appropriate mechanisms to
share the experiences and results from the
project;
Need to establish effective linkages between
the researchers, extension officers & farmers;

Future interventions should consider de impact of
climate change on sowing dates vs. appropriate
RWHT;

More applied research on the Northern dry areas of
Gaza Province targeting RW vs. small dams

RWHT should be tested and promoted in regions
where farmers do not have alternative to rainfed
agricultures (irrigation & wetlands – machongo)
