Palestine Trade Centre (PalTrade) and the Palestine Shippers Council (PSC) have undertaken the “Trade Corridors’ Facilitation Project” financed by the EU. This project aims to promote and facilitate the use of alternative trade corridors for Palestinian trade. Therefore, the project targets neighboring Arab countries in an attempt to improve market access and reduce the high costs of Israeli routes. The over-all objective of this project is to address the urgent needs generated by the protracted conflict, and to support the private sector’s efforts in developing long-term 1trade. This can be achieved through:

a. Contribution to Palestinian economic development and trade expansion;
b. Assessment and identification of trade corridors development interventions; and
c. Promotion of trade efficiency and facilitation in all stages of the logistical chain via neighboring Arab countries.
