English Abstract

This study tries to assess the contribution of the WFP Voucher Programme to the development of local food producers, whose products are being purchased by beneficiaries of the Voucher Programme in the Gaza Strip, in the four fields of quality, production, human resources management and marketing performance.

The study used the analytical descriptive approach to analyze the data collected through interviewed questionnaire distributed among the whole study population of 25 local food producers and through one focus group discussion conducted with eight shop-owners of the VP participating shops.

The time border for the study is from the beginning of the VP at 2009 until the end of 2014.

The study concluded that the contribution of the WFP VP to the quality development of the participating local food producers in the Gaza Strip is considered positive and moderate, with a mean of 63.36%.

While it showed a low contribution of the WFP VP to the production development with a mean of 55.29%.

The contribution of the WFP VP to the Human Resources Management development was small with a mean of 42.95%.

However, the study showed a positive contribution of the WFP VP to the marketing performance development of the participating local food producers in the GS, with a mean of 66.12%.

In view of the study's results, analysis, and conclusion; a set of recommendations were formulated and directed to the World Food Programme, local food producers and local authorities, which, if implemented, would hopefully maximize the potential impact of the WFP voucher programme on the local food industries in order to achieve a comprehensive and sustainable development in the Palestinian local economy.
