Who We Are

Tasdeer is a seven-and-a-half-year, £30 million private sector development programme funded by the UK government. It is implemented by Cowater UK Limited in partnership with Core Associates, Business Integrated Solutions (BIS), and Al Athar Global Consulting Inc.

Tasdeer aims to support the development of the Palestinian economy by improving the private sector’s competitiveness and Palestinian Authority’s capacity in trade, customs, and import policy regulation. We aim to increase sustainable private sector-led economic growth and job creation in Palestine, supporting the Palestinian Authority’s fiscal sustainability while promoting equitable access to the benefits of increased trade and improved institutional capacity.

Tasdeer works in partnership with the Ministries of Economy and Finance, as well as the Ministry of Industry and other government ministries and institutions, and public and private sector organisations, as a strategic initiative to support and strengthen the role of the private sector as a key driver of economic development.

Tasdeer implements direct interventions in collaboration with private sector institutions, including the Federation of Palestinian Industries (PFI), PalTrade, the Palestine Standards Institution, the Agricultural Development Association (PARC), Palestine Post, as well as a range of industrial federations and chambers of commerce. These partnerships aim to strengthen the long-term role of these institutions in supporting and developing Palestinian businesses.

Tasdeer also works directly with Palestinian companies and factories to support Palestinian products, strengthen their competitiveness, and help them access and develop local and international markets.
