seen as a najor principle in a Palestinian agricultural policy.
within this context, Chapter XI proposed several important institutional
adjustments which would help accelerate agricultural development.
This involves fundanental changes in institutions dealing with
planning, research extension, education, finance, marketing and
cooperatives.
Chapters XII and XIII were devoted respectively to the development
of rainfed trees and crops, and poultry and livestock providing
specific options for policy makers and potential donors.
Monetary cost estimates
Because this research was conducted over a limited period of time
within an academic context, and because monetary estimates would
lose some of their real value by the time this study was completed,
it was decided not to engage in detailed monetary assessments of
cost estimates of proposed projects. Admittedly, this was a
difficult decision to mke, because it would be very useful for
implenentation purposes to include such estinates.
However, the researcher has conducted a provisional assessment
of costs which would help give a general idea on the capital
requirements of the various proposed projects (see Table xIV-1),

respectively, for the second and third years (approximately £8 m,
£10.2 m, £13.9 m respectively).
No effort has been made to isolate the basic coaponents of the
needed outlays in terms of source (equity vs. loans) or credit
Tating (loans vs. subsidies). Clearly, there are marked variations
in this regard among projects. Besides, these issues will have to
be decided at the senior managenent level within credit and donor
Agencies themselves. During the researcher's inquiries with i
