DJ-Rural Community Development and Water Mobilization Project (PRODERMO)

closed

The objective of the Rural Community Development and Water Mobilization (PRODERMO) Project for Djibouti is to increase access of rural communities to water and enhance their capacity to manage water and agro-pastoral resources in the project areas using a participatory approach to community-based development. There are three components to the project, the first component being priority community investment subprojects. This component will finance priority community investments in the project areas contemplated in annual hydraulic and pastoral planning schemes, which are formulated and prioritized by the targeted communities through a participatory approach and in accordance with the project operations manual. The second component is the capacity building and provision of technical assistance. This component will finance capacity building and technical assistance to the implementing agency (the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries in Charge of Water Resources, or MAEM-RH) and its Project Management Unit (PMU), as well as to community development committees (CPLs) and grassroots organizations (water user associations, community groups, etc.) targeted by the project in order to support the formulation and implementation of participatory annual hydraulic and pastoral planning schemes in the project areas. Finally, the third component is the project coordination and management. This component will support the PMU through the provision of goods, works, consultant services, training and incremental operating costs associated with project management, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and audits.
