Description
Description | The objectives of the Irrigation Rehabilitation Project for Tunisia, which are in line with the objectives of the 1973-76 plan, are to: (a) use the existing irrigation infrastructure more fully and more effectively; (b) raise incomes of small farmers by intensifying and diversifying the cropping patterns; (c) increase security of tenure and accessibility to adequate agricultural credit; (d) provide needed public services together with assistance to the project authorities; and (e) improve housing conditions for the lowest income farmers in the Medjerda. The Government of Tunisia has requested a Bank loan to help finance subprojects in the Lower Medjerda Valley (Medjerda) and East-Central Tunisia (Nebhana) comprising: rehabilitation of the existing irrigation, drainage, and road networks; construction of rural infrastructure; on-farm development; and strengthening of management, extension, marketing services and employment of consultants. The project also includes assistance in land reform in Nebhana through land consolidation and establishment of farm titles as well as in the preparation of detailed engineering designs and feasibility studies for future on-farm development. In addition, the project will finance a land reform specialist to strengthen the Ministry of Agriculture's Directorate of Land Affairs and Legislation (DAFL) in its nationwide operations. |
