The objective of the Irrigation and Watershed Management Project for Madagascar is to sustainably increase agricultural productivity in four high potential watershed areas and their associated irrigation schemes. There are three components to the project. The first component is the development of commercial agriculture. The component includes the project area as a whole: both irrigated and upland or tanety areas. Its specific objective will be achieved through an approach focused on market-driven demand, agricultural technology development and dissemination, private sector initiative and vertical integration of supply chains, as well as promotion of partnerships among stakeholders (including public-private partnerships). The second component is the watershed development. The objective of this component is to lay the foundations for sustainable management of watersheds including irrigated and rainfed agriculture, the conservation of the natural heritage, and improved productivity of the natural resources. Finally, the third component is the program management. The objective of this component is to manage and use resources in accordance with the project's objectives and procedures, and to put in place a policy framework that is favorable to upscaling of the project at the national level.
