closed

The Irrigation Rehabilitation Project will: (a) increase agricultural production by raising farm productivity through rapid rehabilitation of the existing irrigation and drainage infrastructure; (b) alleviate poverty by increasing income of small private farmers and creating employment opportunities for dependent farm labor in rural areas; and (c) ensure the long-term sustainability of irrigation and drainage investments through farmer participation in operation and maintenance, efficient system management and adequate cost recovery. In order to achieve the above the project will specifically focus on: (a) system rehabilitation; (b) institutional development; (c) policy support; and (d) implementation support.
