MAHAWELI GANGA II

closed

The Second Mahaweli Ganga Development Project will be the first major development of new lands located in Sri Lanka's north-central dry zone, covered by the Government's Mahaweli Master Plan. The Project builds on experience gained from ongoing irrigation/settlement works in the area, as well as previous schemes elsewhere in Sri Lanka, and is designed with the view to replication in the future. It provides for irrigation works and land development, agricultural production support, and social infrastructure required for completing Stage II of the Government's Plan. The project includes major components for: irrigation infrastructure; on-farm development; equipment, vehicles, and facilities; agricultural extension and research; farm equipment; storage, marketing, and processing; market roads; schools, medical, and community facilities; village and roads, settler assistance; and technical assistance.
