The project objectives of the Third On-farm Water Management Project are to: (a) increase agricultural production through effective use of water saved by improved water management; (b) strengthen the capability of the implementing agencies; (c) enhance farmer participation through stronger Water Users Associations (WUA); and (d) reduce government financial obligations through improved cost recovery programs. The project will provide civil works, equipment, technical assistance, training, and supervision and administration. Civil works include the renovation about 7,700 watercourses, precision leveling of 55,000 ha, and construction of 500 water storage tanks in the irrigated areas in the four provinces, the Federally Administrated Tribal Areas and the Northern Areas.
