The proposed operation aims to capitalize on irrigation infrastructure rehabilitation and strengthen select value chains to address food insecurity, enhance competitiveness and value addition, and provide employment opportunities especially for youth and women. This new operation seeks to support the GoS in revitalizing agriculture as a key contributor to its GDP and livelihood interventions. The rehabilitation efforts will be accompanied by carefully tailored institutional strengthening, targeted improvement in agricultural productivity, water use efficiency, farmer knowledge and skills with due consideration to the role of women in agriculture, climate resilience and adoption, agriculture supply chain, advisory and extension services, commercialization and competitiveness; institutional reforms and capacity building including climate resilience and adoption; and opportunities to leverage private sector participation. Selection and implementation of proposed rehabilitation works will be prioritized to target historically marginalized communities in an effort to maximize opportunities for community empowerment, value addition, creation of employment opportunities and strengthening service delivery at local levels. Further, the proposed operation will aim to enhance knowledge and technology transfer through the implementation of strategic pilots that will orient the revitalization of the country’s large-scale schemes.
