WADI HADRAMAWT II

closed

The Second Wadi Hadramawt Agricultural Development Project will increase agricultural production and farm income on about 3,225 ha of principally well irrigated lands in the Wadi Hadramawt subgovernorate by intensifying the groundwater irrigation system in the project area within the Wadi Hadramawt and by providing technical assistance, farmer and technician training, farm inputs and agricultural equipment and research for the project area. It will also include the rehabilitation and improvement of the spate irrigation network, demonstration of date palm rehabilitation and overhead irrigation systems, feasibility studies for a possible follow-up project, and flood and erosion control studies for all major agricultural valleys in PDRY. The project will benefit directly 925 families. In addition, 200,000 persons will benefit indirectly from the project through the increased availability of foodstuffs.
