The Water Resources and Irrigation Sector Management Program for Indonesia aims to implement water sector reforms in approximately half of the country. Because of the weak capacity and lack of governance experience at local government level, and among the farmer-irrigators, it i s expected that such program w i l l require approximately 10 years. With the parallel support of ADB and JBIC, it i s expected that the whole country can be covered in this time span. The Program's objectives are: (a) Sustainable and equitable management of surface water resources and their utilization infrastructure by: (i) transparent sector governance institutions and, (ii) more accountable and better performing sector agencies. (b) Increased irrigation farm household incomes and improved regional food security as result of raising the overall productivity irrigated agriculture and reducing it s vulnerability to natural and economic shocks through: (i) sustainable participatory irrigation management for more reliable and equitable water provision and, (ii) better agricultural and marketing support services for members of irrigation water user associations. (c) More cost-effective andfiscally sustainable management of sector agencies. There are two main project components. Component 1, Basin Water Resources Management, assists in establishing and/or strengthening sector governance, planning, management capacity, and fiscal and cost recovery for national water agencies/institutions; supports an operational and monitoring system for hydrology, water allocation, basin water quality, flood management as well as a program for river infrastructure management and repair, and establishment of a national water quality monitoring network system. This component also supports a national capacity building network for water resources and irrigation management. Component 2 focuses on Participatory Irrigation Management. It helps build the capacity of water users associations, and improves institutional capacity and operation, and infrastructure of irrigation departments at the kabupaten level.
