Irrigation Rehabilitation Project

The objectives of the Irrigation Rehabilitation and Restructuring Project are 1) to enable private farmers to fully regain the potential of the irrigated agriculture sector through rehabilitating three deteriorated irrigation schemes with high priorities; and 2) to enhance the sustainability and efficiency of the irrigation schemes by introducing participatory management. The project consists of the following five components: 1) rehabilitating irrigation infrastructure in three regions including Tikves, Bregalnica, and Polo; 2) an institutional development program including subcomponents of: a) a series of pilot programs to develop water user associations (WUAs), improve on-farm irrigation practices, and explore the possibilities for user participation in minor repairs; b) a study on Bregalnica water resource management; and c) support to restructuring water management organizations (WMOs) through legal advice and technical support; 3) a technical studies program for specific problems including dam safety, algae, and repair of the systems; 4) project administration and monitoring; and 5) implementation support for WMOs.**
