Irrigation,
Rural Livelihoods and Agricultural Development Project
The project, co-financed with the World Bank, will increase the incomes and agricultural productivity of poor small-scale farmers. In response to the current food crisis in the country, the project will provide farmers with seeds and fertilizer to restore agricultural production. To reduce the risks associated with rainfed farming, the project will also support rehabilitation and development of new irrigation systems, reservoirs and rainwater harvesting structures.
Farmers will gain access to support services that will enable them to improve marketing of their produce. The project will also strengthen local government institutions and support capacity-building for farmers and their organizations.
IFAD interventions are designed to sharpen the project’s focus through better targeting and an emphasis on the development of small-scale and mini-scale irrigation schemes.
