Small-Scale
Flood Control, Drainage and Irrigation Project
In this project IFAD worked with the Government
of Bangladesh to increase food grain production, farm incomes and
rural employment opportunities. The main activities supported by the
project were designed to reduce the depth, intensity and incidence
of flooding in order to increase crop yields from one to two harvests
per year and to make those harvests more abundant. The project also
introduced a new rice variety that produced higher yields. In addition,
improved farm technology and management practices were implemented.
