Northern
Province Irrigation Rehabilitation Project – Phase II
The project area covered four separate irrigation schemes in the
Merowe district, targeting small-scale farmers whose livelihoods had
been severely affected by deterioration of the irrigation system.
The overall objective was to increase food production and the farm
incomes of small-scale farmers and rural women. Specifically the project
focused on:
- investing in irrigation rehabilitation
- financing investment in farm materials such as seed and fertilizer
- preventing further desertification
- building institutional support
