Goal The Project would contribute to poverty reduction and increase in household incomes
as well as to the increased participation of women in water and land management, and in marketing.
Objectives In line with the goal and the project implementation and gender strategy, the Project would pursue two objectives:
| i |
Irrigation infrastructure has been improved and is effectively managed by Local Government and Farmer Organizations (FOs) including women, the latter applying water saving management methods. Appropriate environment and climate change adaptation and mitigation measures are applied.
|
| ii |
Water and land productivity have been sustainably improved and farm production is meeting effective and premium demand from corporate buyers through forward contracting and other market agreements. As such household incomes have increased, exceeding the poverty line.
