HUGHES, H. | SNELL, S.
The Second On-Farm Water Management Project will consolidate the gains and address the weaknesses of the first On-Farm Water Management (OFWM) Project and similar components under other projects. Project objectives will be to: a) reduce irrigation water losses at the farm level; b) increase agricultural production through more efficient use of water; and c) increase farmer participation in Water Users Associations in order to improve management of water and non-water farm inputs and ensure adequate maintenance of civil works. It will also aim to; d) improve the capability of the provincial governments to plan and execute expanding OFWM programs; and e) strengthen the water management expertise of the provincial Agricultural Extension Services as well as their coordination and cooperation with the OFWM Directorates. The three-year project will include: a) equipment, materials, and skilled labor for renovation of about 2500 watercourses, precision land levelling, demonstration plots, construction of water tanks, and limited office space and staff housing. It will, moreover, provide; b) technical assistance; c) training; and d) supervision and administration.
