SDC’s contribution focuses on the soft component of this major World Bank (WB) irrigation project, and further promotes Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), strengthens capacities of 7 Administrations of Irrigation Systems (AIS) and 65 Water Consumer Associations (WCA), establishes and equips 62 Farmer Field Schools (FFS) to disseminate best water saving practices.

Farmer Field School plots are managed by the farmer communities to demonstrate irrigation water saving techniques as well as related farming practices and agricultural improvements. The reorganized along the hydrographic boundaries Associations are responsible for operation and maintenance of their on-farm systems and the demand based distribution of irrigation water among farmers and other water users in a participatory and transparent way.  

The project consists of four components financed by the Government of Uzbekistan, the World Bank and the SDC.

1 - Rural Enterprise Finance is a credit line for farmers provided through participating financial institutions.

2 - Irrigation and Drainage is aimed at achieving improved irrigation water management and service delivery, through the rehabilitation of critical inter-farm and on-farm irrigation and drainage infrastructure. It will also support 65 Water Consumers’ Associations (WCA) and provide a pilot demonstration of applied modern water management techniques in 7 districts selected by the project. This component is divided into three subcomponents, two of which are funded by Switzerland.

3 - Rural Training and Advisory Services covers the entire area of the 7 provinces selected for RESP II. Within this component training and advisory services to farmers outside of the pilot districts will be provided.

4 - Project Management component is designed to implement, monitor and oversee all project operations.

Contesto

Central Asia’s agriculture is depending exclusively on irrigation. For the last 20 years, the irrigation infrastructure is heavily deteriorating and managed by institutions with low capacity. The availability of water, as a consequence of climate change, population growth and National interests will decrease and therefore efficient and practical water management solutions are to be found and taught to the water consumers.
