III – OBJECTIVES

This five-year IFAD-initiated project is designed to extend the benefits of dam rehabilitation and strengthen the capacity of WUAs, improve access of women to land and build on existing credit experience to improve household food security. As part of its objectives for this second phase, the project seeks to:

• resolve technical issues relating to irrigated agriculture and crop production;
• address financial aspects of smallholder operations (rural savings and credit groups);
• re-emphasize the importance of empowering smallholders through group activities;
• reinforce beneficiary participation and promotion of grass-roots organizations, particularly those that promote the interests of women;
• continue improvement of the most solicited rural infrastructure; and
• Ensure an institutional framework conducive to post-project sustainability.
