    This evaluation highlights the success of FAO’s project to rehabilitate the North Al-Jazeera irrigation scheme in Ninewa, Iraq, between 2018 and 2022. Funded by the EU's Madad Trust Fund, the initiative addressed critical agricultural and livelihood needs in communities recovering from the ISIL conflict. The project restored 84.6 km of irrigation canals, repaired key water infrastructure in Phases II and III, and provided temporary employment to over 1,250 vulnerable households through Cash-for-Work initiatives. Women’s engagement was fostered through culturally appropriate activities such as home gardening.Although water flow from the rehabilitated canals in Phases II and III needs to be tested, the project significantly strengthened food security, supported economic recovery, and enhanced resilience in targeted communities, including returnees and remainees. Despite challenges such as COVID-19 and insecurity, the project’s participatory approach, involving local stakeholders and government bodies, ensured alignment with community priorities. The evaluation underscores the project’s vital role in restoring livelihoods and advancing agricultural productivity in Iraq’s post-conflict recovery efforts.

    The project was designed to tackle challenges facing farmers’ livelihood in the Nineveh Governorate, Iraq. Its objective aimed at increasing the resilience of farmers' livelihoods in crisis-affected, liberated areas through the rehabilitation of damaged infrastructure at the Al Jazeera irrigation scheme. The project design included five key components to achieve the expected results: i) mine action; ii) rehabilitate the damaged canals; iii) repair bridges; iv) repair Phase II and Phase III pumping stations; and v) distribute spare parts and replacement to the travelling irrigators and pumps.
