Synopsis (short abstract) The project contributed to an inclusive process in which the voices of relevant stakeholders were heard and considered during the policy discussions that led to the preparation of the VGFSyN. Support was provided for the organization of five regional consultations aimed at obtaining inputs, comments and suggestions on how best to align the VGFSyN with regional and national priorities and needs. The project also contributed to the translation of different versions of the VGFSyN in order to enable the active participation and involvement of sufficient numbers of relevant stakeholders and to ensure that the various iterative versions of the core negotiation document accurately reflected the positions of a wide range of stakeholders.

    Improved Water Resources Management in Lebanon - GCP/LEB/029/SWI 2023

    No results found.
    Water availability in Lebanon has been hit by many critical issues, such as water resource degradation, increasing water demand, rapid urbanization and climate change. Effective and efficient water management is thus fundamental to ensuring sustainable development without jeopardizing the status of water resources. Water monitoring and accounting play a crucial role in helping water management institutions to manage complexity and to implement integrated water resources management. The aim of the project was to improve the performance and enhance the capacity of regional water management institutions, leading to more effective planning and management of water resources, and better water outcomes for end users. The project was implemented in the pilot area of Akkar and Menieh irrigation schemes in El Bared watershed, North Lebanon.

    Improving irrigation systems and management in Afghanistan - GCP/AFG/078/JCA 2019

    Agriculture is the backbone of Afghan economy. However, its agriculture sector is highly dependent on irrigation water management. Given that the productivity of rainfedcultivation is very low, most of the production comes from irrigated agriculture. The rehabilitation and modernization of irrigation systems and improvement of their efficiency was deemed crucial for sustainable development and the stability of the country. The Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock (MAIL), through its Irrigation Directorate (ID), plays a key role in this process. The project, which was part of a bigger project called Capacity Development and Institutional Strengthening (CDIS) funded by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), aimed to increase the capacity of ID in formulating agricultural development projects and implementing them.

    Increasing Knowledge on the Performance of Improved Irrigation Systems to Strengthen the Efficiency and Effectiveness of Future Investments in Agricultural Water Management - UTF/EGY/033/EGY 2020
    Also available in:

    The overall objective of the On farm Irrigation Development in Old Lands (OFIDO) project is to contribute to the reduction of poverty and the empowerment of poor rural households through targeted interventions aiming to improve water use efficiency at farm levels and to increase the yields, productivity and income of smallholders and the poor. In order to draw lessons from the implementation of this project and to apply them to the national programme to modernize irrigation, FAO, upon request of the Government of Egypt, conducted an independent technical assessment to provide a comprehensive overview of the performance of improved irrigation systems in three governorates within the OFIDO project’s area of intervention, located in the north, centre and south of the country.
