Development of Irrigation Infrastructure: Technical Note

Purpose of this note:

The aim of this note is to provide a quick overview of how IFAD projects are designed to serve irrigated smallholder farming, and to raise awareness of the different assessments and interventions needed to make sustainable investments in SSI. The note aims to inform government officials, project teams and other relevant stakeholders involved in designing and supporting the implementation of irrigation projects of the steps and arrangements that need to be put in place to reach the full potential of irrigation development, while endorsing environmental and smallholders’ climate resilience. This note is particularly relevant to arid regions, where agricultural production is fully dependent on irrigation, as is the case, for example, in Egypt, southern Iraq, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
