The development objective of the Resilient Agriculture and Integrated Water Resources Management Project for Dominican Republic is to contribute to improved sustainable landscape management and access to water supply and sanitation services in targeted river basins. It has four components. First component, Sustainable Productive Management of Agroecosystems aims at promoting climate- and environmentally smart practices to improve the resilience of rural producers to flooding, droughts, and other climate change impacts; Second component, Enhancement of Resilience and Management of Hydraulic Infrastructure aims at enhancing resilience to extreme events and other climate change impacts, and improving the performance of irrigation and drainage services with positive impacts on adaptation and mitigation agendas; Third component, Reducing Contamination through Improvement of Water Supply and Sanitation Services in Prioritized Areas will finance consulting and nonconsulting services, goods, works, operating costs and training; Fourth component, Capacity Building for Natural Resources Management and Governance, and Project Management aims at improving water governance with a participatory and multisectorial approach. The improved capacity built through this component will ultimately support the stakeholders to make more informed decisions about resilient natural resources management.
