Irrigation for Climate Resilient Agriculture

The objective of the Irrigation for Climate Resilient Agriculture Project for Peru is to improve the sustainability and efficacy of water services for irrigation and the productivity of water on family farms in selected areas that are vulnerable to climate change. There are three components to the project, the first component being technified irrigation projects. This component aims to improve water delivery services for irrigation and agricultural water productivity in 130 selected and prioritized subprojects covering a total of 8,014.38 hectares, involving 130 FGs (GGRTs) and serving 7,767 producer households (thereby reaching an estimated total of 24,128 beneficiaries). This component includes three subcomponents: modernization of communal (off-farm) irrigation systems, irrigation technology improvement (on-farm irrigation systems), and technical assistance and capacity building to FGS (GGRTs). The second component is the other Initiatives: institutional strengthening for effective and sustainable irrigation services. This component includes two subcomponents: strengthening WUOs for Improved management of reliable and sustainable water services for irrigation; and TA to subnational governments for the scaling up of improved irrigation investments. Finally, the third component is the project management and interagency coordination. This component includes activities to support the administration of the Project and the strengthening of the PSI, the PIU. The component will support capacity building on financial, environmental, social, and technical management as well as M&E. In addition, this component will include activities to promote coordination between project and existing government entities (e.g., ANA), other government programs (such as Sierra-Selva Exportadora, AGROIDEAS, AGRORURAL, etc.), and programs that involve NGOs, farmers associations, and universities.
