The project, funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, involved several levels of water management from end users and the old on-farm networks to main canals and small transboundary river basins. The focus at each level was on equitable water allocation and public supervision.
A water productivity sub-project provided an operational assessment of irrigated farming and promoted economically beneficial solutions. Interaction between partners in different countries resulted in a new management system for international collaboration on projects. The project resulted in a clearer understanding of the integrated approach among water professionals and stakeholders. Over 5,000 water and agricultural specialists were trained with support from GWP CACENA.
