LOGICAL FRAMEWORK.PARTNERSHIP PROGRAMME 2003-2005

Programme logic

Objectively verifiable indicators

Sources of verification

Assumptions

Goals

More efficient and productive water use in agriculture for:
· Poverty alleviation
· Food security and improved livelihoods in rural areas
· Environmental sustainability

· Number of people living in extreme poverty ( less than US$ 1/year)

Purpose

Support developing capacity development for Sustainable Agricultural Water Management in order to:
· Increase irrigation efficiency and productivity for irrigated agricultural production ( more crop per drop)
· Reduce waterlogging and salinization of soils
· Protect people and land against water damage through flood mitigation
· Collect runoff through water harvesting
· Improve water resources management to conserve water quantity and quality

· Availability of national and regional strategies and programmes in the sector of agricultural water management
· Improvement of the capacities of planning units, training centres, R&D centres, extension services, information services
· Improvement of the public-private partnership
· Increase of the number of local private companies and consultants working in the sector
· Improvement of the technical and managerial know-how of farmers, farmers’ associations and service providers

· Reports of Ministries of Planning, Agriculture, Hydraulics and Public Works
· Case studies and benchmarking of irrigation schemes.
· Statistics on water use efficiency.
· Interviews of extension services.
· Development bank reports.
