ABOUT US

This project comes as a new phase of work of the project "Watershed rehabilitation and irrigation improvement in Pakistan: Demonstrating and disseminating the best practices and technologies to help rural farmers" which was held from 2011 to 2016.

Period of Implementation

Mar 30, 2016 - May 31, 2018
Total Budget

USD 1,219,262.83

OUR IMPACT

Goals

The goal of this porject is to build effective partnerships to promote and implement sustainable technologies and practices to improve capturing, storing and water usage for agriulture and eveantually to reduce loss of water and soil.

Objectives

The objectives are to: Match agricultural water issues with the appropriate practices and technologies for each area; Determine the needed research and advisory activities; Design and implementing actions under the partnerships established.

Problems and Needs Analysis

Through this project, the concerns which will be tackled are: Irrigation scheduling ; Efficient application of water on-farm; On- farm water storage- Rainwater harvesting; Groundwater- surfacewater issues ; Minimizing flood damages to agriculture ; Capture of flood waters use in agriculture.

Intervention Strategy(ies)

Rainwater harvesting _Micro-catchments; rooftop water harvesting; ponds and tanks High efficiency irrigation-drip (bucket), drip and sprinkler (solar) Raised beds, ridges (furrow irrigations) Gully farming and management, Improved planting techniques Loose stones, check dams, soil stabilzation

Impact Pathway

An evaluation of the work of the phase I of the project “Pakistan Water dialogue” is established to identify the agricultural water issues to be working on in order to enhance the work of the previous project. This evaluation highlights also the consensus actions to be done or/and completed. Then a selection of the needed partnerships is established. The partnerships would be of two types: partnerships to establish partnerships to promote specific water management technologies and practices, others about implementing them for the target groups. Throughout the project duration, reports about the actions done are developed regularly by the team members. This would lead to the accomplishment of two outputs which are establishing partnerships to promote specific water management technologies and practices. These two outputs will contribute to the achievement of the outcome “improving effectiveness in the water management practices and technologies”. This outcome would lead to an increased access to productive assets, including natural resources (1.1.1), and eventually to an increased productivity (1.1), an intermediate development outcome (IDO) under the CGIAR strategic goal reducing poverty (1). It would also contribute to the fact of minimizing and reversing of the land and water ( 3.1.1) and then to a nautral capital enhance and protected from climate change (3.1), an IDO of the CGIAR strategic goal Improving natural resources systems and ecosystems services (3). Besides, it would provide an increased capacity of beneficiaries to adopt research outputs (C.1.1) and therefore to the IDO enabling environment improved (C.1), an IDO which comes under the CGIAR strategic goal which is policies and institutions (C). Finally, another sub_IDO can be reached which is an enhanced institutional capacity of partner research organizations. This would lead to enabled national partner and beneficiaries, an IDO of the CGIAR strategic goal capacity development (D).
