7a. Project Development Objectives/Outcomes
Original/Current Project Development Objectives/Outcomes
The overarching project objective is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of irrigation water
distribution in three AWBs (Ghotlu, Nara and Left Bank), particularly with respect to measures of
reliability, equity and user satisfaction. This would be achieved by: (a) deepening and broadening the
institutional reforms that are already underway in Sindh; (b) improving the irrigation system in a
systematic way covering key hydraulic infrastructure, main and branch canals, and distributaries and
minors; and (c) enhancing long-term sustainability o f irrigation system through participatory irrigation
management and developing institutions for improving operation and maintenance of the system and cost
recovery. The improved water management would lead to increased agricultural production, employment
and incomes over some about 1.8 million ha or more than 30 percent o f the irrigated area in Sindh, and
one of the poorest regions o f the country.
