The project has three components: (i) Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Building, which finances institutional strengthening and capacity building of AIOJSC and the irrigation sector as a whole; (i) On-farm Irrigation and Drainage Rehabilitation, which finances rehabilitation of on-farm irrigation and drainage systems for eligible Water Users Associations (WUAs) in selected rayons; and (iii) Project management and monitoring and evaluation. Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Report No: ISR14111 The project started implementation early 2012 and aims to achieve the following results: (i) Increase in agricultural productivity (about 15 percent) in at least 80 percent of the rehabilitated areas; (ii) Improved collection rates by rehabilitated WUAs s of at least 80 percent which meets 80 percent of the required level of on-farm system management, operation and maintenance; (iii) Water distribution within 80 percent of the rehabilitated systems closely matches the crops’ irrigation water demands; (iv) Collection rates by project WUAs of at least 65 percent which meets 55 percent of the required level of management, operation and maintenance of on-farm I&D system; (v) Increased percentage of water Public Disclosure Copy users satisfied with WUA managerial and operational performance. First results of the project are very positive. As of spring 2014, 35,000 ha of 14 WUAs are now rehabilitated with 30,000 hectares on 9 WUAs ongoing, with another 33,000 ha at various stages of design and bidding.
