PROJECT COMPONENTS
Component 1: Social Mobilization and Participatory Watershed Planning (US$ 30.0 Million) (a). Mobilization of GPs in order to prepare integrated and coordinated GPWDPs including, inter alia, the identification of specific interventions to increase effective land use and water resource management and develop agriculture and income generation activities. (b). Development of watershed treatment plans to guide the preparation and implementation of GPWDPs.
Component 2: Watershed Treatment and Rainfed Area Development (US$90.3 Million)
a) construction and rehabilitation of recharge pits, ponds, vegetative structures and other soil conservation structuresSub Component 2 a. Watershed Treatment and Water Source Sustainability (US$78.5 Million) b) perimeter rehabilitation with Napier and other grasses c) forestry activities (e.g., plantations and nursery development) and d) promotion of alternate energy sources (e.g., biogas plants, solar cookers, water mills, and pine briquette production). Sub Component 2 b. Rainfed Area Development (US$11.8 million, of which IDA US$9.5 million) In the rainfed areas, the improved seeds would promote rainwater conservation, climate-smart agricultural practices, and on-farm integrated crop management. In the irrigated areas, the project would promote diversification to high-value off-season vegetable crops, adoption of innovative agronomic practices, establishment of greenhouses and tunnels, productivity enhancement of irrigated maize, wheat and other crops, and production of bio-fertilizers and vermi-compost. The Project would also provide support in the horticulture and livestock sectors, including new orchard development, orchard rehabilitation, fodder production, and livestock genetic upgrading. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
