About World Bank ICRP Project
The Irrigation for Climate Resilience Project ICRP aims to support the
Government of Uganda GoU in the shift towards more resilient agriculture
through the development of sustainable irrigation services. The project
intends to address Uganda’s climate change vulnerabilities by i promoting
adoption of irrigation by small farmers, in synergy with other agriculture
inputs and technologies; ii increasing water storage capacity; iii
promoting drainage; and iv promoting sustainable catchment management.
Through the introduction of irrigation services, combined to the provision of
extension services and facilitated access to agri-inputs, farmers are expected
to record more stable and higher yields, increase intensification by cropping
also during the dry season, and diversification by introducing higher value
crops. This change will be pulled by the market, with irrigation becoming the
anchor for stronger producer organizations and development of value chains.
The project recognizes the need to explore a range of irrigation models
adapted to local needs.
