| Strategic Partner of the CILSS for support to irrigation solutions under types 1 and 3 |
As part of Component “B” of the Project of Regional Support to the Sahel Irrigation Initiative Support Project (SIIP), the Strategic Partner (SP) under types 1 and 3 provides highly qualified technical assistance to the Regional Coordination Unit of the Project and to the six national Project Management Units (PMU) for the development of “irrigation solutions” to strengthen the capacities of the actors involved in irrigation planning and to implement the solutions identified under type 1 (partial water management: lowlands and controlled flood recession agriculture/cultivation systems) and type 3 (full water management: small-scale irrigation schemes managed by communities).
The SIIP finances efficient and reliable irrigation solutions for the revitalisation/modernisation and management of existing irrigated schemes and the development of new schemes (“sub-projects”), particularly in small- and medium-scale irrigation systems for a total target surface area of 23,225 ha by the end of the project (2023) in the priority intervention zones and divided into five major types of irrigation.
