Project Components
Component I: Natural resources management
This component provides support to communities to improve management of the water and irrigation infrastructure. It has two sub-components, namely Water Supply Development and Management, and Irrigation Infrastructure Development
Sub Component I – Water Supply Development and Management
The outputs expected under this sub component are;
- 21 water pans constructed/rehabilitated
- 43 boreholes constructed/rehabilitated
- 12 shallow wells constructed/ rehabilitated
- 5 sub-surface dams constructed/ rehabilitated
- 83 Water Users Association formed/strengthened
Sub Component II – Irrigation Infrastructure Development
Under this sub-component the programme envisaged to construct/rehabilitate 9 irrigation schemes totaling 1530ha. However, after feasibility studies were done two schemes were not viable, hence leaving seven. Therefore,under this sub-component, the outputs expected are as follows;
- 7 irrigation schemes with total area of 1050 ha rehabilitated and expanded
- 7 IWUA office blocks and grading sheds constructed
- 2 irrigation water reservoirs constructed (Baringo and Isiolo)
- 7 IWUAs formed/strengthened
