Capacity Development in Irrigation and Drainage,Issues,Challenges and the Way Ahead : Water Reports. 26 (Fao Water Report) Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

The consensus among policy-makers in the developing world and aid agencies is that a lack of capacity is constraining the development of irrigated agriculture.

Although this concern is not new, it is now receiving much attention in the irrigation and drainage world, where it is becoming an issue in its own right rather than being embedded in infrastructure investment projects.

In order to address this issue FAO Land and Water Development Division (AGL) organized a one-day workshop , which brought together a range of case studies from different parts of the world in order to demonstrate that capacity development should be central focus of future strategies on irrigation and drainage.

This publication contains a synthesis of the workshop as well as three keynote papers prepared for the workshop based on the available literature and experiences.

The complete workshop materials, which include several country papers and complementary documents, are included on a CD-ROM that accompanies this document
