Resumen
Descripción
The flyer provides information about the project on modernization of irrigation techniques to improve the livelihoods of smallholders in Upper Egypt. It describes the project's objectives, outputs, geographic coverage, partners and highlights some updates.
The project works towards achieving increased crop yields per unit of irrigation water used over time and improved income generation and employment in Assiut, Sohag and Qena Governorates through the promotion of: (i) tested and validated land use consolidation (LUC) approaches, modern irrigation technologies and climate-smart water management (CSWM) practices to men and women smallholder farmers affected by increasing water shortages, soil infertility and plant pests and diseases; and (ii) micro and small agrifood enterprises (MSEs) adding value to and marketing surplus irrigated food production.
