Bolivia Resilient Water Management for Community and Household Irrigation Project

About this project

The Project will support the implementation of the first phase of the Government of Bolivia's Climate Smart and Resilient Program (Programa Lucho por una Bolivia Climaticamente Inteligente y Resiliente, Fase 1), which is a comprehensive rural development program, covering actions from water conservation, irrigation and risk management investments to information, knowledge management and water governance. It will have a strong focus on adaptation strategies for tackling the impacts of climate change on water security as well as developing resilience to climate change exacerbated flood and drought risks for Bolivia's poorest communities. The Project will adopt an integrated approach, from basin to micro-basin planning, and will include investments for water management at the micro-basin level, investments for hydrological risk management, as well as investments to secure adequate water for irrigation of rain-fed crops, increasing farmers ability to improve food security and reducing their vulnerability to the increasing, climate change-induced rainfall variability. The Project design will consider some basic principles:• A comprehensive analysis of needs at the basin level. Activities or subprojects to secure the availability and sustainable use of water resources for target areas will be identified through a comprehensive analysis of the needs of 15 targeted basins with areas up to 20,000 km2 and the development of basin-level strategic integrated water plans (EPHIC) - former…
