Climate- and Disaster-Resilient Irrigation and Drainage Modernization in the Vakhsh River Basin Project

About this project

The project is the first gender equity themed irrigation and drainage (I&D) investment of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in Tajikistan. The project will enhance climate resilience, water productivity, and the income of female and male farmers by modernizing selected areas of the Yovon I&D system, located in Khatlon province of the lower Vakhsh river basin. The project will introduce (i) climate- and disaster-resilient modernization of prioritized I&D infrastructure, (ii) streamlined institutions and systems for effective planning and operation and maintenance (O&M) of I&D infrastructure, and (iii) policies and strategies for gender equality to enhance women?s participation in land and water management.
