National Program for Enhancing Command Area of Small and Mini Dams in Barani Areas of Pakistan

The National and Provincial ADP funded project "National Program for Enhancing Command Area of Small and Mini Dams in Barani Areas of Pakistan – The Punjab Component" is to promote an environment friendly, socially sustainable, resource efficient, and economically profitable irrigated agriculture in rainfed areas through integrated development and management of available water resources by strengthening small landholder’s resilience to the climate change

Project objectives

The overall development objective of this component would be to enhance agricultural productivity vis-à-vis water productivity. The key objectives would include, inter alia, the followings.

Enhance crop productivity through developing the land and water resources using modern irrigation methods/ techniques
Developing the command of small/ mini dams for promoting irrigated agriculture
Promote cultivation of high value cash crops using efficient irrigation and agricultural practices for enhancing water productivity to cope with the effects of climate change
Build capacity of farmers to adjust with changing environment and for practicing resource efficient and profitable irrigated agriculture
Increase farm income/profitability of small land holder’s to improve livelihoods
Create job opportunities in rural areas by introducing high value irrigated agriculture
Promotion of fruit crops, oilseeds/pulses and fodder in the barani areas
