Climate-Friendly Agribusiness Value Chains Sector Project (RRP CAM 48409-002) LIST OF PRE-SCREENED SUBPROJECTS A. Irrigation Subproject Investments 1. A formal process was followed for the identification of potential subprojects which were assessed by the design consultants, mainly the climate change adaptation and resilience experts, and that required the participation of the provincial agencies: Provincial Department of Agriculture and Provincial Department of Water Resources and Meteorology and commune councils and village heads. The selection criteria included: (i) There is political and community commitment to the investment for the subproject identified; (ii) With the modernization and rehabilitation of the proposed site there is sufficient justification that the system will be more climate resilient and the command area of each subproject should be sufficient to demonstrate effective climate change mitigation and viable economic returns; (iii) The site has low irrigation efficiency and low water productivity, and scope for improvement, with sufficient water resources; (iv) It is an existing system and is small scale; (v) There is a farmer water user cooperative (FWUC) in existence or the potential to establish a FWUC is evident; (vi) An initial internal rate of return estimation shows that there is economic viability for supporting the irrigation system; (vii) The subproject should involve rehabilitation of both primary canals and distribution canal networks (secondary and tertiary irrigation canals) to ensure that water reaches the farms, with minimum water loss; (viii) The subproject should not be covered by other ongoing or proposed development projects financed by Asian Development Bank (ADB) or donor partners; (ix) The subproject should not cause involuntary resettlement and should require as less land acquisition as possible; (x) There is potential for cluster (cooperative) development and beneficiaries to include vulnerable communities, poor and women farmers and the socioeconomic benefits must accrue to all beneficiaries equally; (xi) Provisions had to be provided for the operations and maintenance of the facility; and (xii) Environmental and social safeguards were, such that, no negative impacts would result that could not be mitigated. 2. All the eligible subprojects needed to conform to the development objectives of the provincial governments, Government of Cambodia and Asian Development Bank (ADB). They are expected to contribute to the achievement of the ADB Country Partnership Strategy (2014- 2018), the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Agriculture Sector Strategic Development Plan (2014-2018), the Government of Cambodia’s Industrial Development Policy (2015-2025), the Government of Cambodia’s Policy on the Promotion of Paddy Production and Rice Export (2010), and Cambodia Climate Change Strategic Plan (2014-2023). The eligible subprojects are unlikely to have any significant social or environmental safeguard issues with their implementation. 2 3. Initially, 27 subprojects were identified but was reduced to 22. The number from each province is Kampot (7), Takeo (5), Tboung Khmum (5), and Kampong Cham (5).
