INTRODUCTION A Background 1. The project will support the Government’s strategy to enhance economic growth in the project area through the rehabilitation, modernization and climate proofing of selected existing irrigation system in the provinces of Battambang and Kampong Thom. The outcome of the project is to enhance water and agriculture productivity in the project province. 2. The project will (i) enhance the efficiency and climate resilience of irrigation systems, and (ii) improve water resource management by building the capacity of government agencies and of farmer water user communities (FWUCs) so that they can operate and manage the irrigation systems better. 3.
