Compsition of Final Report MAIN REPORT ANNEXES PREFACE In response to a request from the Government of the Republic of Cape Verde, the Government of Japan decided to conduct The Study on the Integrated Rural Development in Watershed on Santiago Island and entrusted the study to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). JICA dispatched a study team, headed by Mr. Shigeru Nakata of NTC International Co., Ltd., to the Republic of Cape Verde from January 2008 to December 2010. The team held discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of Cape Verde and conducted a series of field surveys in the studied area. Upon returning to Japan, the team conducted further studies and prepared this final report. I hope that this report will contribute to the sustainable agricultural development in the Republic of Cape Verde and to the enhancement of friendly relationship between our two countries. Finally, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials of Government and those concerned in the Republic of Cape Verde for the close cooperation they had to the study. December 2010 Eiji Hashimoto Vice President Japan International Cooperation Agency December 2010 Mr. Eiji Hashimoto Vice President Japan International Cooperation Agency Letter of Transmittal Dear Sir, We are pleased to submit to you the final report on “The Study on the Integrated Rural Development in Watershed on Santiago Island of the Republic of Cape Verde”. This report presents the outcome of the Study which was conducted both in Cape Verde and Japan during a total period of 36 months from January 2008 to December 2010. Targeting the watersheds of Santiago Island located at the south of Cape Verde, “the Action Plan of the Integrated Rural Development”, with the effective use of natural resources in the watersheds contributing to operable and sustainable agriculture and soil and water conservation, was drawn up in this Study, aiming at the income generation of the rural population. Additionally, “the capacity building of the counterparts: Ministry of Environment, Rural Development and Marine Resources (MADRRM), the farmers’ associations and the concerned agencies” was attempted through the Pilot-projects with participation of the farmers. The Study process and its analysis, and the result of the formulation of the Action Plan have been compiled in this document. Since a movement has been occurring among the farmers in the study area to reorganize themselves for a better life, we would like to sincerely request that continuous Japanese aid and follow-up in the Study Area. By doing so, we are sure that the friendly relationship between Japan and Cape Verde will be further reinforced. In submitting this report, we would like to express our heartiest appreciation for substantial cooperation and advice provided during the Study period by officials of the Japan International Cooperation Agency, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. During the field study, we were also received thoughtful cooperation and support from the administrative institutions of Cape Verde including the MADRRM, General Directorate of International Cooperation (Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cooperation and Communities), National Institute of Agricultural Development and National Institute of Water Resource Management. Besides, JICA Senegal Office, the Embassy of Japan in Senegal and other related institutions provided us with valuable advice and support. In writing this, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to them for the helpful advice, cooperation, and support.
