BACKGROUND 1. The project impact of the Uplands Irrigation and Water Resources Management Sector project (UIWRMSP) will be inclusive economic growth through agriculture and irrigation, in line with Phase 3 of the government’s Rectangular Strategy on Growth, Employment, Equity, and Efficiency for 2014–2018. The outcome is enhanced water and agriculture productivity in the project areas. 2. The expected project outputs of the UIWRMSP are: (i) enhanced efficiency and climate resilience of irrigation systems in the project areas; and (ii) improved water resources management with details below: (i) Output 1: Enhanced efficiency and climate resilience of irrigation systems. This output consists of the rehabilitation, modernization, and climate-proofing of at least three irrigation systems in the province of Kampong Thom and Battambang. The cultivated area of the systems is expected to increase to 29,500 ha from a baseline of 13,500 ha. The key activities under this output include: a) Rehabilitation and modernization of the Taing Krasaing (TK) irrigation system in Kampong Thom. The rehabilitation and improvement of the TK scheme started in January 2016 and are expected to be completed by late-2019. The project activities included the DED for the secondary and tertiary systems, with the DED for the primary system already prepared under a previous project. The command area improved under the project in this TK scheme covers approximately 10,961 ha. b) Rehabilitation and modernization of the Prek Chik (PC) irrigation system in Battambang. The civil works for the rehabilitation and improvement of the PC system started in February 2016 and are expected to be completed by July 2021 (including 1-year maintenance period). This is because a last contract to rehabilitate a second reservoir (OTC) as supplementary water source for the PC scheme, and to rehabilitate and modernise an additional 1,880 ha, was only signed in June 2019. The project activities included the DED for the secondary and tertiary systems with the DED for the primary system already prepared under a previous project. The total command area with improved irrigation and/or drainage in this PC scheme covers approximately 19,905 ha. c) Rehabilitation and modernization of the O'Kra Nhak (OKN) irrigation system in Kampong Thom. The civil works for the rehabilitation and improvement of the OKN system started in July 2018 and are expected to be completed by December 2020 (including a one-year maintenance period). The project activities included the feasibility study and DED of the entire system. The command area improved under the project in this OKN scheme covers approximately 1,762 ha. which expanded by VO.01 Bi via ADB's No Objection Letter dated on 1 October 2019. 1 Additional Works - Prek Chik Irrigation Scheme (Variation Order No. 02, CW09) (ii) Output 2: Improved water resources management. This output includes the following key activities: a) Organization of FWUCs and provision of gender-inclusive training on: (i) O&M of canals; b) management of FWUCs; (iii) orientation on climate variability and change; and (iv) water management; c) Involvement of FWUCs in the design and implementation of subprojects; d) Installation of hydro-meteorological
