Project Objectives The project development objectives are to assist the Recipient in: (i) increasing the coverage of drained and irrigated areas in Bobojon Gafurov and Kannibodom raions, respectively; and (ii) strengthening the early warning system of the Kayrakkum dam as well as in carrying out a geotechnical study for assessing the risks associated with said dam.

3. Project Description The Project activities will remain substantially the same as in the original project design with a continued focus on improving irrigation and drainage infrastructure, improving local farmers’ access to irrigation water, and reducing Spring flooding, while improving knowledge of the dam#s risk profile. Project outcome indicators are proposed to be

Public Disclosure Authorized adjusted to reflect output quantities in line with the detailed design completed under the original project.

Component 1 - Irrigation and Drainage System Rehabilitation and Improvements (base cost US$ 5.6 million) - Rehabilitation of drainage facilities - Of the original 16 pump stations installed along the reservoir embankment, the ongoing project is expected to complete only about 4 due to funding constraints. The additional financing will rehabilitate an additional 5 thus bringing the total number of pump stations to be rehabilitated to 9 units. In addition, some 38 I&D tubewells out of 118 identified at detailed design have been rehabilitated. The remainder about 80, will be rehabilitated under the AF. Finally, 75 out of the 95 observation wells identified to monitor soil conditions along the embankments, were completed. These quantities reflect the priorities defined at detailed design stage and are addressing the most critical areas affected by spring flooding. - Rehabilitation of inter-farm and on-farm surface and subsurface I&D systems - The project will prioritize the rehabilitation of "Mirzomalik" WUA-managed irrigation and drainage infrastructure, which are blocked with silt and vegetation, and replace the broken pre-cast concrete "canalettes". These works will directly benefit the newly formed WUA by improving its ability to deliver contracted water and help its credibility with farmers, and its sustainability. - Rehabilitation of BFC and KCC - Of some 29km of canals in need for work, the original project will rehabilitate about 6.4 km. The additional financing will rehabilitate an additional 3.6 km, thus increasing the total length of rehabilitated canals to 11km, in accordance to the agreed priorities defined at detailed design. In addition, the AF will finance the completion of the selective repairs to the 160 structures on the canal composed of settling basins, cross-regulators and outlets, bridges and siphons that had been omitted at project inception. - Rehabilitation of main and secondary off-farm collector drains - Of the 4
