In the first component, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Economy will assist in assuring sustainability of the future investments by a process of identification and development of technical designs for small irrigation schemes. The second will support the ongoing water management reforms towards involvement of users in management of irrigation schemes through capacity building activities, preparation of legislative proposals, procedures and guidelines, with an emphasis on preparation of methodology for calculation of the water tariffs.

      The project, funded by and implemented under the Delegation of the European Union, has a value of €1.6 million and an expected duration of 2 years and 4 months.
