This is the Final Evaluation of the Programme for Improvement of Irrigation Systems in Kabul and Bamyan Provinces of Afghanistan (GCP/AFG/071/JPN:USD16.82million), and the Programme for Improvement of Irrigation Systems in Kabul, Bamyan and Kapisa Provinces of Afghanistan (GCP/AFG/077/JPN: USD22.22 million) implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy and Water (MEW) of the Government of Afghanistan. Each project was designed to increase food security by: (a) rehabilitating irrigation infrastructure; (b) build the capacity of farmers to operate and maintain the structures; and (c) build capacity of MEW to be able to manage irrigation rehabilitation projects.
The main purpose of the evaluation was to provide accountability to the donor and partners by assessing FAO’s contribution to the overall objective of the programme: improved, reliable and equitable distribution of irrigation water to increase agricultural production and productivity for improved food security. The final evaluation assessed achievements of the projects at district- and farm-levels derived from project reporting, surveys, interviews and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) maps and photographs. The evaluation determined what activities worked and which activities were less successful so that stakeholders could integrate these experiences into future project designs and implementation of similar projects.
