| Summary: | This evaluation seeks to inform the
World Bank’s efforts to support client countries to deliver
sustainable irrigation and drainage services and achieve
development impacts. The results of this evaluation can help
the World Bank improve strategic approaches in an evolving
context. Irrigation service delivery is increasingly
challenged by multiple factors that are driving demand for
agricultural production, water scarcity, and variability in
water precipitation. These factors include population growth
and urbanization leading to increasing demand for
agricultural products, and greater competition for water
resources from domestic and industrial users. Untreated
urban wastewater released into water bodies affects
irrigation water quality. Water availability is increasingly
variable because of the effects of climate change. |
