Project: Sustainable water management
|
|
Project title: MEDWA project
Project partners: JOHUD with HWA Hilfswerk Austria
Project funders: EU through MEDWA

Project purpose
Ther project aims to improve on-farm irrigation water management and farm outputs. The project involves farmers in decision-making, which should ultimately lead to the creation of water user associations and cooperatives
|
|
Main components
The approach is to tackle the problem of irrigation water delivery of an acceptable quality and combines it with intervention in the relationship between water suppliers and farmers.
As water suppliers and farmers have different interests, the project supports the communication process between the two parties.
JOHUD plays a key role in stimulating farmers to form water user organisations and cooperatives, in which structures they can exchange views, experiences and good-practice.
Through the MEDWA project, JOHUD gives training in institutional capacity building and organises activities in the fields of information exchange and the transfer of know-how and technology.
