Grant is provided under the PVO Development Initiatives project (6770051) to CARE to increase food production through improved irrigation in two areas in Chad's Sahelian zone -- the irrigated perimeters within the country's interriverine lands and the wadis, or bottomlands. In ten irrigated perimeters between the Chari and Logone Rivers, CARE, working with Chadian agencies, will (1) construct gravity flow irrigation systems which will use water pumped from the Chari river, serving collectively about 250 ha; (2) provide training and extension services in crop selection, water management, soil fertility maintenance and agroforestry; (3) establish a mobile maintenance repair unit to service irrigation equipment; (4) provide some agroforestry interventions, including live fencing and erosion control plantings; and (5) organize 1,700 farmers into village-level groups capable of sustaining irrigation operations and integrating the irrigation systems with traditional rainfed farming. The average plot per farmer will be one-fourth of an ha and will be farmed by hand; two grain crops with a complement of cool-season vegetables will be produced annually. As the farmer groups are developed, f

Scope: country: Chad. The award code belongs to this country's mission. High confidence.
How sure we are: 0.9.
When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
Who started the program, and which administration it began under. Timing only; it does not say who started it. Source: initiative records, start year
