The Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) implemented 280 small scale water resources management subprojects under the first Small Scale Water Resources Development Sector Project (SSWRDSP-1 during its first phase. Another 300 subprojects are currently under the implementation of SSWRDSP-II, LGED during its second phase The purpose of the subprojects is to improve water management, flood management, drainage improvement, water conservation and command area development, benefiting a net area of up to 1,000 ha with a view to increasing production in agriculture and fishery resources, generating more income and employment, thereby contributing to an overall reduction in poverty.
In order to examine the performance of the projects a Benefit Monitoring and Evaluation (BME) Study is in place, to be carried out covering 40 subprojects. The BME study involves a benchmark study of 30 subprojects of the second phase, to be carried out before their implementation. The impact assessment study involves carrying out evaluation for 10 subprojects of SSWRDSP-1, for which a baseline study was already carried out back in 2002.
