The Climate Smart Irrigated Agriculture Project
(CSIAP) is designed to improve the productivity and climate resilience of
smallholder agriculture in 11 selected districts: Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa,
Kurunegala, Puttalam, Kilinochchi, Mulativu, Trincomalee, Batticaloa, Ampara,
Monaragala and Hambantota situated in dry zone in Sri Lanka by focusing on three key components: (a) agricultural
production, (b) agricultural marketing and
(c) water for agriculture. This PDO is planned to be achieved through
investments in the following activities: (i) modernization and improved management
of irrigation, drainage and flood protection systems; (ii) implementation of
participatory water management plans; (iii) adoption of climate-smart
agricultural and water use practices and technologies; and (iv) enhanced value
addition and improved access to storage and marketing. The project area covers 47 Agrarian
Service Center Divisions, 258 Grama Niladhari Divisions, and around 70000 farmer
families. The project has been addressing the key problem of the vulnerability
of agriculture systems in climatic hot spot areas of the country since its
inception in 2019.
