The CSIAP Introduces QR Code for Easy Access to Cascade-Related Resources

The Climate Smart Irrigated Agriculture Project (CSIAP) has introduced a QR code system to provide convenient access to cascade-related print and electronic materials through the CSIAP website. This initiative aims to promote transparency, knowledge sharing, and accessibility among project stakeholders and the general public. With the commencement of the project’s second phase, CSIAP has shifted its full focus toward implementing all interventions through the cascade approach. The cascade-based model emphasises localised planning and integrated resource management, ensuring sustainable development and community participation at the grassroots level.

By scanning the QR code, users can instantly access a wide range of materials, including technical reports, progress updates, multimedia content, and success stories related to cascades implemented across different provinces. This innovative feature not only simplifies access to information but also strengthens the project’s communication outreach, helping readers, researchers, and policymakers stay informed about ongoing efforts under CSIAP.
