This loan helped finance Phase I of a project to rehabilitate the 106,000-hectare Pyongnam Irrigation System. The electric pumping system was replaced with a gravity-fed one, and 154 km of canal, and intake barrage, hydraulic structures and tunnels were constructed. In addition to improving farmers’ incomes, the scheme has also helped boost food security.
