This project aims at increasing investments in dams and related infrastructure in seven departments with high-poverty levels, especially among indigenous, rural communities. Activities will focus on improving irrigation and expanding cultivatable land to boost agricultural productivity. Technical assistance and capacity-building components are also planned. Around 20,000 families reliant on subsistence agriculture are expected to benefit from the project.
