Community Irrigation Project

Establishing an efficient institutional network for sharing information, fostering inter-governmental cooperation, and enabling the central government to provide technical support to the provincial and local bodies will be necessary under the new federal system for successful implementation of projects. Interagency coordination for efficient project implementation remains a challenge in Nepal. For example, the Nepal Electricity Authority was slow in providing power for lift irrigation systems, which delayed their commissioning until project completion, affecting the post-project activities. However, the project received timely support from the members of the FAC and the DICC.
