To assist Moldova in coping with the challenges posed by natural disasters, FAO is implementing the project “Increasing small scale farmers’ resilience to drought by adopting best irrigation practices and modern irrigation technologies”. The project is intended primarily to increase farmers’ resilience to drought by (i) introducing and facilitating adoption of best irrigation practices and irrigation technologies, (ii) building capacities of farmers and Water Users Associations to manage and operate modern on-farm irrigation technologies, and (iii) building capacities of extension officers to provide quality advisory services in irrigation practices and technologies.

The project envisages a wide range of activities including a nation-wide awareness raising campaign and capacity building activities tailored to beneficiary farmers and extension officers, establishment of demonstration plots and delivery of farmers’ field schools events. For the demonstration plots establishment, FAO will arrange procurement of 10 complete kits of irrigation systems.
