Mwea Irrigation Scheme |
The JICA-supported project will strengthen capacity in the area to operate, maintain, and manage core irrigation infrastructure. It will also improve irrigation facilities to provide a stable supply of the water required by agriculture in the area. The project is expected to enable double-cropping (two harvests per year) of rice and horticultural crops, as well as to improve the productivity of rice and other crops by expanding the total cultivated area from 7,860 ha to 16,920 ha in the project area. Through these efforts, the project aims to contribute to the improvement of food security in Kenya and to the livelihoods of farmers in the region.
