This NTF additional financing should allow for the development of part of the irrigated areas (for sustainable increase in agricultural productivity) and also helps to guarantee access to drinking water for households and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) located in village centres, particularly those involved in the processing of agricultural products and related service delivery.
