Page 98: 2.2•More facts on the targeted

sub-sites will be incorporated such as description of the main agricultural systems in the ND

• Two files of more details about the site will be attached in the Annex

New Land

Old Land

Salt-affected Land

The target of each sub-site

Improvement of drainage and crop systems management

Development of pressurized irrigation systems and soil fertility management regime

Old land

Salt affected land

New land

Improvement of irrigation, drainage, and cropping systems

Output 2.5. Policy and institutional options related to farmers’ aggregation addressing market and value chain integration, land fragmentation, water valuation and allocation evaluated in the 3 target sites

Output 2.6. Gender responsive mechanisms for rural communities empowerment developed and tested in the 3 sites, to equitably share benefits and responsibilities of aggregation and intensification

Output 2.9: Impact of the R4D monitored and future scenarios developed for the target main action and satellites sites
