2. Solar Powered Irrigation Systems (SPIS): Recognizing the need and potential for Solar Powered Irrigation Systems (SPIS) in Africa, the Food and Agriculture Organisation, Office for the Near East and North Africa (FAO-RNE), Cairo, Egypt partnered with ICID to learn about the success of SPIS in India through a study tour of high-level delegation from Egypt and Tunisia. This article is the Executive Summary of the learning outcomes of the above study tour activities in three states of India and its capital New Delhi.
3. Crop Water Productivity in Afghanistan: Ensuring water security remains critical in Afghanistan for future agricultural production and to satisfy other livelihood needs. The contribution of agriculture is roughly a third of the national economy and over two-thirds of employment, especially in rural areas. Agricultural growth remains a key component of national growth and employment, and it also provides a foundation for successful structural transformation of the national economy. Because of arid to semi-arid climate of the country, agriculture is dependent on the availability of irrigation water to a large extent. Hence, Afghanistan’s economy is essentially water dependent.
