TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND ESTABLISHMENT OF MANAGEMENT MODEL FOR KABUYANDA LARGE-SCALE PIPED IRRIGATION SCHEME (ISINGIRO DISTRICT)
The National Irrigation Policy calls for users to be fully involved and contribute to the O&M cost of irrigation schemes, to promote ownership and sustainability. This contribution to the users is critical to limit the impact of such a massive irrigation expansion on government budget. While the Policy calls for the costs of service provision to be borne by the beneficiaries, fee recovery in the existing irrigation schemes in Uganda has generally been poor, sometimes uneconomic to administer and rarely related to performance or quality of service.
