Command Area Development Project, Bangladesh |
The main outcome of the TA will be a feasibility study report for preparing the Second Command Area Development Project to be financed by ADB and development partners. The consultants will cooperate closely with a technical support team that will be provided by the Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB), the executing agency. The report will cover the scope and implementation arrangements for the Project, an assessment of implementation capacity, a distribution analysis of project benefits, and a number of poverty and social analyses. It will include a capacity development plan, a description of an infrastructure maintenance system, the requirements for consulting services for the Project. The report will also include a project framework, the details for the proposed results-based monitoring and evaluation system, and an action plan for large irrigation schemes. The TA consultants will ensure effective participatory planning in the O&M of flood control, drainage, and irrigation (FCDI) schemes. On the basis of the feasibility study, stakeholder workshops will be conducted in relevant districts and a national workshop will be held in Dhaka prior to the completion of the study.
The project shall focus on the rehabilitation and modernization of physical works in selected existing irrigation schemes aimed at the improvements and sustainable irrigation service delivery and gradual transfer to the Water Users Associations |
