Sustainable Power and Irrigation for Nigeria Project
This board approved project will help Nigeria to protect citizens from floods and drought through enhanced dam safety and operations. The project will further support the provision of new and improved irrigation and drainage services over an area of 40,000 hectares. This will help up to 950,000 people that includes households, farmers, and livestock breeders to directly benefit from more reliable, climate-resilient, and efficient irrigation, water supply and increased agricultural productivity through improved irrigation water management. Through the project, the government will develop a master plan for hydropower and a structured public private partnership transaction for a hydropower project. The preparation and analytical underpinnings of the project were supported by ESMAP.
