Проблема, которая решается применением практики | Low water use efficiency on WUA and farm levels |
Insufficient level of objectivity while selecting candidates, i.e. selection of final candidates not based on their knowledge and skills but illicitly |
Примененные в практике инструменты | Technical tools: Effective water use technologies, modern technologies of irrigation water management. Cognitive tools: Consultations by Helvetas Swiss Intercooperation and local experts, capacity-building training seminars. |
Technique of knowledge assessment |
Описание практики и ее результаты | Actions: Capacity building:
Partnership building:
Results: The practice promoted building of WUA capacities, increasing the efficiency of irrigation water use on farm level as well as building farmer capacities on water resources management. |
Actions: The participants were offered to undergo 2 exams (written and oral) within the framework of the Olympiad. Finalists of the written test could go on to the oral exam. Results: 1 student was selected from among the candidates to participate in subsequent Regional IWRM Olympiad and the International Summer School “Methods and Means of Assessing, Modelling and Monitoring the Water and Land Resources of Central Asia” to take place in Almaty City. |
Какие уроки и рекомендации можно извлечь из практики | Lessons learnt: Water shortage and inefficient water use (field/farm level) pose obstacles to farmers receiving high yields and incomes from agricultural production. Excessive irrigation in upper-stream areas and water shortage in lower-stream areas, although a paradox, occur simultaneously as farmers lack knowledge on actual crop water requirements and water-efficient irrigation. Recommendations: The practice should be scaled-up across the country. It is also necessary to conduct regular trainings to raise awareness among farmers and build their capacities on applying advanced irrigation methods providing them with an opportunity to manage scarce water resources more effectively. |
Formally, this competitive practice is routine while selecting the personnel/specialists for international and national projects, but their unbiased selection is not achieved in all cases. Quite often, various types of project participants are selected by way of “pulling strings” or based on the instruction of upper-tier agencies. |
