Guidance Note: Irrigation Subsector Risk Assessment
The irrigation subsector is vulnerable to a broad range of risks that can threaten development effectiveness. This guidance note aims to explain key features of the irrigation subsector and identify entry points for mapping governance risks.
- US$19.50 (Hardcopy)
Risks can arise from several factors: capital intensity and opportunities for large-scale procurement, particularly in surface irrigation; poor regulation; weak business processes and control systems; lack of capacity to manage shifting water resources, given uncertain water levels and climate change; fragmented water institutions; and political interference. Governance risk vulnerabilities can cut across policy formulation, regulation, planning, financial management, procurement, and subsector operations.
This guidance note offers a framework for mapping governance risks to inform the preparation of future country partnership strategies, and supplements ADB’s Guidelines for Implementing the Second Governance and Anticorruption Action Plan.
