Technical Assistance
The objective of the project was to improve the income of small and medium producers through the promotion of production based on rational and climate-smart use and management of natural resources, especially efficient irrigation. LACIF and AECID strengthened Ecuadorian national capacities in the design and management of parcel irrigation systems through the training of experts and irrigation professionals who contributed to the improvement and modernization of agricultural production systems, the efficient management of irrigation water, improved access to markets and the overall resilience of the Ecuadorian farming sector to climate change.
