  3. Key Agricultural Sector Performance Indicators by 2014 **Prepared and secured necessary investments by 2014 for operations to develop 500,000 ha under improved water management and increase water storage capacity by at least 8.5 billion cubic meters.

  4. Indicative Pipeline of Projects / Programs for Financing, 2010 - 14 Pillar I Pillar II Cross-cutting

  5. Agriculture Water Development and Water Storage Enhancement- Business Plan Targets and Focus Area (2008-2013) • Agricultural Water Development. Develop 500, 000 ha including: • (a) new areas under full control of water, (b) rehabilitation and modernization of existing schemes, and (c) development of Community/Private driven Small-Scale Irrigation • Water Storage Enhancement: Develop infrastructure to increase water storage capacity in Africa by at least 1% (8.5 BCM) for multi-purpose use. • This will secure additional water capacity for hydro power generation, sustainable water supply and irrigation development, as well as helping mitigate climate change impact. • Institutional Support and Project Preparation Studies: • including capacity building activities, policy formulation and the identification and preparation of operations in support of AWM and water storage enhancement.
