The project is the fifth phase of a whole series located in the Arabian Peninsula for the enhancement of agricultural production systems and the conservation of natural resources. This phase focuses on the diffusion of the developed technologies packages, to reduce the climate change effects on the environment and agricultural production affecting the livelihoods of local communities.

An integrated Geoinformatics and data management for agroecosystem research, development and outreach.

To provide scientific backstopping in the development of methodologies and protocols for tracking outcomes envisioned within the WWCS initiative. This thematic focus and multi-stakeholder approach embody a level of complexity that necessitates the engagement of novel scientific, government and business partners. Caritas Switzerland has initiated and explores partnerships with Swiss and international organizations to support related Tajik line ministries and governmental agencies in addressing the many challenges that are inherent to an informed and sustainable management of natural resources and in agriculture under a changing climate. Leveraging the trust that Caritas Switzerland has built in-country at all levels, Memorandums of Understanding with key government partners are now in place, a key prerequisite for ensuring that benefits sustainably reach the rural poor. Together with an ostensible shift in external funding priorities to regional (multi-country) initiatives, this country strategy provides significant opportunity in the medium term for regional engagement in Central Asia.

Water scarcity in agriculture is one of the main issue in MENA's countries. This is also associated with difficulties on pumping energy availability in several areas. For this reason the project aims to encourage the adoption of ultra-low energy drip irrigation systems with a conversion of hundreds ha from surface to drip irrigation in many different regions.

IFAD saw an opportunity for contributing to, on the one hand, improve food and nutritional security, as well as increase income generation and alternative sustainable opportunities among rural poor by strengthening the delivery of agriculture and livestock services , and, on the other hand, strengthen the existing institutional capacity (both governmental and non-governmental) at district and provincial level, offering an opportunity for a bottom-up structure.
