Is water conservation a solution to irrigated land and food security?
The average age of irrigation infrastructure is over 50 years. Up to half of irrigated land is salinised. Water use in agriculture is inefficient, with 40% of water lost in the irrigation canal system. A commitment to conserving water appears to be the only solution to protecting the potential of irrigated land and food security in Central Asia.
How can MDBs contribute to attracting investment in irrigation?
MDBs could collaborate to help overcome the challenge of attracting investment in irrigation. MDBs in the region could act as financial operators, jointly implementing complex projects, mobilising additional financial resources and providing effective financial support for complex initiatives.
