proposed project

ii. Execution:

Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Department of Agriculture, Livestock, and

Cooperatives through Project Management Unit (PMU) and Project Implementation Unit

(PIU) established under the proposed project and through envisaging partnership with the

private sector and local organizations, in the areas of command area development, on-farm

water management, increase in agriculture production, introducing high value crops, and

processing.

Besides the private sector, the Department of Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives will

implement the project in association with the following institutions of the Department:

o Directorate General Agriculture Extension

o Directorate General Agriculture Research

o Directorate General On-Farm Water Management

o Directorate General Livestock and Dairy Development (Research)

o Directorate General Livestock and Dairy Development (Extension)

o Directorate General Agriculture Engineering, and

o Government of KPK official trained under the USAID Training for Pakistan Project

The PIU will implement the project through envisaging partnerships with the private-sector

companies for the delivery of services (physical activities) and supply of inputs (seed, fertilizers, etc.)

so that these services are available to the water users’ and their organizations even after the

completion of the project. The important thing to mention is that project will be completed in a period

of 60 months but irrigated farming in the command area will continue for indefinite period. Therefore,

involvement of private sector is essential right from the beginning and it is also a priority reflected in

the development strategy of national and provincial development frameworks.

4. Plan Provision

(a) Plan provision:

If the project is included in the medium term/Five Year Plan, specify actual allocation.

Conceptually as part of the medium-term five year plan but no specific allocation is made.

If not included in the current Plan, what warrants its inclusion and how is it now

proposed to be accommodated.

There are directives of President and Prime Minister of Pakistan for the development of command

area and WAPDA has developed PC-Is for the construction of 12 medium dams and development of

command area of these dams in Pakistan. PARC was made responsible for the development of the

command area but due to financial constraints priority was assigned initially for the construction of

12 medium dams.

The Gomal Zam dam is a priority area and falls within the purview of both the federal and provincial

priorities, as of USAID, the donor. “Gomal Zam Dam” is covered in PSDP/ADP projections. It is

also covered by the Planning Commission’s Growth Strategy approved by NEC in 2012 and also

included in Pakistan Water Vision 2025 developed by WAPDA and approved by the federal

4

government. Furthermore, the proposed project will be the first model of integrated and

comprehensive development of command area, water management and productivity enhancement in

the KPK as well as in the country. This will also help to implement Pakistan’s Water Vision 2025 in

letter and spirit.

The proposed project would serve as a support project to the Gomal Zam Dam’s Project and funded

out of the USAID committed funds. With completion of Gomal Zam Dam’s Project, 77,000 ha

(191000 acres) of land will be irrigated in the command area of Districts of D. I. Khan and Tank,

where command area will be developed for improving existing livelihoods and creation of new

employments through value added farming of high value crops using high-efficiency irrigation

systems and livestock production and products. This is the first project in the KPK where along with

the construction of dam, main canal and distributary canals, command area will also be developed

fully using a comprehensive, integrated and participatory approach. The purpose is to develop whole

of the command area rather than using traditional extension approaches of agriculture and livestock

directorates, which are largely based on the concept of demonstrations and trainings at few selected

locations.

The approach suggested for the implementation of the project is comprehensive and integrated in

nature considering the ground realities – i.e. converting the existing Spate irrigation system (Rod-

Kohi farming) to perennial canal irrigation system which can be managed on demand basis by

managing the releases from the reservoir. However, operating rules have to be defined between

WAPDA and Department of Agriculture for assigning shared and balanced priority for irrigation and

power generation.

5. Project objectives and its relationship with sector objectives 5.1. Objectives of the Water Sector

The Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhaw has developed a comprehensive development strategy

(CDS) for the period of 2010-17. The goals and priorities of water and agriculture sectors were

reviewed and summarized as under:

The GoKPK's goals in irrigation are to provide adequate water, both through conservation and

development, to meet the food and fiber requirement of the growing population. This is

consistent with the Pakistan Water Vision 2025, which states: that by “By 2025, Pakistan

should have adequate water available, through proper conservation and development. Water

supplies should be of good quality, equitably distributed and meet the needs of all users

through an efficient management, institutional and legal system that would ensure the

sustainable utilization of water resources and support economic and social development with

due consideration to the environment, quality of life, economic value of resources, ability to

pay and participation of all stakeholders.

The CDS further described objectives of various sub-sectors and objectives related to water for

agriculture are reproduced as under:

5

In water resources development: to provide sufficient water supply for all users, and

promote water conservation through effective planning and decision-making; to regulate

groundwater extraction and improve water quality; and to develop an information base and

increased public awareness of the importance of water;

In irrigation and drainage: to increase efficiency from 40% to 45%; to achieve equity in

water distribution; to increase the irrigated area; to achieve financial sustainability; to

promote stakeholder participation; to reduce waterlogging; to improve capacity; and to

introduce an asset management system;

With regard to the environment: to improve the quality of surface and groundwater to

acceptable standards by 2025;

In flood protection: to focus attention on areas of highest population and economic

importance; preparing flood and drought management strategies for major towns and cities;

and clearly delineate risk zones in the water infrastructure; and

In rainwater harvesting and small dams: to harness unused floodwater and runoff from hill

torrents; to conserve rainwater; and to improve watershed management and flood mitigation.

The short-term strategic priorities related to water for agriculture are to:

implement small dams, rainwater harvesting ponds and actions to harness hill torrents, with

appropriate feasibility studies;

rehabilitate and improve existing irrigation schemes;

upgrade the capacity for integrated water resources management and produce a water

resources master plan and management information system;

promote water conservation;

expand large- and medium-scale water storage capacity;

prepare a plan for the financial sustainability of irrigation and drainage;

implement actions to improve farmers’ participation and cost recovery in irrigation and

drainage; and

prepare plan to expand the irrigated area on all scales.

Many of the short-term priorities will need to be sustained into the medium term. Additional

medium-term strategic priorities related to water for agriculture are to:

implement the plan to increase the irrigated area;

improve integration of different aspects of water resources management;

pilot modern irrigation technologies; and

capacity building in GoKPK institutions.

In addition to these short- and medium-term priorities, there are longer-term strategic priorities,

including:

6

improvements in rainfed farming systems; developing new cultivars with greater water

efficiency; and

building capacity to respond to climate change, including the ability to optimize water use

when supplies are variable. Many of these require a significant increase in spending on

research.

There are five major irrigation investment projects in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Out of these the Gomal

Zam Dam in South Waziristan, Tank and D. I. Khan is already part of the strategy. Furthermore, the

proposed project is going to address all the four medium-term strategic priorities of the GoKPK and

number of short-Term strategic priorities. Therefore, the proposed project is aimed to implement the

GoKPK’s CDS.

5.2. Objectives of the Agriculture Sector

The goal for agriculture sector including livestock is to “ensure food security by enhancing

agricultural and livestock productivity through improved and integrated public support, public-private

partnership, conservation, tax relief and gender mainstreaming. The target set by the National Task

Force on “Food Security” is to achieve real agricultural growth of at least 4% per year over the next

decade, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa aims to match this target.

The strategy defines the following short-term priority policies related to the Command Area

Development and On-Farm Water Management for the Gomal Zam dam:

expanded availability of basic seed to the private seed companies that supply most of the

improved seed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa;

improved efficiency of agricultural markets and maximized incentives for farmers, with

prioritized public-private investment in market, processing and storage facilities;

increased farmer co-operation and participation in government services;

facilitated private investment in livestock, fruit, water management and dairy;

diversification to higher value products, with investment in post-harvest handling, and

diversification into non-farm employment in rural areas to facilitate consolidation of holdings

greater attention to the efficiency of water use; and

Bringing of cultivable wasteland into farming, through provision of irrigation and land

development with the help of earth moving machinery (bulldozers and tractors).

GoKPK recognizes that livestock sector contributes about half of agricultural GDP and will pursue:

private sector and the establishment of milk, meat and egg processing industries through local

and foreign investment, and creation of a Livestock Commercialization Board and Network;

and

Enhancement of livestock productivity through an improved breeding programme and the

conservation of indigenous breeds.

The proposed project fully addresses the short-term strategic priorities for agriculture and livestock

sectors of the GoKPK’s CDS. This makes the proposed project as a comprehensive project addressing

water, agriculture and livestock sectors in an integrated fashion.

7

The specific objectives of the project are:

GZD-CADP (Gomal Zam Dam – Command Area Development and On-Farm Water

Management Project) will provide assistance and funding to the people of Gomal Zam dam

command area in building and operating a modern irrigation system with major considerations for

water productivity (same as the term of ‘water use efficiency’), while providing both food self-

sufficiency and income from high value crops. The development will create jobs, new industries, and

increased opportunity for the people in this fragile ecosystem. These opportunities will provide new

and better livelihoods for all especially women.

The overall expected result is an established on-farm irrigation system that ensures efficient use of

water, achieves enhanced productivity by farmers, improves processing capacity and increases ability

to provide high quality products for markets. These efforts will ultimately lead to increases in income

and employment of the people living in the command area.

The overall objective is that water available for 77000 ha (191,000 acres) of command area of

the Gomal Zam dam is used efficiently through integrated development of command area,

0n-farm water management, productivity enhancement, introduction of high value crops and

livestock breeds, processing and effective marketing.

5.3. Program Outline

The following four Components are suggested for the GZD-CADP.

5.3.1. Phase-I

The following two components will be started during the 1st and 2

nd year of the project and that’s why

are included in Phase-I.

Component #1: Command Area Development and On-Farm Water Management (will be started

in the 1st year)

Component #2: Enhancing productivity of crops, horticulture and livestock (will be started in the 2nd

year)

5.3.2. Phase-II

The value added agriculture and livestock, and marketing components can be undertaken once the

command area is developed fully, that’s why these components are included in Phase-II and will be

initiated in 2nd

year but will gain momentum in the 3rd

year and subsequent years:

Component #3: Value added agriculture and livestock (introduction of high value crops and

highly productive breeds, Feed, and modern management of livestock) Component #4: Marketing of marketable products

The overall objective of the proposed project is in-line with the sectoral objectives as indicated in the

CDS of the GoKPK. The project objectives in reality are drawn from the CDS and cover water for

agriculture, development of command area, on-farm water management, enhancement of productivity

of crops, horticulture and livestock; value added agriculture and livestock, and marketing. A major

part of the funding (i.e. US$ 33 million) is expected from USAID who also provided funding for the

completion of the Gomal Zam dam, which is covered in the CDS and the current project is based on

the concept of efficient and sustainable utilization of stored water in the Gomal Zam dam.

6. Description, Justification, Technical Parameters and Technology

Transfer

6.1. Background information of the project Area 6.1.1. The Province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

The province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is comprised of 25 administrative districts and lies between 31

to 370 N and 70 to 74

0 E. Its geographical area is 10.17 million ha and cultivated area is 1.9 million ha

which is 12.8% and 8.6%, respectively of Pakistan’s geographical and cultivated area. The province is

smallest in terms of geographical area and far behind in terms of cultivated area from that of Punjab

and Sindh provinces. Cultivated or cultivable land is thus limited in the province.

Around 56% of the cultivated area is under rainfed farming and rest is irrigated from perennial and

non-perennial sources of water both from surface and groundwater. In addition to the cultivated areas,

there are around 1.21 million ha, which are classified as culturable waste lands and can be brought

under cultivation, if water is made available.

The province has a highly diversified landscape and environment having five broad physiographic

regions, each having wide variability in climate, soils and topography. The mean annual precipitation

ranging from 250 mm in D. I. Khan to over 1000 mm in Abbottabad. The mean annual temperature

varies from 160 to over 22

0 C. Its diversified climate and microclimatic conditions enable the growth

of large variety of crops, vegetables and fruits in different agro-ecological regions. Food crops (wheat,

maize, sorghum and millets), tobacco, sugarcane, groundnut, fruits (peaches, apples, dates, etc.) and

large variety of vegetables both seasonal and off-season are grown in the province and marketed.

Farming is a small-scale enterprise in the province as 92 % farms are classified as less than 5 ha (12.5

acres) and regarded as subsistence farmers. However, due to specialized ecologies and comparative

advantages in pockets of micro-climatic advantages vegetables and fruits are grown fetching higher

prices in the country’s market. Still there is a wide gap between the current and potential productivity.

The productivity of major crops can be easily doubled if services and supplies are provided effectively

to the farmers along with the credit support.

The topography of the province is highly suitable for the construction of small and medium size dams

with development of irrigated command area along with generation of hydro-power. The Gomal Zam

dam is one of the examples of bringing traditional Spate irrigation area (locally called Rod-Kohi)

under perennial irrigation. The Spate irrigation in the province is the most developed form of

floodwater irrigation in the country.

6.1.2. The Project Area

The project area largely constitutes the command of the Gomal Zam dam located in the districts of D.

I. Khan and Tank. The list of villages of the three Tehsils (Tank, D. I. Khan and Kulachi) is presented

in Table 1. The command area is currently being used as Spate irrigation locally named as Rod-Kohi

farming. Land and ecology is suitable to raise high value crops like fruits and vegetables along with

field crops if perennial irrigation is provided from the stored water in the Gomal Zam dam’s

reservoir.

The command area is divided into three canal-commands and different levels of cropping intensity is

used by WAPDA in the preparation of the detailed designs for the canals – 80, 100 and 120%

cropping intensity; and for the construction of the storage capacity of the dam. More than half of the

command area is placed under cropping intensity of 80%. This shows that irrigation is designed using

the concept of deficit irrigation and therefore high efficiency irrigation systems have to be used

ultimately as farmers are normally interested to have cropping intensity of 200%.

9

This design criterion used for the dam poses physical limitations for the implementation of the

proposed project, where high efficiency irrigation (furrow irrigation on laser leveled fields and two

demonstration farms including drip irrigation on 5 acres each in all of the 393 Mogha commands and

area of Waran canal) is an essential element of the strategy for the development of the command area.

The weather of the project area is hot in summer and moderately cold in winter. Two crops can be

grown each in Rabi and Kharif seasons and there is potential to grow three crops by adopting short-

duration varieties of crops especially vegetables, if water is not a limiting factor. Otherwise, it is

10

adequate for raising one crop as cropping intensity ranges from 80 to 120% under traditional concept

of surface irrigation. But up to three crops can be grown using high efficiency irrigation systems i.e.

furrow irrigation on laser leveled fields in whole of the command area along with 2 demonstrations of

drip irrigation in each Mogha command.

Gross Command Area (GCA) of the project is 109,732 ha comprising of 51,506 ha in Tank, 44,922

ha in Kulachi and 13,304 ha in D. I. Khan. Culturable Command Area (CCA) is 77,353 ha

comprising of 38077 ha in Tank, 35318 ha in Kulachi and 3958 ha in D. I. Khan.

Presently, the command area is irrigated by Spate irrigation. The Spate flows are largely originated

from the Gomal Zam catchment area where floodwater is generated from the hill torrents. There are

two peaks of floods – one in the summer season and other in the winter season. These floods are non-

perennial. However, there are some perennial flows which are basically from groundwater, which

oasis out from the mountains and locally termed as Kalapani.

The floodwater flows are controlled through a diversion weir at the Gomal River locally named as

Zam. The floodwater from the Gomal Zam is diverted into main canals, distributary and minors.

Temporary earthen bunds are constructed to divert water to the farms until irrigation is completed and

then breached so that lower riparian can have his turn. The water rights are well defined in the

Rawajat-a-Rod-Kohi. Bulldozers, tractors and bullocks are used to construct diversion bunds

depending on the size of the flow and the level of diversion of water. Finally, the un-utilized Spate

flows entered in to the Indus River.

The Spate irrigation in Gomal Zam is old as Rod-Kohi farming is being practiced since millenniums.

The floods and droughts are common phenomena in Spate irrigation and due to Spate irrigation since

millenniums, the sediment deposition in the channels and fields have restricted Spate flows to the

areas having hydrological equilibrium. However, the earthen bunds are the best practice followed

since centuries have created hydrological balance in major part of the potential area. The construction

of Pacca controlled structures constructed in the last many decades failed because hydrological

equilibrium in terms of sedimentation could not be maintained. Thus any infrastructure development

in Spate irrigation area has to be properly and effectively designed and constructed.

The Gomal Zam dam will provide a perennial source of water under a well-controlled system of

water releases and will reduce the chances of floods and droughts for farming through provision of

perennial irrigation. Therefore, the command area can be developed for canal irrigation system. The

current landscape of the command area is in eroded and undulating form therefore, innovative options

have to be developed for the development of the command area. The traditional concept of providing

bulldozers for leveling of land will not work as efficient irrigation in situation of water scarcity would

require precision land leveling using laser levelers. Precision land leveling must be seen in the

context of essentiality for high efficiency in surface irrigation including furrow irrigation on laser

leveled fields.

Farmers have been practicing Spate irrigation in difficult environment of too much or too little water

which is a gamble in having efficient irrigation. Once the canal irrigation supplies are available on

perennial basis the Spate farmers will adopt the perennial system easily. The challenge is how to

improve water productivity in the command area of Gomal Zam dam? What is the best cropping

pattern to be adopted by farmers? What is possible level of productivity on sustainable basis? How

water can be used efficiently?

The current economy of the Gomal Zam dam’s command area is largely based on agriculture. The

agriculture production and productivity is dependent on the availability of Spate water so that crops

can be grown at optimal time and then 1-2 Spates during the crop growing season can provide higher

yields of crops without application of fertilizers. For example, in a wet or average year farmers can

11

harvest up to 4 tons/ha of organic wheat. But productivity reduces significantly, if Spates are not in

line with crop planting and growth requirement or frequency of Spates is reduced. One-out-of-four

years there are chances of either crop failure or extremely reduced productivity. Sometime grain

formation is affected and farmers have to harvest the crop for fodders.

The head farmers are getting water in almost every year. The tail farmers are not receiving any water

during the dry years. Therefore, equity in distribution of water is a major challenge faced by the Spate

farmers.

The un-predictability and un-reliability of Spate flows affect the watered area and productivity

considerably. The GoKPK has assigned low priority to Spate irrigation and the most prominent

investment in the past was in the form of bulldozers which are not easily available to the farming

community primarily due to higher demand and politicization of allocation of bulldozer hours.

Government is providing subsidy on bulldozers but it costs high to the GoKPK because of the

inefficiency in the public-sector institution. Only a fraction of farmers get benefit of this facility.

No engineering or knowledge support is provided in developing topographic maps, cut-fill maps, etc.

It is the judgment of the driver regarding bulldozer operations and cut-fill. The bulldozers are suitable

only for reclamation and rough leveling and not for precision leveling. Rather private sector tractor

rental companies in the KPK using Belarus tractors (52 hp or more) provides even cost effective way

of rough leveling.

The farm size in the Spate irrigation area is large. The average field size vary from 2-3 ha. Farmers

apply heavy pre-sowing irrigation of 500-1500 mm in depth and an additional irrigation during crop

growth can mature the crop. Water rights are well established and it is based on the principle of Head

to Tail. The head farmer has first right and the moment he completes irrigation the next farmer gets

his turn.

The soils of the command area are largely classified as alluvial layered soils formed through the

process of sedimentation. The Spate flows are having large amount of sediments having all the major

nutrients. Therefore, most of the farmers are not using any fertilizer.

The major crops grown in the area are: wheat, gram, sorghum, millets, oilseeds and melons. Farmers

can’t grow fruits and vegetables because water reliability and predictability is a major concern.

However, in the perennial Spate flows farmers are growing fruits and vegetables.

The available data indicated that currently wheat is grown on 36.5% area, gram on 2.8%, sugarcane

on 2.8%, fodders on 2.5%, maize 1.6% and rice on 1% of the perennial irrigated area constituting

overall cultivation intensity of 52.7% per annum. The present crop yields and production in the Spate

irrigation area (perennial and non-perennial) are given in Table 2.

6.1.4. Information on Livestock Sector in the GZD-Project Command Area.

The GZD Project command area comprises of D. I. Khan and Tank districts, which are the south most

districts in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Both the districts are famous for Spate irrigation since

unknown times and have almost 50% of all cultivated lands in the province.

Livestock is an integral component, like as in any other rural economy, providing livelihood and

income support for most of the households. Keeping livestock also serves as a buffer in times of

hardship. If crop fails, animals can be slaughtered and consumed or sold in the market to generate

revenue.

Cattle and buffalo are mainly used for milk. Camels and non-milch cattle are used for ploughing,

bund making and transportation besides contributing to meet the meat requirement. Sheep and goat

are used for meat, milk, wool and hides.

Like all Spate irrigation areas, the project command area has considerable number of livestock but

due to indiscriminate breeding practices, most of the herd is “non-descript”. The average milk

production is less than 4 liters/animal/day. All livestock animals mostly depend (in terms of feed)

upon fodders, crop residuals, stalks, shrubs and bushes. There is no trend of growing fodders, since

farmers prefer to cultivate wheat, sugarcane and other high value crops. Statistics show that fodder is

grown only on 2.5% of the total cultivated area in the region which is not enough to meet the

nutritional requirements of livestock. Moreover, there is no awareness regarding the use of non-

conventional feeding resources.

Poultry rearing for egg and meat purposes is also a common practice in the rural areas. The

indigenous poultry breeds, usually referred to as “desi” are the ones mainly reared in these areas.

Their egg production per annum is quite low, around 80 eggs per annum, in comparison to the

commercial layer breeds that produce more than 120 eggs per annum.

Maintenance of livestock and poultry is mainly the responsibility of women in the rural households.

Milk, meat and eggs produced are consumed at the household level to meet the daily requirement. In

the absence of proper milk storage facilities and dairy value chain, the surplus milk is used to make

yogurt, lassi, cottage cheese and traditional sweets. Despite being considered the backbone of the

Spate farming system, livestock is still an underdeveloped sector in the project area.

According to the livestock census 2006, the livestock population in the two districts is 1.81 million,

whereas population of the poultry birds is 1.489 million (Table 3).

Livestock is an integral part of the farming system in the command area districts of D. I. Khan and

Tank and contribute significantly in the livelihood of Spate farmers.

6.2. Existing Facilities

The agriculture, livestock and on-farm water management departments have been devolved at the

district level. The EDO (Agriculture) is responsible for agriculture, livestock, on-farm water

management and other related departments. Thus, coordinated mechanism is already being used by

the district government with the administrative support of DCO. However, the Gomal Zam dam’s

command area is distributed largely in the two districts of Tanks and D. I. Khan. A separate PIU will

be developed to implement the project through envisaging partnership with the private sector.

However, existing facilities of district governments will be used for the implementation of the

project. The existing facilities relevant to the implementation of the Command Area Development

and On-Farm Water Management project are presented in the following sections.

6.2.1. On-Farm Water Management

On-Farm Water Management (OFWM) Directorate General was also devolved and now their staff is

part of the two districts of D. I. Khan and Tank. In addition to this, the OFWM has established

Training Centre to provide training to the staff of the OFWM and farmers in southern region of KPK.

The OFWM is basically involved in the canal command area where their staff has developed capacity

for improving already constructed watercourses, land leveling and high efficiency irrigation systems

through partnership with the private sector.

The OFWM has developed capacity to work with the private-sector under the National Project on

“High Efficiency Irrigation System” and they are relatively ahead of other Directorates of Agriculture

and Livestock. However, the capacity of OFWM for developing command area is limited. Therefore,

they have to adopt the model of private sector already implemented under the federally financed

“High Efficiency Irrigation Systems” Project. The GZD-CAD Project is first of its kind and there is a

need for innovations and adaptations through seeking active partnership of the private sector.

6.2.2. Agriculture Extension

Agriculture Extension services are available in the districts of D. I. Khan and Tank. In addition to

support the extension services, Farm Services Centers are also operational in these districts, where

farmers meet, plan programs and make arrangement for supply of inputs and machinery to the

members not organized based on watercourse command. Moreover, for catering seed requirement of

the area, the department maintains 6 seed farms in D. I. Khan. The seed facility available is hardly

adequate for fraction of farmers in the two districts. Most of the farmers are using their produce as

seed and this is one of the reasons for having low productivity.

The enlightened farmers of the command area are using seed from the private sector companies. The

examples available in other parts of the country provide an insight for analyzing the existing facilities

of seed in KPK. The hybrid maize seed from the private sector companies are now extensively used in

central Punjab (Okara, Sahiwal, Burewala and Arifwala, etc.) by the farmers and getting productivity

of 9-12 tons/ha. Therefore, the existing productivity of the command area can be tripled for maize,

sorghum and millets.

14

6.2.3. Agricultural Engineering

Agricultural Engineering Directorate provides bulldozers on rent to the farmers without any technical

support for land reclamation, land forming and rough land leveling of ravines and gullied lands. They

do not have any capacity in provision of services for land development and the Directorate is

generally regarded as an agency providing bulldozers on rent. The indication of demand for

bulldozers is basically due to the subsidy provided by the GoKPK. Furthermore, they do not have any

capacity for the design of the command area and land development.

The department maintains ten bulldozers but these have completed their life service and through

regular repair these have been made functional. Similarly rigs and power winches are also being

provided to the farmers on rent basis. A well-equipped workshop is also functioning in D. I. Khan by

providing repairing services to the department machinery.

The cost-effectivity of the services is extremely low and GoKPK has to put lot of resources to

maintain such a small fleet of bulldozers. In future, it will be difficult to continue subsidy on

bulldozers rather services from the private sector will be cost-effective to the GoKPK. The private

sector services will be available to all especially the small-holders who do not have access to the

political leadership or the notables of the area. The private sector companies who have established

facilities for earth moving machinery will be encouraged to participate in the development of the

command area. The project will develop incentives and regulatory framework for the strengthening of

existing companies having capacity in earth moving machinery (Large tractors, etc.).

6.2.4. Agriculture Research

The Agriculture Department of GoKPK has established Agricultural Research Institute at D. I. Khan,

mandated for conducting research in crops, fruits and vegetables. Currently, the institute is designed

in a traditional manner having crop improvement programmes. The discipline research is largely

concentrated on crop diseases, crop protection, soils, food technology, etc. They do not have any

capacity in Spate irrigation and currently they do not have any research programme related to Spate

irrigation or Command Area Development or On-Farm Water Management.

PARC has implemented Spate irrigation project during 1995-08 which was largely focused on the

development of secondary-canal supported command area at the pilot scale. The outcome of the

research project is now being used by the donor financed NGOs in the district of D. I. Khan. The

trained team of engineers and scientists of the Spate programme are now absorbed in the regular side

of PARC sponsored Arid Zone Research Institute located at D. I. Khan. This Team can be used as

available resource in the Gomal Zam dam’s command area, if needed.

Pakistan has recently established Pakistan Chapter of the Spate Irrigation Global Network, which is

supported by Meta Meta Netherlands and in Pakistan the collaborators are SPO and PARC.

6.2.5. Livestock Extension and Research Wing

The Livestock and Dairy Development Directorate General of GoKPK has established a network of

more than 34 Veterinary Hospitals/Dispensaries/Centers in the District of Tank and 66 such

institutions in D. I. Khan district, staffed with Veterinary Doctors and Veterinary technicians (Table

4).

The number of female Veterinary Doctors and Veterinary Assistants, working with the Livestock and

Dairy Development Directorate General of GoKPK, is 11 and 36, respectively.

The Directorate is dealing largely with animal health and their capacity is reasonable in the area of

providing veterinary services. The Directorate can continue these services from their existing

resources except some strengthening can be made through provision of medicines and vaccines, if and

where required, through an MOU signed with the PIU of the GZD-CADP.

The Directorate General has an established Veterinary Research Center at D. I. Khan which can

support provision of diagnostic services to the Livestock Extension Programme. The GoKPK may

strengthen facilities of the research institute so that better diagnostic facilities can be provided to the

farmers of the command area. A veterinary research center is also being established at Tank, which

will work under the technical and administrative supervision of the Veterinary Research Center

(South), at D. I. Khan.

The capacity of Livestock Directorate General is limited in livestock productivity enhancement and

that can be strengthened as part of the Command Area Development and On-Farm Water

Management programme. There are none or very few progeny tested bulls and bucks available in the

project command area for breed improvement. Artificial Insemination centers are located at minimum

8 kms radius and in some places up to 40 kms in the command area. Farmers have to take their

animals, to AI centers and pay a certain fee for this service. The local breed semen is of extremely

marginal quality and the good quality imported semen from Frisian or jersey cows being prohibitively

expensive and beyond the reach of most of the livestock owners.

By making progeny tested bulls and bucks (from high yielding local breeds) available at community

level, a breed improvement programme can work successfully in the command area that would result

in enhancement of livestock productivity and conservation of the indigenous breeds simultaneously.

AI centers can still render their services to the livestock in the areas close to these centers where

access is not an issue.

Animal nutrition is an underdeveloped and to some extent ignored aspect of livestock sector in the

command area. There is limited availability of fodders that affects the productivity. There is a need to

introduce improved varieties of seeds for fodders, and hybrids of berseem and lucerne, multicut

grasses such as mot grass, to grow fodders in between major crops and silage making. Through proper

awareness, guidance and capacity building, livestock productivity can be doubled in the project

command area.

Efforts will be made to make use of existing infrastructure as well as available transport of Livestock

and Dairy Development Department to the maximum possible extent so as to economize the services

cost. Only operational costs in terms of medicines, and other related interventions can be provided.

There is a potential to develop fisheries, as an enterprise, in the project command area. Freshwater

fisheries, as practiced in other dams, along with cage fisheries and fish ponds can provide livelihood

to significant number of households and help alleviate poverty by generating direct and indirect

employments while contributing in meeting the meat requirement at both provincial and national

level. Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperative Department seems reluctant to enter into reservoir

fisheries even the scope is very high. The basic reason is that reservoir is under the control of

WAPDA and it is located in South Waziristan. However, in future the use of reservoir for aquatic

food resources has to be entrusted to the Dam’s Organization of water users. Thus the options

16

available for the project are limited only to the use of tail and excess water and link it with water

ponds at the tail-end of the watercourse. The target is to use un-utilized tail water at the end of the

watercourse for multiple uses, if feasible and WUAs are willing to construct such a facility. There is a

strong opinion among the experts of the Agriculture Department that water will not be available for

fish production. But in reality the choice of land use is a farmers’ preference.

6.2.6. USAID Alumni of KPK Experts

The KPK Experts (as alumni) who participated in the study tour of the Colorado State in the USA and

in Australia have desired experience to participate in the implementation of the project. But they have

to compete with other candidates for the project positions.

6.3. Justification of the Project

The GoP and GoKPK has invested large resources for the construction of Gomal Zam dam and

allocations made by the GoP will be further strengthened under this project through provision of

financial resources by USAID. The past experience of construction of small and medium dams

indicated that even after 20 years of the construction of the dam, the area commanded by stored water

is less than 50% and thus investments made in the construction of dams were hardly realized. Rather

the gains in benefits after the construction of the reservoir were lost since last many years of

constructing the dams.

Without a scientifically formulated and effectively implemented command area development, on-

farm water management, productivity enhancement, value addition and marketing, the investments

already made in the construction of the Gomal Zam dam will be rendered pointless in terms of value

added inputs to the provincial and national economies. Therefore, the strategy of “High Value and

High Efficiency Irrigated Agriculture” is at the central stage of the proposed project.

The command area of the Gomal Zam dam is around 77000 ha (191,000 acres), which is quite large.

The command area was initially being used for Rod-Kohi farming using Spate irrigation. The

perennial water to be provided to the farmers of the command area demands that all the 77000 ha

(191,000 acres) have to be reclaimed, formed and precisely leveled so that higher productivity can be

achieved. Unless and until the command area is developed nothing can be done for agricultural crops

or for improving productivity.

There are three canal-commands designed with different cropping intensities. The largest area of

more than half of the total command is designed at cropping intensity of 80%, followed by 100% and

rest at 120% cropping intensity. This shows that water is going to be scarce and farmers will be

interested to achieve cropping intensity of 200%. Thus, the most critical factor is shortage of water.

The system is designed on the concept of water deficit irrigation so that benefit goes to many instead

of few. Therefore, high efficiency irrigation systems i.e. furrow irrigation on laser leveled fields or

drip irrigation are the options to achieve cropping intensity of over 200%.

The proposed project is fully justified because without the command area development and on-farm

water management it is not possible to use stored water for irrigated agriculture. Higher productivity

can be achieved through provision of quality inputs by the private sector through developing

partnerships with FOs. The past experience has shown that without the development of command

area the designed objective could not be achieved even after a period of 20 years. The Tanda dam in

the district of Kohat is an excellent example but the situation in Gomal is rather complex because the

command area needs reclamation, forming and leveling. It is not possible for the farmers to design

the command area for higher productivity without the support of the project.

The investments made in the Command Area Development and On-Farm Water Management can be recovered in a period of 3-5 years. Furthermore, the internal rate of return for the construction

17

of the dam both in economic and financial terms can be accomplished until and unless command area

is precisely developed and made functional. Different designed cropping intensities for the three

canal-commands were used to define water allocations.

6.4. Strategy for Development of Command Area and Water Productivity

The strategy for the development of the command area and productivity enhancement has to be

developed in two phases considering the four components of the proposed project.

6.4.1. Phase-I

Component #1: Command Area Development and On-Farm Water Management

Command area development and on-farm water management component covers aspects of: a)

Feasibility and Master Plan for the GZD-CADP and Mapping and Layout of Rural Katcha Link

Roads and Watercourses for the three canal-commands; and b) Detailed Designs and Estimation of

Quantities of Materials for the Award of Contracts for Implementation of Command Area

Development and On-Farm Water Management Interventions; and c) Supervisory Consultants to

support quality control in construction of various physical interventions and verify quantity of

materials used to authorize payments to the contractors. The priority action areas include: a)

construction of rural Katcha link roads and link these with the existing metaled road to provide access

of every farm to the nearby market; b) land reclamation, forming and land leveling in ravines and

gullied lands; c) field layout; d) construction of watercourses, Pacca Naccas and culverts; e) tail water

ponds for multiple uses; f) sand-filters for provision of clean water for multiple uses; g) furrow

irrigation on precision leveled fields using laser land levelers.

WUAs at the Mogha command will be formed and registered through the process of social

organization under the Act of WUAs of the KPK with the Department of Agriculture, Livestock and

Cooperatives and then federating these WUAs into FWUAs at the canal command and registered as

FO under the NIDA Act of the KPK with the Department of Irrigation and Power. After the

completion of watercourse and related physical infrastructure, test run of the watercourse will be

arranged to ensure effective delivery of water at each Nacca serving the farm command. Trainings

will be organized for the WUAs for the O&M of the watercourse to the men and women for multiple

uses of water (i.e. stockwater, etc.).

The strategy recommended that initially earthen watercourses would be constructed as per

engineering design instead of following the current practice of OFWM where hardly 10-15% length

of the watercourse is lined and rest is kept as earthen. As the water will be having higher levels of

sediments even after having retention in the dam, therefore initially earthen watercourses will be

constructed as per engineering design, which will be more feasible. Therefore, all the Naccas can be

lined using pre-cast Pacca Naccas. Construction of culverts, tail water ponds for multiple uses at the

tail-end of the watercourse and sand filters for multiple water use will be provided in the

watercourses, wherever feasible and WUAs are willing for such a facility to use excess or drainage

water. PE black carbon plastic film of 500 microns can be used to line the pond to eliminate seepage

and also for the sections of the watercourses at critical areas i.e. sandy reaches of the watercourse or

in fill sections. Earthen watercourses will be constructed considering the allocated discharge.

However, in the sandy or light textured soils, the whole length of the channel should be lined using

PE Plastic film so that water reaches to the tail-end without taking much time and losses are

reasonable during delivery. This strategy is also essential as the past experience shows that existing

watercourses lined by the OFWM has serious limitations for effective delivery of water and these

limitations would increase in case of construction of new watercourses. Therefore, any discrepancy in

the Katcha watercourse can be taken care easily.

Once the Katcha watercourses are adjusted to meet the farmers requirement of irrigating whole of the

Mogha command, 10-20% lining of watercourses can be made using brick masonry or pre-cast slabs,

18

whichever feasible. The private sector will be given the responsibility of construction of most of the

interventions in partnership with the FOs and WUAs. The detailed SOPs and technical manuals for

the physical interventions will be prepared in the project, and resources are allocated for this under

the head of technical assistance.

Component #2: Productivity Enhancement of Crops, Horticulture and Livestock

Crops and Horticulture

The productivity enhancement for crops and horticulture includes orientation and training of the

WUAs, as a basic unit of community organization of the Mogha command, in field and horticultural

crops. Furthermore, Interest Groups will be organized for specified commodities in collaboration with

USAID Agribusiness Project. Farmers Field School (FFS) will be used to provide hands on training to

interested farmers in each Mogha.

After providing orientation and training in basic areas of production technology and productivity

demonstrations for high efficiency irrigation systems (furrow irrigation on laser leveled fields,

sprinkler, drip, etc.) will be arranged for field crops, fruits, melons and vegetables considering farm as

a unit. Two demonstrations each of 5 acres for sprinkler and/or drip irrigation will be organized in the

Mogha command and rest of the farm will be designed for furrow irrigation on laser leveled fields,

where planting will be made either on ridges or broad beds. Farm as a whole will be treated as a unit

for developing high efficiency irrigation demonstrations.

Productivity enhancement will be achieved through provision of services from private sector for

inputs like seed, fertilizers, machinery, etc. The objective should be to double the productivity of

major crops from 1.6 tons/ha (in an average year) to 4 tons/ha through adoption of hybrid seeds of

maize, sorghum and millets and improved varieties of wheat and chickpea. Crops like rice and

sugarcane are not recommended. Cropping pattern has to be designed considering the designed

cropping intensity availability of water and type of irrigation systems used in the three canal

commands.

Livestock

The productivity enhancement for livestock includes orientation and training of the WUAs, as a basic

unit of community organization of the Mogha command, in small and large ruminants. Furthermore,

Interest Groups will be organized for specified commodities in collaboration with the USAID Agri

Business Project. The on-job training approach at the farm level of each Mogha command will be

adopted in close partnership with the WUAs and FOs. The major topics of trainings are: a)

improvement of breeds for cattle and small ruminants; b) improving nutrition for cattle and small

ruminants; c) cost-effective livestock housing and management; d) stock water management – quality

and quantity; and e) improved veterinary care.

After providing orientation and training in basic areas of production technology and productivity

demonstrations for livestock, the interventions to be introduced in the command area are: a)

improvement of breeds for cattle and small ruminants through provision of services for artificial

insemination, provision of progeny bulls, rams and bucks; b) demonstration of fodders, silage and

feeds through provision of improved hybrid seeds of fodders and preparation of silage. In addition,

balance feeds for fattening of small and large ruminants and dairy animals for enhanced milk yield

will also be demonstrated; c) demonstrations will be organized for cost-effective and improved

housing for livestock including the provision of quality stock water; e) veterinary care camps will be

arranged in the Mogha commands to provide effective health cover services to the livestock farmers.

Enhancing productivity of livestock and products through provision of services for livestock

production, breed improvement, forage and fodder production, silage, housing and management of

livestock, early disease diagnosis and prevention, small scale enterprise developments and disposal of

19

marketable value added products. The objective should be to double or even triple overall livestock

productivity in terms of milk and meat production through breed improvement programmes by

encouraging farmers to use progeny tested bulls and bucks for breeding, enhanced fodders production

through adoption of hybrid seeds of maize, sorghum and millets and improved varieties of berseem

and multicut grasses such as mot grass and sadabahar. Efforts will also be made to introduce short

season fodders, such as susbania, in between the period of harvesting Rabi crops and plantation of

Kharif crops. Fodders have to be adjusted in the cropping pattern considering the designed cropping

intensity and availability of water to the three canal-commands. Efforts will be made towards

capacity building of livestock owners, primarily females, by providing information, training and

technical support regarding proper animal housing and management. Livestock productivity

enhancement activities have to be designed, developed and adjusted considering the needs and

conditions in the three canal-commands.

6.4.2. Phase-II

Component #3: Value added agriculture and livestock (introduction of high value crops and

highly productive breeds, Feed, and modern management of livestock)

Under this component, the activities will include:

o Introduction of high value crops and livestock breeds in order to improve crop per drop of

water and milk and meat production

o Grading, sorting, packing, packaging, and

o Small scale processing of the surplus produce in order to add further value.’

.

Component #4: Marketing of Marketable Products

This component will focus on:

o Establishment of market linkages,

o Construction of farm to market roads

o Training of producers in marketing, and

o Study tours of the stakeholders to development national and international markets

6.5. Proposed Actions and Details for the GZD-CADP 6.5.1. Phase – I

Component #1: Command Area Development and On-Farm Water Management3

Action Area #1: Feasibility and Formulation of Master Plan for the development of

command area of the three canal-commands with an objective to develop 77000 ha (191,000

acres) of land for canal irrigated agriculture with irrigation facility for the use of perennial

water, Katcha rural link roads, land forming and other related works. Feasibility Consultants

will be hired through quality and cost based bidding. The outline for developing complete

RFP (Request for Proposals) is presented in Annexure I. This would include outline of

context, objectives, activities, scope of the work and manpower requirement. Also identified

the support staff requirement and estimated total cost.

Action Area #2: Mapping and Layout of Katcha link roads and watercourses, where

each of the Mogha will require a watercourse to provide water equitably to the farmers of the

watercourse command and Katcha link roads connected to the metaled road. Consultants will

3 Most of the command area and water management interventions will be introduced by the private sector – land reclamation, forming and rough levelling of ravines and gullied lands, rural Katcha link roads, watercourse, furrow

irrigation on precision levelled fields using laser land levellers, field layout, etc.

20

be hired through quality and cost based bidding. The outline for developing the complete

RFP (Request for Proposals) is presented in Annexure I. This would include an outline of

context, objectives, activities, scope of the work and manpower requirement. Also identified

the support staff requirement and estimated total cost.

Action Area #3a: Organization and registration of Water Users’ Associations (WUAs)

using the process of social organization at each of the watercourse served by the Mogha. The

WUA will be registered under the WUAs Act of the KPK with the Department of

Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives. Federating the WUAs at the canal level will

provide an organizational structure as FWUAs. The FWUAs will be registered as FO

under the NIDA Act of the KPK with the Department of Irrigation and Power. Training of the

representatives of the WUAs in areas of construction of watercourses and O&M of the

irrigation scheme and the command area development and on-farm water management will

be arranged. Traditional formation of WUAs by the OFWM without the adoption of the

social organization process will not work considering the past experience that WUAs

becomes ineffective after the improvement of the watercourse because these organizations

are made just to rehabilitate the watercourses and their capacity in O&M of the watercourses

and distributary canal is hardly upgraded. These organizations have to be involved in other

non-water activities in provision of inputs and disposal of the marketable products to make

them sustainable in the longer run.

Action Area #3b: Organization of Women: The cultural norms do not allow having

representation of the women in the WUAs as they are hardly involved in irrigation. However,

they are very much involved in livestock raising and management including the stockwater,

washing of clothes, collection of domestic water, etc. therefore, their organization at the

watercourse command level or at the level of interest groups will be ensured. The Gender

Consultant and Gender expert will develop the detailed framework of “Gender” in the rural

context to open new avenues for “engendering” the development process. The representatives

of Women Organizations can also be given representation in the WUAs and FOs. The

process of translating the prevailing rhetoric on gender will be one of the activities of the

project. The opinion of Women Interest Groups is essential to finalize the layout of the

watercourse so that requirement of women is fully incorporated in the layout and design.

Action Area #4: Formulation of detailed designs and estimation of quantities of

materials are needed for reclamation, forming and leveling of the command area, farm and

field layout, earthen watercourse with Pacca Naccas, culverts, tail water ponds, sand filters,

etc. Important to note that in the command area groundwater at most of the places is saline

and water for stock and domestic uses is still being drawn from the earthen water storage

ponds. The purpose is to provide relatively safe water for stock and other uses. Earthen

watercourses with lined pre-cast control structures (Naccas, culverts, etc.) are recommended.

Farm to market roads connection will be kept as Katcha link roads with drains on either sides

to dispose the excess rainwater or floodwater. The outline for developing the complete RFP

(Request for Proposals) is presented in Annexure II. This would include the outline of

context, objectives, activities, scope of the work and manpower requirement. Also identified

the support staff requirement and estimated total cost.

Action #5: Precision land leveling of fields for efficient irrigation using Laser levelers is

essential for efficient surface irrigation (i.e. furrow irrigation on laser leveled fields). For this

purpose, the locally available tractor rental enterprises in the private sector will be motivated

to build their capacity in Laser land leveling. The knowledge support and training will be

provided by the OFWM Training Institute, Lahore through an MOU signed between the two

institutions. This institution is now providing international training courses and private sector

companies in Punjab are now exporting Laser Leveling Units to many countries including

India. This facility is important to develop in the private sector because Laser land leveling is

not a one-time job and it has to be repeated after every third year. Laser land leveling is a pre-

21

requisite for efficient surface irrigation (i.e. furrow irrigation). Therefore, this facility should

be available to the farmers locally even after the completion of the project. Important to

mention that tillage, planting, harvesting and threshing support is already being provided by

the private sector tractor and equipment renting services at the local level. Even now combine

harvesters are being provided on rent by these concerns. The GoPu has already strengthened

this network by providing Laser levelers at 50% cost sharing basis. Now these machines are

being manufactured in the central Punjab and some of these firms can be pre-qualified for

bidding and also to provide training to local rental companies in the maintenance of the

equipment. Even private sector Laser Land Leveling Companies from Punjab can bid for this

intervention in partnership with the local companies. Such a model exists for bidding in

consultancies where national companies enter into consortium with international companies.

Similarly a consortium of KPK and Punjab companies can be encouraged.

Action #6: Test running of watercourse and field irrigation by farmers to ensure effective

operation of the command area. Test running will be made to ensure availability of water at

each Nacca allocated to each farm, water delivery time and quantity of water. This will help

to identify the losses. The initial losses will be higher and these will reduce with the process

of sedimentation of the fine particles which takes longer time to settle. Fine tuning will be

done after the completion of the test run based on critical observations. Compaction at

desired moisture contents would help to reduce conveyance losses in earthen watercourses.

Once the watercourse is stabilized and WUA signed the completion document indicating the

equitable distribution of water, the process of lining of up to 20% can be initiated. Otherwise

there are chances of wastage of investments. Measurement of water losses in earthen and

lined watercourses is essential for authorizing the payments and to justify the investments.

Merely lining does not mean that losses are reduced and equity in distribution of water is

improved.

Action #7. Fixing the Warabandi and assisting WUAs and FOs to enforce Warabandi for

equitable distribution of water. The OFWM in consultation with WAPDA and KPK

Department of Irrigation and Power will formulate Warabandi with active participation of the

water users. The Warabandi document has to be signed by all the water users so that it

became a formal Warabandi and registered with the KPK Department of Irrigation and Power

through FOs. FOs will be registered with Irrigation and Power Department under the NIDA

Act. Complete consensus of water users is needed to avoid conflicts on Warabandi and to

avoid court cases.

Action #8: Provide trainings to men for O&M of watercourses and women for the multiple

use of water including stockwater. These trainings will be organized in real-life situation

instead of the OFWM Training Institute and actual field work will be done by the men and

women so that they can perform these functions successfully, off-course separately for men

and women looking at the local cultural norms. The women will be provided training in the

area of stockwater including water hygiene and water health. The WUAs and Women Groups

will be asked to provide feedback for any other training needs and/or evaluate the relevance

and quality of the training.

Component #2: Productivity Enhancement

Crops and Horticulture

Action #1: Capacity Building through orientation and training of WUAs in cropping pattern,

cropping intensity, crop production, productivity, water use, water productivity, and

profitability. Similar trainings will be organized for the Interest Groups organized for the

specific commodities to have specialized farming of high value crops at higher level of

productivity and value addition.

22

Action #2: Productivity enhancement interventions for field crops, fruits and vegetables

include:

o Use of certified seed through developing seed multiplication mechanisms at the level of

watercourse command and distribution system among the farmers for synthetic varieties

of wheat, chickpea, oilseeds, sorghum, fodders, pulses, etc. Important to mention that

pulses are now high value crops due to increase in price.

o Linking with private sector for the provision of hybrid seeds of maize, sorghum, cotton,

etc.

o Balance use of fertilizer through linking FO/FWUA with the private sector

o Demonstration of productivity enhancement trials by the WUAs and FOs/FWUAs in

partnership with the private sector and Directorate General of Agriculture Extension

o Demonstration of high efficiency irrigation systems – permanent raised bed and furrow

irrigation on laser leveled fields for whole of the farm except the demonstration of 5 acres

of drip irrigation for orchards and melons

o Improved seed-bed preparation for furrow irrigation and raising of crops on beds

o Design of cropping pattern and cropping intensity and adjustments with availability of

water. Avoid production of rice and sugarcane as ecology is not suitable for higher

productivity of these crops and having higher water requirement instead include crops

like cotton, guar, pulses, etc. Melons of high quality can be grown in this ecology using

furrow irrigation for broad-beds. Dates are other options.

o Water use – crop production technology is essential as water allocation is extremely low

and the system is designed for 80, 100 and 120% cropping intensity for the three canal-

commands. In irrigated areas of KPK farmers are now getting cropping intensity of

200%. In Soan valley of Punjab, farmers are getting cropping intensity of 400% - i.e.

three crops of cauliflower followed by wheat. Farmers of the command area can be taken

on a study tour to the Soan Valley Development Project in Khushab, Okara Potato and

Vegetables Growers’ Association, Patoki Flowers Growers’ Association, Mitchells

Contact Farmers in Renala Khurd, Okara Military Farms and Vehari cotton farmers to

witness high value and high efficiency irrigated agriculture and role of private sector.

Livestock

Action #1: Capacity Building through orientation and training of WUAs, primarily females,

in effective management of livestock for milk, meat and value added products with an

objective to enhance productivity. Training modules will be developed and delivered

following On-Farm training methodology, with the help of technical staff under the

supervision of L&DD Directorate. Trainings will also be provided in the areas of:

o Stock water management to reduce incidence of water borne diseases in humans as well

as livestock as the same source of water is used for multiple purposes.

o Community Livestock Extension Workers (CLEWs) both male and female will be

identified and trained. A total of 393 CLEWs, one for every Mogha Command, will be

trained for a period of three weeks and given first aid kits with necessary medicines and

equipment along with the mastitis field test kits at the end of the training course. These

CLEWs will provide veterinary first aid and carry out routine vaccinations and

deworming and charge fee for their services. It will help improve their livelihood and

reduce poverty including empowerment of women. They will also serve as

communication channels between community members and L&DD Directorate.

o Raising animals for meat purposes using fattening techniques for small scale sheep and

goat farming.

o Construction and management of tail water ponds at the tail-end of the watercourse to use

the excess and tail-water for multiple uses, wherever feasible and WUAs are willing to

construct such a facility. As water is in short supply so introduction of fisheries will not

be encouraged at the farm level where water is in short.

23

All trainings will focus on developing livestock related activities into sustainable enterprises taking

value chain approach.

Action #2: Productivity Enhancement: Interventions for productivity enhancement will be

introduced in the Mogha commands with active participation of WUAs and the Interest

Groups organized for the specific commodities of livestock. The interventions to be

introduced in the project area are:

o Cattle breed improvement activity will be launched in the command area with the help of

L&DD Directorate by improving the existing AI facilities through import of semen from

high quality bulls of elite gene pool and providing progeny tested bulls from high yielding

local breeds such as Nili-Ravi and/or Kundi. Around 40 progeny buffalo bulls will be

provided to the enlightened farmers for providing services to other livestock farmers on

charge basis.

o Sheep and goat breed improvement, Damani sheep and goats of the command area will be

improved through selection within the breed. Around 80 Damani breeding bucks and/or

rams will be distributed in the command area. Beetal buck and goats will also be

introduced for improved milk and meat production. Beetal bucks and goats will be

provided to initiate programme of livestock with the women. Every member of the

Interest Group will return the first infant for further distribution to other members to set

up small scale farms to provide livelihood to the community members.

o Backyard Poultry improvement activity will be introduced with the women, where efforts

will be made to use selected races of desi Chicken for meat and egg production. A

reasonable size poultry set will be introduced with the Women Poultry Groups.

o Hybrid fodders of berseem, millets, sorghum and lucerne will be introduced along with

short duration fodders, like Susbania, and adjust these into the cropping pattern. Multicut

grasses, like mot-grass and Sadabahar will also be introduced to make sure the year round

availability of fodders for enhanced livestock productivity. Fodder demonstration plots

will be established in the Mogha commands through provision of seed and fertilizers.

Fodders’ Production Interest Groups can also enter in to production of fodders at

commercial scale. Private sector will be responsible for these demonstrations and

provision of inputs to the farmers.

o Demonstration for preparation of silage in black plastic bags will be encouraged to

provide quality feed to the livestock in periods of shortage. Additives will be introduced

to enrich the process of fermentation.

o Tail water ponds will be constructed in the Mogha command, wherever feasible and

WUAs are willing to construct such a facility to store excess or drainage water and to

ensure year round availability of clean water for multiple uses. These ponds would

receive excess, drainage and tail-water.

o Farmers will be educated about the importance of trace elements and minerals, especially

during harsh summer weather and will be encouraged to keep mineral blocks in the

feeding stalls.

o Traditional livestock housing system will be evaluated to identify the areas where

improvement can be made considering the local ecology and materials available for

construction. Indigenous knowledge will be used for the development of low-cost

livestock housing and management. The livestock health and hygiene will be the prime

objective and farmers will be trained in management of livestock and removal of wastes.

Farmers will also be trained in the use of urine and dung for the preparation of composts

24

using the fermentation process. EM (effective microorganisms) will be provided to the

farmers for enhancing the fermentation process. MOU may be developed between PIU

and nature Farming Foundation of Faisalabad to seek technical backstop support and

services for enriched feeds and preparation of organic composts using the animal wastes.

o Trainings will be provided to the Livestock Interest Groups in improved veterinary care

including disease diagnostics, early detection and preventive measures. To improve the

reach of veterinary services, 5 mobile clinics will be deployed to provide round the clock

services to the farmers in the remote parts of command area. An efficient disease

surveillance and response mechanism will be established. Field days will be organized for

the awareness of farmers regarding livestock health and care. Additional awareness about

zoonotic diseases and their prevention will be disseminated among the farmers.

The collective result of all productivity enhancement activities will improve quality and quantity of

milk and value added products. With improved breeds, better nutrition and housing, proper veterinary

care and prophylactic measures, milk production is expected to increase against a target of doubling

the productivity.

6.5.2. Phase-II Component #3: Value Added Agriculture and Livestock

Action #1: Introduction of High Value Crops

o Grading of grains of wheat, sorghum, millets, pulses, etc. for seed purposes and rest for

general use as a commodity

o Grading, packing and storage of fruits – melons, mangoes and dates

o Use of lower grade fruits for secondary processing

o Linkages with Processing industry for marketing of secondary processed products and

demand-orientation for production plans

Action #2: Introduction of Highly Productive Breeds, Feeds, and Modern Management

of Livestock

o Storage of milk and preparation of value added products through provision of cost-

effective chillers using indigenous technology. The milk production Interest Groups will

be trained in the use of chillers. Farmers will also be encouraged to convert excess milk

into value added products such as cottage cheese and traditional sweets like “sohan

halwa” for marketing at provincial and national level. Formal trainings on hygienic

handling of the milk will be provided to the producers to maintain quality of milk and

value added products.

o Livestock products like hair, wool and skins/hides are niche products that fetch very good

prices. Awareness, with regard to the market value of good quality skin/hide will be

created among local enterprises and relevant trainings will be provided. Skin/hide

Collection units will be set up in the command area. Similarly, wool is an important

livestock by-product and thus proper shearing techniques will be introduced for sheep and

camel wool. Private sector will be encouraged to provide trainings on proper removal,

collection, storage and transportation of skin/hides and wool to the tanneries and weaving

industry. The missing element is the local small-scale enterprises which will be the

critical intervention in the project.

Component #4: Marketing of Marketable Products

Crops and Horticulture

25

Action # 1: Access to market information, linkages, local marketing platforms for crops,

fruits, vegetables and products covering aspects of:

o Access to market information through linking FOs with the local market, industry and

markets of neighboring countries for crops, vegetables, fruits and associated products in

the local market and in the markets of neighboring countries

o Strengthening of Market in D.I. Khan through the development of local marketing

platforms for the FOs of the command area through envisaging partnership with local

small entrepreneurs

o Revision of Existing Market Act to ensure participation of private sector in establishment

of specialized markets for crops, fruits and vegetables and associated products.

o Linkages with market and industry through Katcha link roads

Livestock

Action #2: Marketing Channels: GOKPK should allow the private sector to develop the

market by investing in dairy and livestock industry. It would attract foreign investors and

results in well-developed livestock and dairy industry with sound marketing channels. The

important actions are:

o For Value Chain, interventions to be carried to develop a dairy value chain include: a)

networking of the milk collection areas to the metaled road through Katcha link tracks

will be done along with provision of basic amenities like power and gas supply; b) milk

collection units will be formed and with the installation of chillers for the farmers to pool

milk twice a day, which will reduce the losses in the form of spillage and sourage; and c)

a market platform will be established in the command area, with focus on major milk

areas, in collaboration with private sector and connection with value added milk

processing plants.

o Small Scale Enterprise will be established with the involvement of private sector –

sheep, goat, poultry and tail-end ponds for multiple uses and cottage industry for

livestock related value added products of milk and meat.

o Linking with Markets and Access to Market Information through envisaging

partnership with the private sector and the L&DD Directorate through a stable and

efficient value chain. Farmers will be provided information about livestock management,

marketing trends and other subjects related to dairy and livestock industry, field days and

on-farm trainings.

Marketing

Action #3: Construction of Katcha link roads, land reclamation, forming and rough leveling

of ravines and gullied lands, construction of earthen watercourses with Pacca Naccas,

culverts, tail water ponds and sand-filters for multiple uses. Katcha roads will be constructed

to have connection of every farm with the metaled road with drains on each side to dispose

the excess water. Drains and side banks of the Katcha road will be sodded to avoid erosion of

soil and plantations to generation additional resources from forage and fuelwood. Farm

layout will be made so that fields can be formed and precisely leveled for furrow and

drip/sprinkler irrigation. Furrow irrigation can be used as a high efficiency irrigation system,

if practiced on laser leveled fields.

6.6. Activity Matrix

The Activity Matrix is given in Table 5. The Activity matrix indicated major action areas and

activities for the four components of the GZD-CAD Project along with the action-wise cost of four

26

components and project cost. The estimated project cost is Rs. 4.301 billion, where USAID will

provide Rs. 3.069 billion and rest will be contributed by the GoKPK and the farmers. The share

between the GoKPK and farmers would depend on the GoKPK considering the situation in the

command area and capacity of farmers. Farmers’ share is kept as 20% of the intervention cost and

12.23% of the project cost amounting to Rs. 526 million. The suggested share of GoKPK comes to

Rs. 705.796 million covering share both in-cash and in-kind (Tables 5 and 6).

6.7. Supervisory Consultants

The scope of work of the Supervisory Consultants is basically a support role to the PIU as a Third

Party to supervise quantity and quality of all the categories of works of the project and monitoring of

the implementation of works on behalf of the project. They will supervise each and every category of

work and will be involved in all the phases of implementation of these works rights from the

beginning to the completion of the project. Although, their major work will start after a period of 6

months of the start of the project but their bidding process will start early so that they are in place

right from the beginning of the implementation of the physical, social and technical interventions.

The Supervisory Consultants will monitor and supervise the quantity and quality of works for each of

the Mogha command and submit the short reports for each of the Mogha command. Their reports and

data in MSWord and MS Excel files will be valuable information for the monitoring and evaluation

of the project activities and the preparation of QPRs.

The private sector will work in close supervision of the Supervisory Consultants and their payments

for each category of works have to be verified by the Supervisory Consultants. In case of any

objections raised by the Supervisory Consultants, the private sector is supposed to have full

compliance. The bill of quantities and quality for each category of works has to be verified by the

Supervisory Consultants.

Along with the monthly, quarterly and annual reports the Supervisory Consultants will give

presentations to the PIU/PMU and the Chief Coordinator whenever required. The QPRs of the

Supervisory Consultants will provide significant information for the Project QPRs, which will be

acceptable to the GoKPK, GoP and USAID.

The work of Supervisory Consultants is comprehensive and covers all the technical, technological,

social, managerial, and organizational aspects. Therefore a Team of Consultants would be required to

accomplish the task.

6.8. FOs Supports’ Centres

FO will be organized at each of the three canal commands. Therefore for the project three FOs will be

organized. These three FOs will be based on the 393 WUAs, where WUA is organized at each of the

watercourses representing the Mogha command. The FO will be registered with the Department of

Irrigation and Power under the KPK Act of Irrigation and Drainage of 1997 and will be responsible to

manage the O&M of the canal. FO is the formal organization and will be having multi-faceted

activities and would require a building support to carry out all the activities related to water,

agriculture, livestock, value addition, processing and marketing.

For this purpose a small building will be constructed which will be constructed within the canal

command but having proximity to the metaled road, the nearby town and market. The land will be

provided by the farmers (FO).

6.9. Field Office and Facility

A Field Office will be established at the dam site just after the initiation of the project in the

temporary structures available with WAPDA and then a contract will be awarded for the construction

27

of a small building for the Field office and facility for the parking of vehicles and other materials with

security system.

After the completion of the project this building will be handed over to the mega organization of the

farmers of the command area as Gomal Zam Dam’s Organization having members of the three FOs in

the Board of this organization. The land will be provided by WAPDA within their complex.

7. Capital Cost Estimates

Total estimated cost of the GZD-CAD project is Rs. 4300.796 million. The USAID will contribute

US$ 33.00 million (Rs. 3069 million at current prices using 1$=93 Rs.) as a grant. The 1st tranche of

US$ 5.00 million will be required during 2012-13 followed by US$ 7.00, 10.00, 8.00 and 3.00 million

for the subsequent years. The farmers’ share will be around Rs. 526 million @ 20% of total physical

interventions cost; the cost which provide direct benefit to the farmers. The farmers’ contribution is

kept in line with the current practices followed in the National Projects on “Watercourse

Improvement”, as their share in cost of interventions is essential so that they have the sense of

ownership in implementing these interventions. The rest of Rs. 705.796 million will be provided by

the KPK Government both in-cash (Rs. 484.356 million) and in-kind (Rs. 221.44 million). The share

of various contributors in the GZD-CAD Project is given in Table 6. In case of any variation in the

foreign aid by the USAID, the project cost will be accommodated by adjusting the KPK

Government’s share accordingly.

The summary of project cost and share of each partner during the project duration is given in Table 7.

The details of the budget break up for the project and components are given in the Annexure IV to

VIII. The contribution of GoKPK to the proposed project is both in-cash and in-kind. The details of

the in-kind contribution of GoKPK are presented in Annexure IX. The in-kind contribution of

GoKPK is over and above the Project Base Cost, and this contribution along with contingencies and

the Project Base Cost provide the estimated total project cost.

7.1. Indicate Date of Estimation of Project Cost

The Project cost estimates are worked out on the basis of prevailing rates in the open market in June,

2012. The inflation rate was quite high in the last few years therefore inflation factor has to be

considered due to expected variations in prices of physical interventions, fuel and increase in salary.

Therefore, the current procedure of permissible increase of 15% over and above the total cost of the

PC-I will take care some of the increases in prices due to inflation and other factors. But there will be

some expected increase in the project cost based on inflation trends in the country.

7.2. Basis of Determining the Capital Cost

Capital cost of project is based on the prevailing market rates of various items available in the open

market. The cost estimates of physical interventions i.e. construction of Katcha link roads, land

reclamation and forming of ravines and gullied lands, watercourse construction, precision laser land

levelling and field layout, tail water ponds and multiple uses of water, value addition and marketing

are based on the current market prices. As the physiography and topography of the command area are

quite variable therefore a programme approach is adopted instead of project approach where cost of

single intervention is estimated. The cost of single intervention was estimated and then packaged so

that a more realistic cost is estimated based on the feasibility and detailed design of each of the

intervention. Such flexibility is essential in implementing an integrated and comprehensive project of

command area development covering water, agriculture and livestock sectors.

The command area has to be developed from the scratch as there is not any model available in the

country. The project is completely different than the conventional watercourse improvement and

installation of high efficiency irrigation systems. Because in the command area, there does not exist

any watercourse and fields need major reclamation and levelling. Therefore, the approach of package

of interventions will work effectively. The cost of package of intervention is based on average

estimation and it will vary within the 393 Mogha commands. Specifications and standards will be

developed by the consultants before preparing the detailed designs and estimating quantities of

materials and will be approved by the Steering Committee. Farmers will provide their share upfront in

cash. In-kind support in the form of labour will be additional to the upfront cash support and will be

worked out by the consultants considering the ground realities and purpose of accomplishing the

quality of physical works.

The unit cost based on total physical, social, and agricultural interventions’ comes to Rs. 19941/acre

which is highly cost-effective looking at the package of interventions included in the project. The unit

cost based on the total project cost is Rs. 26386/acre, which is also highly cost-effective. The basic

reason for this higher cost-effectivity is that most of the interventions are designed so that benefit goes

to many instead of few i.e. Katcha road tracks, watercourse construction, command area development,

on-farm water management and demonstrations on Mogha command basis. The WUAs and FOs will

be active partners in implementing project interventions.

The project will be executed through the newly recruited professionals, who will be offered salary

package announced by the Project Policy of 2008 No. SOR-VI/E&AD/1-25/2007 and subsequent

updates of the Regulation Wing of the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Establishment &

Administration Department, the lump sum salary package for directly recruited staff is used for

estimating salary costs with 5% annual increment up to the maximum as provided in Table 8.

In addition, to the project employees recruited directly under a package salary, some of the staff of the

line departments will be deputed to work on the project and for the deputed employees additional charge

allowance will be provided by the project, in addition to the cost of TA/DA, fuel and maintenance of

department vehicles, etc. Their salary and routine allowances will be provided by the KPK line

departments. Similarly, any officer/official of the partner institutions other than line departments, if

posted on transfer (deputation), in the GZD-CAD Project, he/she will be provided similar support, but not

the salary and routine allowances. The operational cost required for implementing the project

interventions will be provided in addition to the charge allowance. The policy of the KPK government

will be followed strictly.

For effective implementation of the project, counterpart in each of the partners’ institutions will be

declared by their respective directorates, who will interact with the PD-PIU and respective Component

Leaders for effective implementation.

The Heads of the partners’ institutions will also be providing some of their time to guide their staff in

effective implementation of the project and as a member of the Steering Committee they will be having

responsibility to frame MOUs for signature jointly with the PD of the PIU. In lieu of their time, a charge

allowance and cost of TA/DA and travel exclusively for the project purposes will be part of the MOU.

Lump sum amount is kept in the project for this purpose.

Other than line departments, some other partners’ institutions may also contribute in R&D activities and

training and similar MOUs will be signed by them with the PD-PIU.

Moreover, if the Provincial Government announces any other allowance/incentives in future for the

project employees, the same will be made applicable and met out of the existing budget of the Project,

if possible or within the limit of exceeding the cost of 15% if the donor and GoKPK agrees.

36

7.3. Annual Component-Wise Estimation of Physical Activities and Financial Requirements

The year-wise and component-wise estimation of physical activities and financial requirements is

given in Table 9. The approach of package of interventions is adopted to provide flexibility to adjust

the needs of the farmers and their preferences, site-specificity and ground reality. These parameters

will determine the exact choice of the package of interventions within the average cost estimated for

the package. Actual cost will vary but the project average will stay same. However, targets for the

package have been fixed.

In addition to physical interventions, social, agricultural and training interventions are also part of the

project and essential for improving performance of irrigated agriculture in the newly developed

command area. The physical targets and financial requirements are given in Table 10.

Feasibility, mapping, layout and detailed design are essential for implementing physical interventions.

Furthermore, Supervisory Consultants are also needed to supervise the construction work of various

activities. Technical assistance is essential for innovative projects along with research to build

capacity of training and research institutions so that they can impart effective trainings at all levels.

The physical and financial requirements are presented in Table 11.

7.4. Exchange rate used to work out FEC in the PC-I

The USAID has shown willingness to provide US$ 33.00 million (Rs. 3069 million at current prices)

to this project as a grant. The exchange rate used to work out the Foreign Exchange Component in

the PC-I is 1 USD = 93.0 Rs.

8. Annual Operating and Maintenance Cost after Project Completion

It is expected that after closure of the project and termination of KPK government support the

operation of the command area and irrigated agriculture will continue on its own momentum, as this is

the prime responsibility of farmers, WUAs, FOs and Dam’s Organization. The private sector would

be able to establish sales and service network during the project period and their experienced staff will

continue providing services to the farmers and their organizations even after the completion of the

project. They will continue pushing the technology aggressively and providing after sales services at

rates acceptable to the farmers. The existing regular staff of district agriculture section would take

over the remaining activities (communication strategy for farmers regarding the project, farmers’

awareness campaigns, field days at the demonstration sites established by the project, farmers’

trainings in collaboration with the private sector, development of training curriculum and materials in

collaboration with PIU and private sector, and support to the PIU’s monitoring and evaluation system.

Farmers will be responsible for O&M of the command area and replacement of any part of

interventions after the completion of the project. Hence, there would be no recurring expenditure for

the completed schemes under the GZD-CADP.

9. Demand and Supply Analysis

The details of the demand-supply analysis are given in Table 12. All the parameters indicated in the

PC-I format are not applicable to this project. As farmers will be responsible for farming, production

and marketing the demand and supply analysis for interventions is not applicable to this project.

However, in general, there is always a demand for the development of the command area once water

supply is available from the dam. The benefits of investments in the dam for storage of water can be

achieved only if the command area is fully developed and farmers are in a position to farm whole of

the command area within limits of water availability. They will adjust their cropping pattern and

cropping intensity accordingly. As the canal network and command area will be developed for a

cropping intensity of 80, 100 and 120% for the three canal-commands, farmers will be trying to use

water efficiently to accomplish a cropping intensity of at least 200%. Thus both horizontal and

vertical development in production will be the target of the farmer.

10. Financial Plan and Source of Financing The Department of Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperative through the PMU/PIU of the project

would make the decision in respect of allocation of funds to various components of the projects as per

PC-I for implementation of the project. The funds allocated in ADP would be transferred to the

specifically opened Project Assignment Account. The provincial government will be responsible to

provide funding to PMU covering both the shares of GOKPK and USAID. Farmers’ share will be

deposited in the project account by the office of the PIU or adjusted against the payment to private

sector if such payments are collected by the private sector. A viable method has to be selected for

upfront collection from farmers. Details SOPs will be developed for financial management and

operation in the project.

Allocated funds would be transferred to the designated account as per government instructions. The

project budget would be channelled through the designated Bank(s) for payment to private sector as

per approved procedure. The project financial flow mechanism is described in the Annexure IX.

PMU/PIU would be responsible to follow prescribed procedure for incurring expenditure(s) ensuring

meeting all audit requirements as agreed upon and would furnish monthly-reconciled statement of

expenditure and audit account/report regularly to the Chief Coordinator of the Project for further

action and transmission to the concerned quarters.

10.1. Equity

10.2. Debt Not applicable

10.3. Grants along with sources

The major source of project funding is from USAID and will provide up to US$ 33.00 million (Rs.

3069.000 million at current prices) as a grant. In case of any change in USAID’s financial support or

changes in the exchange rate, the share of KPK Government will be increased or decreased

accordingly. The USAID indicated that GoKPK utilizes their contribution mainly for the command

area development and on-farm water management interventions, technical support, training, and

monitoring. Also, USAID indicated its interest to invest their contribution solely for the command

area farmers including women related activities.

10.4. Weighted cost of capital Not Applicable

11. Project Benefits and Analysis

11.1. Financial Benefits

There is no direct income to the project; however, with completion of each scheme (Mogha

command), a gross income of at least Rs. 57,200 per acre per year is expected to be accrued to the

farmers only from wheat crop (considering yield of 40 maunds per acre along with straw of 60

maunds per acre) with 100% cropping intensity, which is a contribution towards economic

development. It will increase further if farmers adopt high value crops and/or increase the cropping

intensity. It is expected that gross income will increase at least to Rs. 100,000 per acre with high value

crops and will increase further with value added agriculture and livestock. It is safe to estimate that

the net returns are half of the gross returns to the farmers for high value crops and more than half for

cereals. Therefore, farmers’ net returns from wheat will be around Rs. 28600/acre and will increase to

Rs. 50,000/acre if high value crops are included in the cropping pattern.

11.2. Economic Benefits

General feasibility and simplified economic analysis has been undertaken in the formulation of the

PC-I. On the basis of that analysis the project is highly viable. The details are:

The unit cost for developing the command area is Rs. 26385/acre considering the project cost

and the command area of 191000 acres.

The gross returns from wheat alone will be around Rs. 57200 per acre, using yield of wheat

grain of 4 tons/ha (40 maunds/acre) and price of Rs. 9.50 per kg and wheat straw of 6 tons/ha

(60 maunds/acre) and price of Rs. 3.0 per kg. Roughly the gross BCR is 2:1, whereas the net

BCR is around 1:1 after the first year of cropping in whole of the command area. That is

expected at the end of the project, when whole of the command area is fully developed.

Considering the cropping intensity of 100% and wheat crop alone would provide gross value

production of Rs. 9324 million at current prices and in nominal terms.

Considering current average wheat yield of 1.6 tons/ha, the additional gross value production

from the project interventions would be around Rs. 5594 million per annum at current prices.

The returns would increase further either through increasing the cropping intensity, or use of

high value agriculture or enhancing the productivity. The cropping pattern will change after

completion of the project.

There will be increase in livelihood for the local labour. It is estimated that 15000 new jobs

will be generated at the farm level during the project duration, once the whole of the

command area is developed and farmers started raising crops on the farms.

The livestock production and productivity will also increase as it is not possible to review the

livestock economic returns because of size of herds and type of livestock.

42

The link to metaled roads, development of small-scale enterprises, marketing of produce and

products to the nearby markets and towns would generate economic activity which might be

of the same size of returns from agriculture.

Time does not permit to conduct full economic analysis for the computation of Net Present Value

using a specified and prevailing Discount Rates, BCR of project and EIRR. The three canal-

commands are designed for three different cropping intensity levels therefore full economic analysis

is needed for each of the three canal-commands. For this purpose, life of the project can be taken as

25 years.

11.3. Social Benefit with Indicator

The social benefits of the proposed project are given as under:

Improved, enhanced and new opportunities for livelihood generation reducing the poverty of

fragile ecosystem

Increased access to nearby towns and markets resulting in improved health, education and

employment opportunities

Empowerment of women and children

Reduced migration due to provision of perennial water supplies and year round farming thus

reducing the risks associated with floods and droughts common with any Spate irrigation and

Rod-kohi farming systems

Enhanced employment opportunities directly or indirectly and generation of local enterprises

would reduce the risks associated due to unemployment i.e. security and stability of the

fragile ecosystem

In addition to the abovementioned social benefits of the project, the project will also generate many

forward and backward linkages with private sector including the plastic and agro-based industry and

agriculture-businesses. It is expected that large number of direct/indirect employments would be

generated under the project through the involvement of private sector. As the agriculture activities in

the project area are the continuing activities, therefore these employments will be sustained even after

the completion of the project. Considerable numbers of high paying jobs will be generated in the

private sector for technicians and graduates in provision of services and supplies for high-value and

high efficiency irrigated farming in the command area. There will be some impacts due to diffusion

and transfer of technologies even after the completion of the project like high efficiency irrigation,

value addition and small scale enterprises these benefits will further enhanced in the future.

11.4. Environmental Impacts

Project is environment friendly and would not cause any adverse environmental concerns normally

associated with the new development, resettlement, depletion of land and water resources, and loss of

wildlife habitats. Project is expected to minimize the use of pesticides/herbicide besides improving

soil health. The use of plastic tube in installation of drip irrigation system would be recycled to

prevent environmental degradation. Pakistan and especially the KPK is one of the best examples of

having system of recycling. The beneficial impacts are listed as under:

Mitigation of damages caused to agriculture, livestock and settlements due to droughts and

floods due to storage of water and releases for perennial irrigated agriculture

Reduced soil erosion due to wind/ water because of the improved landscape and surface cover

Enhanced release and recycling of oxygen will reduced the impacts of greenhouse gases of

Carbon dioxide

Recharge of depleting ground water and increased potential of creating shallow layer of fresh

groundwater due to seepage and transit losses

Efficient irrigation will reduce risks of leaching nitrates and other chemicals soluble in water.

43

11.5 Sensitivity Analysis

Sensitivity analysis made in the Gomal Zam Dam construction project holds true for the proposed

project as the dam’s feasibility is dependent on agricultural development and production.

11.6 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect)

The implementation of project would provide enhanced employment opportunities to the rural as well

as urban population in sectors of agriculture, processing, agro-based industries, agri-businesses, and

small-scale enterprise development. About 111 people will be directly employed by the project itself.

Furthermore, a number of private sector companies will recruit hundreds of skilled labor for provision

of services and supplies including design, installation and operation of high efficiency irrigation

systems. Local private industry dealing with high value and high efficiency irrigated agriculture will

open new avenues of employment for skilled workers. Improvements in crop yields will also boost

economic activity in rural areas that will also create further employment options for over 15000

labourers.

13. Management Structure and Manpower Requirements

13.3. Administrative Arrangements for Implementation of Project

The project will be managed by the PMU, which will be established in the Department of Agriculture,

Livestock and Cooperatives at Peshawar. This is the essential administrative requirement for effective

management of the project. For effective implementation of the innovative interventions in an

integrated manner, the PIU will be placed in the real-life situation closer to the project area and will

be located in D. I. Khan. The Field Office of the command area will be established in the GZD Project

Area initially using some of the infrastructure available with WAPDA and later on shift to the

specifically constructed Field Office under the project. The construction of Field Office will take time

and thus temporary arrangement will be made in the beginning. After the completion of the Project,

the Field office will be used by the Dam’s Organization comprising of 3 FOs and 393 WUAs.

Project Steering Committee (PSC)

The administrative and institutional structure for steering the implementation of GZD-CAD Project

has been kept as lean as possible so that effective implementation is ensured. The PMU will be

governed by the PSC comprising of following 16 members including Chairman of the PSC:

Additional Chief Secretary , P&D Department Chairman

Secretary Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperative Member

Member Water, WAPDA

Representative of Department of Planning and Development Member

Representative of Department of Finance Member

Representative of Department of Irrigation and Power Member

DCO, District D. I. Khan Member

DCO, District Tank Member

Enlightened Farmers (Three) Member

Experts in Personal Capacity (Two) Member

Representative of USAID Member

Project Director, PIU Member

Project Director, PMU Member/Secretary

The visual illustration of the organization of the PSC is presented in Figure 4a. PSC would be

authorized to make necessary adjustments and corrections in the administrative, implementation and

financial modalities to remove difficulties besides allocation/reallocation of financial resources

according to ground realities, without changing overall scope of the project. In order to cover the

variability due to specific conditions of the project area, type of interventions and other inflation

factors, the PSC may review the cost of interventions and make changes accordingly to facilitate

smooth implementation of the project. The PSC will meet at least twice during each project year to

monitor progress and achievements, discuss project related issues, review action plans, and provide

guidelines for future course of action. In the beginning more frequent meetings would be required for

taking off the project.

Project Implementation Committee (PIC)

The administrative structure for the implementation of the GZD-CAD Project has been kept as lean as

possible to ensure effective implementation. The PIU will be governed by the PIC comprising of

following 9 members including Chairman of the PIC:

Secretary Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperative Chairman

Director General, Agriculture Extension, Member

Director General, Agricultural Research Member

Director General, Water Management Member

49

Director General, Livestock and Dairy Development Member

Director, Agricultural Engineering Member

Representative of GZD, WAPDA Member

Project Director, PMU Member

Project Director, PIU Member/Secretary

The visual illustration of the organization of the Project Implementation Committee (PIC) is presented

in Figure 4b. PIC would be authorized to review the progress of implementation and work as

Executive Committee of the PSC. PIC will ensure effective implementation of the project and remove

the bottlenecks and hurdles faced by the PIU. Also identify necessary adjustments and corrections in

the administrative, implementation and financial modalities to remove difficulties besides

allocation/reallocation of financial resources according to ground realities, without changing overall

scope of the project for the approval of the PSC. In order to cover the variability due to specific

conditions of the project area, type of interventions and other inflation factors, the PIC may review the

cost of interventions and suggest changes accordingly for the approval of the PSC. The PIC will meet

at least on quarterly basis during each project year to monitor progress and implementation of the

project. In the beginning monthly meetings would be required for taking off the project.

Strategy for Project Implementation

Major elements of the strategy for the implementation arrangements of the GZD-CAD Project are:

Project overall management will be the responsibility of the PMU established at the office of

Secretary, Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperative. It will be a very small Unit to oversee the

implementation and coordination among the line Departments at the provincial headquarters.

Project will be implemented by the PIU, which will be established in D. I. Khan under the

Department of Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives. The PIU will be responsible for

overall implementation of the project considering implementation of innovative interventions

in an integrated fashion. However, PIU will enter in to an agreement with the partner line

departments for contracting the specific assignments related to knowledge, technical

backstopping, training and demonstrations.

Feasibility, master plan development, detailed engineering designs and bill of quantity of

materials will be conducted by the consulting firms through cost and quality based bidding.

Only the pre-qualified companies and firms can compete in the bidding process.

Supervisory consultants will be selected based on cost and quality based bidding criteria and

will work as third party for the supervision of implementation of the project interventions.

Only the pre-qualified firms will be allowed to participate in the bidding process. Detailed

RFPs will be developed for pre-qualification and bidding of specific contracts. However, a

brief outline is given in the PC-I for the three RFPs.

The physical and biological interventions will be implemented by the private sector and only

pre-qualified private sector companies will participate in the bidding process based on cost

and quality based bidding criteria. Private sector companies will also be responsible to

provide O&M services for a period of 2 years after completion of interventions and during

this period they will be responsible to train the members of FOs and WUAs.

Some of the interventions especially in the area of productivity enhancement, value addition

and marketing will be undertaken by the line departments. The PIU will enter into an MOU

with the partner line departments/institutions for the implementation of the action area or

activity. The PIU will provide funding as per agreement between the PIU and the line

department/institution.

50

No specific budget allocation is made for the line departments or institutions but PIU is

authorized as per PC-I to enter into an MOU for acquiring services from the line departments

and institutions. The concept of Result Based Monitoring as recommended by the Planning

Commission will be used and MOU will be based on result-oriented funding rather than

supply side funding. However, a small grant as a support to strengthen the operational

capacity of the line departments is provided in the PC-I, which will be provided to these

institutions after the approval of the Steering Committee. For this purpose, the proposal will

be prepared by the PIU and recommended by the PIC.

GZD-CADP is not a project for strengthening of the line department’s institutions rather it is

aimed for command area development, on-farm water management and productivity

enhancement, therefore result based contracts will be developed for acquiring services from

public and private sectors..

Steering Committee will be responsible for overall administrative control of the project

implementation and provide policy guidelines for effective and efficient implementation of

the GZD-CAD Project.

Full time technical and support staff is provided for the project so that quality and timely

implementation is accomplished. Salaries allowed by the GoKPK for project employees

(fixed rates) will be used. In case the Line Department depute some of their staff on full-time

basis, arrangements will be made with USAID so that fixed salary package can also be

provided to such employees, off course through the competitive basis. The line departments

will also provide in-kind support over and above the project full time manpower and details of

this support is given in Annexure IX.

Project manpower will be recruited solely on merit basis and as per qualifications identified

for various positions. The officers of the line departments having similar qualifications can

also compete for the project positions.

The project is aimed to develop a new, innovative and integrated approach for the

development of command area, water management and productivity enhancement so that the

new approach can be scaled up in rest of the dams in the country. Therefore, innovative

interventions are suggested.

Annual fares and competitions of farmers and WUAs will be organized to motivate farmers

and WUAs to enhance productivity of land and water and awards (certificate and in kind

awards like seed of hybrids, etc.) will be provided to the winners.

Gender focus will be essential element of the strategy and mainstreaming activities will be

introduced in the command area.

Financial, Procurement, and Human Resource Management

The project will have manuals with detailed SOPs for financial management, procurement and human

resource management which will be based on the GoP systems in line with the USAID requirement.

GoP rules regarding Assignment Account and PIFRA systems will be strictly adhered to in relation to

financial and procurement management. The Auditor General of Pakistan will audit the accounts of

the Program and its use in accordance with internationally accepted auditing standards.

All procurement actions undertaken by the PIU must be consistent with the GoP and GoKPK laws,

regulation, rules, policies, and procedures. The Project will adhere to the applicable procurement

rules, regulation, policy guidelines and related pronouncements issued by the GoKPK.

51

Financial, Accounts and Administration Sections will jointly be responsible for financial, accounting,

procurement, and HR management related to the Project.

PC-I ensures that proper human resources will be made available with appropriate description of

duties, lines of reporting, package salary in accordance with the grade system as per policy of the

GoKPK, appropriate qualification, and segregation of duties, etc.

The Manuals and software already available for project management (from GoP and other sources i.e.

USAID and donors) will be evaluated to select the best suited for use in the project. The GoP has

already developed computer software for the financial and accounting management for projects and

same can also be adopted.

Monitoring & Evaluation

Monitoring & Evaluation system developed by the Planning Commission of Pakistan will be used

along with any other suitable software developed for this purpose. The RBM matrix is given in Table

12 and Section 12.2. The PD, Component Head and Sectional Heads of PIU along with Team of

Supervisory Consultants will further expand the RBM matrix and identify quantifiable targets and

expected impacts.

Quarterly Progress Report (QPR) will be prepared using the PC-III Performa. It will include both

program (physical) and financial progress indicators. However, the indicators included in the PC-III

will also conform to the Performance Management Plan guidelines of the USAID.

Draft QPR will be prepared by the PIU and will be reviewed by the PMU in a joint meeting with all

stakeholders. Final QPR will be shared with GoKPK, Planning Commission and USAID.

A simple format will be developed to record the findings and decisions of field visits conducted

during a month by the officers of the PIU. The format may contain a narrative of the visit and list of

key issues for decisions, course correction or follow-up. Based on the monthly field visit reports, a

Quarterly Monitoring Report (QMR) will be prepared.

The monthly and quarterly reports of the Supervisory Consultants will provide the basis for the

preparation of QPR of the project as their reports will provide basic data for the progress of

implementation of various interventions. The Supervisory Consultants will work as third party and

thus their reports will be providing reliable data and information for M&E reports. One of the major

roles of the Supervisory Consultants is to verify the quantity and quality of implementation of various

interventions therefore it is not required to have separate staff with the M&E Specialist. The M&E

Specialist will work in close association with the Supervisory Consultants.

As full-time Supervisory Consultants will be recruited for the verification of the quantity and quality

of interventions, therefore traditional concept of M&E system will not be required. The M&E

Specialist will provide all the necessary input while developing framework for the Supervisory

Consultants.

A Mid-term review will be conducted by a Third Party to ensure that the project is progressing in the

right direction. Project completion report will be administered by the PMU through a consultant in

accordance with the PC-IV format. This will ensure further processing of SNEs.

M&E, Planning and Reporting Specialists have been proposed under the PMU/PIU to be able to meet

monitoring and reporting requirements of the GOKPK and USAID. Detailed M&E structure and

terms of reference will be developed as part of the M&E Manual.

52

Internal Audit

The PMU and PIU will establish system of internal audit for the project activities both at the

Peshawar and D. I. Khan. The PMU will also be responsible for the conduct of the external audits of

the project in line with the requirement of the GoKPK and USAID. The required staff for internal

audit has been included both for the PMU and PIU.

13.4. Manpower Requirements

The technical manpower requirement of the GZD-CAD is given in Table 14. The manpower required

for the project is of full time nature; therefore these personnel will be placed under the administrative

control of the PMU/PIU for effective implementation of the project. The organizational structure of

PMU and related Components of PIU is given in Figures 5 to 9.

Annexure I. Outline for the RFP for the Consultants for the conduct of the “Feasibility

and Formulation of Master Plan”

1.1. The Context

Background

The proposed project would serve as a support project to the Gomal Zam Dam Project and funded out

of the USAID committed funds. With completion of Gomal Zam Dam Project, 77,000 ha (191000

acres) of land will be irrigated in the command area (Districts of D. I. Khan and Tank), where

command area will be developed for improving livelihoods and creation of new employments

through value added farming of high value crops using high-efficiency irrigation systems and

livestock production and products. This is the first project in the KPK where along with the

construction of dam, main canal and distributary canals, command area will also be developed fully

using a comprehensive, integrated and participatory approach. The purpose is to develop whole of the

command area rather than using traditional approaches of agriculture and livestock extension, which

are largely based on the concept of demonstration and training. The project is primarily aimed to

develop farming as an enterprise.

GZD-CAD Project will provide assistance and funding to the people of Gomal Zam dam command

area in building and operating a modern irrigation system with major considerations for water

productivity (same as the term of ‘water use efficiency’), while providing both food self-sufficiency

and income from high value crops. The development will create jobs, new industries, and increased

opportunity for the people in this fragile ecosystem. These opportunities will provide new and better

livelihoods for all especially women.

Overall Expected Results and Overall Purpose of the Project

The overall expected result is an established on-farm irrigation system that ensures efficient use of

water, achieves enhanced productivity by farmers, improves processing capacity and increases ability

to provide high quality products for markets. These efforts will ultimately lead to increases in income

and employment of the people living in the command area.

The overall purpose is that water available for 77000 ha (191,000 acres) of command area of the

Gomal Zam dam is used efficiently through integrated development of command area, farm water

management, productivity enhancement, value addition, processing and effective marketing.

Program Outline

The following four Components are suggested for the GZD-CADP.

Phase-I: The following two components can be started right from the beginning and that’s why are

included in Phase-I.

Component #1: Command area development and on-farm water management (will be started in 1st

years)

Component #2: Enhancing productivity of crops, horticulture and livestock (will be started in 2nd

year)

Phase-II: The value addition, processing and marketing components can be undertaken once the

command area is developed fully, i.e. the 3rd

year of the implementation of the project and that’s why

these components are included in Phase-II:

Component #3: Value Added Agriculture and Livestock

Component #4: Marketing of marketable products

76

Overall Objectives of the Project

The overall objective of the proposed project is in-line with the sectoral objectives as indicated in the

Comprehensive Development Strategy (CDS) of the GoKPK. The project objectives in reality are

drawn from the CDS of the GoKPK and cover water for agriculture, development of command area,

enhancement of productivity of crops, horticulture and livestock, value addition, processing and

marketing. The funding is expected from USAID who also provided funding for the completion of the

Gomal Zam dam, which is covered in the CDS and the current project is based on the concept of

efficient and sustainable utilization of stored water in the Gomal Zam dam.

Feasibility and Formulation of Master Plan for the three Canal commands

The study entitled “Feasibility and Formulation of Master Plan for the development of command

area of the three canal commands of the Gomal Zam Dam is aimed to develop 77000 ha (191,000

acres) of land for canal irrigated agriculture with irrigation facility for the use of perennial water,

Katcha rural link roads, land forming and other related works. Feasibility Consultants will be hired

through quality and cost based bidding. The outline for developing complete RFP (Request for

Proposals) is presented in the following sections. This includes outline of objectives, activities, scope

of the work and manpower requirement. Also identified the support staff requirement and estimated

2.1. The Context

Background

The proposed project would serve as a support project to the Gomal Zam Dam Project and funded out

of the USAID committed funds. With completion of Gomal Zam Dam Project, 77,000 ha (191000

acres) of land will be irrigated in the command area (Districts of D. I. Khan and Tank), where

command area will be developed for improving livelihoods and creation of new employments

through value added farming of high value crops using high-efficiency irrigation systems and

livestock production and products. This is the first project in the KPK where along with the

construction of dam, main canal and distributary canals, command area will also be developed fully

using a comprehensive, integrated and participatory approach. The purpose is to develop whole of the

command area rather than using traditional approaches of agriculture and livestock extension, which

are largely based on the concept of demonstration and training. The project is primarily aimed to

develop farming as an enterprise.

GZD-CADP Project will provide assistance and funding to the people of Gomal Zam dam command

area in building and operating a modern irrigation system with major considerations for water

productivity (same as the term of ‘water use efficiency’), while providing both food self-sufficiency

and income from high value crops. The development will create jobs, new industries, and increased

opportunity for the people in this fragile ecosystem. These opportunities will provide new and better

livelihoods for all especially women.

Overall Expected Results and Overall Purpose of the Project

The overall expected result is an established on-farm irrigation system that ensures efficient use of

water, achieves enhanced productivity by farmers, improves processing capacity and increases ability

to provide high quality products for markets. These efforts will ultimately lead to increases in income

and employment of the people living in the command area.

The overall purpose is that water available for 77000 ha (191,000 acres) of command area of the

Gomal Zam dam is used efficiently through integrated development of command area, farm water

management, productivity enhancement, value addition, processing and effective marketing.

Program Outline

The following four Components are suggested for the GZD-CADP.

Phase-I: The following two components can be started right from the beginning and that’s why are

included in Phase-I.

Component #1: Command area development and on-farm water management (will be started in the 1st

year of the implementation of the project)

Component #2: Enhancing productivity of crops, horticulture and livestock (will be started in the 2nd

year of the implementation of the project)

Phase-II: The value addition, processing and marketing components can be undertaken once the

command area is developed fully, i.e. in the 3rd

years since the implementation of the project, that’s

why these components are included in Phase-II:

81

Component #3: Value Added Agriculture and Livestock

Component #4: Marketing of marketable products

Overall Objectives of the Project

The overall objective of the proposed project is in-line with the sectoral objectives as indicated in the

Comprehensive Development Strategy (CDS) of the GoKPK. The project objectives in reality are

drawn from the CDS of the GoKPK and cover water for agriculture, development of command area,

on-farm water management, enhancement of productivity of crops, horticulture and livestock, value

added agriculture and livestock, and marketing. The funding is expected from USAID who also

provided funding for the completion of the Gomal Zam dam, which is covered in the CDS and the

current project is based on the concept of efficient and sustainable utilization of stored water in the

Gomal Zam dam.

Feasibility and Formulation of Master Plan for the three Canal commands

The study entitled “Feasibility and Formulation of Master Plan for the development of command

area of the three canal commands of the Gomal Zam Dam is aimed to develop 77000 ha (191,000

acres) of land for canal irrigated agriculture with irrigation facility for the use of perennial water,

Katcha rural link roads, land forming and other related works. Feasibility Consultants will be hired

through quality and cost based bidding. The outline for developing complete RFP (Request for

Proposals) is presented in the following sections. This includes outline of objectives, activities, scope

of the work and manpower requirement. Also identified the support staff requirement and estimated

total cost.

2.2. Objective of the Study

The study objective is to conduct surveys and detailed design of physical interventions related to the

command area development and on-farm water management interventions along with the estimation

of bill of quantities of materials to award contracts for the construction of these interventions in a

prioritized and sequenced manner. The ultimate purpose is to develop designs and detailed bills of

quantities for the 393 Mogha commands and all the physical interventions including other works so

that whole of the command area is developed in a sustainable manner.

The other purpose is to develop detailed designs and bill of quantities at the farm level including

mapping and layout of land forming, field channels and precision land leveling to accomplish the

objective of high efficiency irrigation for high value agriculture.

2.3. Proposed Activities

2.4. Scope of Work

The scope of the study is to conduct required field surveys and mapping for the detailed engineering

designs of the physical interventions related to command area and water management along with

estimation of the bills of quantities of materials for the construction of various interventions. The

Consultants are supposed to initiate their work in the 5th

month of the start of the project, when the

feasibility and master Plan for one of the canal command is available. The Consultants will work

within the framework of the feasibility study and the master plan of each of the canal commands. The

Consultants have to provide outputs starting from 5th month in a sequenced manner so that contracts

can be awarded in a phase-wise manner and Consultants will continue their work for a period of over

32 months. Thus the activity will be intermittent but in a continued manner. The cost effectivity both

83

in terms of investments and in O&M is the criteria to evaluate the intervention designs. An iterative

approach is recommended for the design of interventions. Traditional concepts of designing in a rigid

and fixed way is not the purpose therefore the Consultants have to be innovative and work in a

participatory manner with the farmers’ organizations, water users’ associations, private sector and the

experts of the line departments deputed in the project area. Based on the survey, design, mapping,

layout and bill of quantities of materials, the Consultant is required to submit report separately for

each of the Mogha command with detailed maps and design sheets.

The study is innovative and therefore innovative experts are required by the Consultants to constitute

the survey and design teams. All the physical activities related to the project requiring survey and

designs are included in this study.

Ultimately, the command area comprising of 77000 ha (191,000 acres) is developed for irrigation.

Katcha link roads, marketing platforms for each of the canal commands, FOs Services Centres and

Field offices are also part of the contract.

2.5. Manpower Requirement
