CCI Water reservoirs CCI Water reservoirs - CCI Vattenmagasinering The project has run from 2010, see contribution  and the present decision concerns extending the timeframe by two years to Dec.2015 and a minor increase of the total amount from SEK 103 mill to SEK 105.5 mill. The main objective of the project is to contribute to food security and poverty reduction through water resources mobilisation and valorisation for agriculture, livestock and fisheries, taking into account climate change. This will be achieved through increased availability of surface water through the building and rehabilitation of small dams, creating conditions that improve adaptation to climate change.
In 2012 allegations of mismanagement caused a freeze of project funds, and a temporarily stop to, or at least slow-down of, project activities. Sida/Progsam decided to take up disbursement in December 2013, as additional mismanagement was not seen as a high risk at that stage, and the need to continue project activities was urgent. The issue and the delays have made it necessary to revise work plans/budgets and extend the time-frame of the project, which require an amendment of the agreement.
