The development objective of the Resilient Water Management for Community and Household Irrigation Project for Bolivia is to improve integrated water resources management in selected basins and increase the resilience to climate variability of vulnerable rural families in selected micro basins. The project comprises of four components. The first component, water resources planning, and pre-investment studies will fund studies that seek to address, respond to, and build capacity on present and anticipated impacts of climate change on water resources. The second component, climate resilience infrastructure investments will fund works and the supervision of investments related to water conservation, soil and land management, irrigation, and risk management to adapt to the impacts of and to build resilience against climate change exacerbated floods and droughts.

It consists of following sub-components: (i) investments in integrated water basin management; (ii) minor; and (iii) risk management infrastructure to improve resilience. The third component, capacity building for water governance and enhanced productivity will fund technical assistance (TA) and capacity building activities to enhance water governance at the regional and basin levels including climate change education and awareness. The fourth component, project management will fund activities to support Project administration and management, including procurement, financial, environmental, social, and technical management as well and monitoring and evaluation (M and E) (including, inter alia, operating costs and project external audits).
