摘要

This paper investigates current constraints, impacts and potential of Irrigation Management Transfer to contribute to poverty reduction in the Ferghana Valley of Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The IMT agenda is targeted at adequate self-sufficiency of irrigation sub-sector and poverty reduction. However, experience from other regions suggests that these goals will only be met if irrigation benefits exceed the costs of the rural people; water users are capable to finance irrigation; and waterneeds of the rural poor are considered. Guided by the livelihoods approach, this research assesses these issues at a household level using qualitative and quantitative data, collected through Participatory Rural Appraisal and a sample survey, in three Water User Associations set up as part of the IMT program. The research reveals a tension between the need to collect irrigation service fees by WUAs for improving irrigation system performance and the capacity and willingness of the rural poor to pay those fees. The intermediate impact of the reforms is thus not seen as a benefit by the rural poor: they do not have the funds to pay the fee and do not see that the fees paid will result in appropriate operation and maintenance of infrastructure. Irrigationwater is essential for income generation, food security and diversification of the livelihoods activities in the study areas. While reform may be necessary to ensure the sustamabihty of the irrigation systems, implementing IMT should of course not makepoor farmers worse off. Based on results, the paper concludes with the conditions, policies and incentives for successful and pro-poor IMT in the Ferghana Valley.
