The Climate Smart Irrigated Agriculture Project (CSIAP) is designed to improve the productivity and climate resilience of smallholder agriculture in 11 selected districts: Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Kurunegala, Puttalam, Kilinochchi, Mulativu, Trincomalee, Batticaloa, Ampara, Monaragala and Hambantota situated in dry zone in Sri Lanka by focusing on three key components: (a) agricultural production,  (b) agricultural marketing and (c) water for agriculture. This PDO is planned to be achieved through investments in the following activities: (i) modernization and improved management of irrigation, drainage and flood protection systems; (ii) implementation of participatory water management plans; (iii) adoption of climate-smart agricultural and water use practices and technologies; and (iv) enhanced value addition and improved access to storage and marketing.  The project area covers 47 Agrarian Service Center Divisions, 258 Grama Niladhari Divisions, and around 70000 farmer families. The project has been addressing the key problem of the vulnerability of agriculture systems in climatic hot spot areas of the country since its inception in 2019.
