The purpose of this department is to promote socio-economic development through irrigated agriculture that is sustainable over time, economically justified, financially viable, socially acceptable and technically sound without causing unacceptable impacts on the environment. The Department promotes effective, efficient and appropriate irrigation technologies; engages smallholder farmers in small scale irrigation; and develops appropriate training programs to enhance capacity building in irrigation.

The Department of Irrigation is mandated to facilitate the increase and stabilization of agricultural production through mobilization of small and large scale irrigation projects with human and financial resources provision from the beneficiaries, the private sector, NGO’s and the public sector. Irrigation development is carried out with full participation of the beneficiaries across all gender lines and the ample observance of the environmental aspects to ensure sustained productivity for food security, effective poverty alleviation, and national economic development.
