Awash Online Irrigation Dashboard

The CGIAR Initiative on NEXUS Gains and the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) have launched the Awash Online Irrigation Dashboard in support of Ethiopia’s Ministries of Agriculture and Irrigation and Lowlands. The dashboard includes information on scheme size and location, water resources, irrigated crops, irrigation governance, and scheme challenges that help identify management interventions. Actors interested in irrigation management can explore ways to improve water productivity in the country’s most heavily used river basin.

The data collected will also support the irrigation management information system of Ethiopia which is under development.
