The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) has been supporting financially the Integrated Water Resources Management Project in the Ferghana Valley since 2001. The main objective of the project is to improve the effectiveness of water resources management in the Ferghana Valley by promoting institutional reforms in Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan that share the valley in accordance with the Integrated Water Resources Management principles. The project implemented by the partnership association of IWMI and SIC, is finalizing its third phase where the IWRM principles tested throughout the previous phases have been further consolidated, improved and generalized. In particular, it involved capacity building, training and dissemination activities on a wider scale than in the previous two successful phases through established effective partnerships with policy makers, other projects, educational institutions and extension services.
