he SVTP is a 14-year program (2018-2031) that will be implemented in three sequential but partially overlapping phases.
The Shire Valley Transformation Programme (SVTP) will irrigate approximately 43,370 hectares of land by abstracting water from the Shire River at Kapichira Dam and conveying it by gravity to the irrigable areas in Chikwawa and Nsanje districts through canals. This will ensure a more consistent supply of water to farmlands throughout the year.
The Programme Development Objective (PDO) for the SVTP is to increase agricultural productivity and commercialization for targeted households in the Shire Valley and to improve the sustainable management and utilization of natural resources.
