| Cross-cutting Issue |
Environment |
Since the aquaculture method subject to being spread in thie Project is performed using ponds that accumulate rainwater in the rainy season in order to ensure valuable domestic water for the dry season, the possibility of water contamination due to aquaculture or contaminated water being drained into surrounding rivers is extremely small.
As aquaculture promotion was carried out using existing rice paddies and naturally occuring seasonal reservior ponds, no resettlement or land acquisition has been implemented. |
| Gender |
No gender related materials are mentioned in completion report. |
| Impact Analysis |
The project was consistent to the Second Five-year Social and Economic Development Policy (2001-2005). In this policy framework, inland fisheries aquaculture using rice field and reserviors was thought to be the key to increase fish production, and for the end it emphasized promotion of small-scale aquaculture in rural areas. During the implementation of the Project through its completion, the National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP) had given priorities, among other things, in agricultural development, as well as an increase in agricultural production and productivity. |
