<p><span>The Kabuyanda Water Resources Development Project,
renamed Kabuyanda Irrigation Scheme, is located in Isingiro and Ntungamo
Districts in south-western Uganda. The project area is characterized by
fluctuating rainfall and with up to four months of little to no rainfall. The
proposed project consists of a dam (Kabuyanda dam) and an irrigation scheme.
The dam is a 33 m high earth-fill dam on the Mishumba River with a 8.8 MCM
reservoir and 90 km2 drainage area. The dam will be located approximately 5 km
north-west of Kabuyanda Town, and will submerge an area of 100 ha within the
Rwoho Central Forest Reserve (CFR). The irrigation area served by the dam is
expected to cover 3,300 ha.</span></p><br>

Climate Resilience Project (ICRP). In 2019, the design of the original project
was revised to simplify management and reduce the project costs, and the ESIA
and RAP (including all required documentation like the Integrated Pest
Management Plan (IPMP) and Dam Safety Management Plan (DSMP)) were accordingly
revised and updated. Dam utilization options were also re-assessed and the
option of irrigation development alone, which excludes hydropower, domestic
uses and livestock uses, was recommended and selected for implementation.</span><br>
