1. LUSIP PROECT STATUS The Lower Usuthu Smallholder Irrigation Project (LUSIP) Area is situated in the south-eastern part of Swaziland, in the Lubombo Region. The larger LUSIP area is found in the area between Siphofaneni, Big Bend and Nsoko, chiefly on the southern side of the Usuthu area. The LUSIP II Extension (LUSIP II Ext) study area forms part of the larger LUSIP area and is located in the Lowveld of the Kingdom of eSwatini. LUSIP involved the construction of three dams, Lubovane Reservoir, to form an off-river storage reservoir to impound 155 million cubic metres (MCM) of water that would be diverted from wet season flood flows in the Lower Usuthu River. 1.1 The LUSIP project originates from government initiatives in the 1990s when the design and feasibility assessments for the LUSIP project were carried out. Subsequently GoS policy initiatives reinforced the importance and validity of the LUSIP investments. These include the targeting of poverty reduction as a key government policy objective that is articulated in the Poverty Reduction Strategy and Action Programme of 2007 (PRSAP), the Government Action Programme 2008-2013 and the government commitment to the UN millennium goals. The overriding assumptions of the PRSAP are that the Government will maintain macroeconomic stability and good governance; reduce vulnerability (especially to HIV/AIDS); invest inhuman capital development; focus on broad-based participation for empowerment and employment creation and the implementation of re-distribution policies. An enabling environment for private investment and economic growth is expected to be the catalyst for poverty reduction and creating opportunities for participation by the poor. The focus on food security and the provision of infrastructure, extension services, technology, markets and social and financial services are promises that are expected to meet the goals of reducing poverty. The Government is thus supporting reforms towards increasing access to productive assets such as land, water, information and financial resources to enable the poor to benefit from growth
