Finance Officer
The
core rationale of TIRTA is that access to irrigation has three times
more impact on farmer incomes than other inputs like fertilisers and
seeds and within irrigation services
tertiary irrigation offers the greatest prospects to AIP-Rural for
improvement. The main constraints in tertiary irrigation are related to
lack of investment for expansion and poor operations and maintenance.
Because of its recognised impact on farmer incomes
TIRTA will approach tertiary irrigation in a businesslike manner by
facilitating the expansion of local commercial investment in tertiary
irrigation schemes in eastern Indonesia.
