1. Context
Nyatwali irrigation scheme project was established in the year 2001 under indigenous local community within Serengeti area Bunda District. Nyatwali has the population of 2858 (1259F & 1163M) while 436 children are under 5 years. Nyatwali irrigation scheme is comprises of 42 members and 253 dependants.

Nyatwali irrigation scheme is surrounded by local farms from two tribes namely; Taturu and Masai tribe, though few are from Sukuma all surrounding the project area. The surveyed project area is 20ha, with storage Tank (stone, sand, cement) and old irrigation Infrastructure. The proposed project will focus on constructing good pumping sump De ? Silting wells, Lake Victoria water source, fencing solar steel structure overhead, security houses, raising main pipes 3? suction pipe ? 1 ½ to the pumping meter. The tank position is 1500mts away from the pump. However, the proposed project aims at improving the governance structures that govern Nyatwali irrigation system.

Lubana rive is surrounded by Kimbulu, Hunyari, Salakwa and Maliwanda villages borders Grumet Game Reserve at Serengeti National Park. The Population depends on this river and two charcoal dams in Maliwanda and Kihumbu for water. Due to the size of the ward, less than a half of population is able to access the said dams for animals and human use particularly women and children.

There are increased incidences of land use conflicts that threaten the existence of pastoralists as a result of mounting demand for pastoral land by the farmers. On the other hand, there is need to protect wildlife corridors from increased illegal human settlements especially for the agricultural communities, Illegal settlements fuels human ? wildlife conflicts.

Through smooth pumping operation system installed since year 2001. The climate change ? effects during projects operation interfered two pumping sumps and suction system with mud and debris through Gravity Pumping System. This problem caused the machine to pump mud instead of clean fresh/ water as the pumping load increases ? the drive shaft connecting pump and drive motor connecting bush stop functioning. This causes the project pump to collapse; leading to 10pcs of solar Array (short) and (short circuit) during peak Voltage stop operating.
In order to address the problems, the Nyatwali irrigation Scheme Project Rehabilitation requires the following;
? New Solar pumping system
? Solar Panels ? steel structure ? Repair
? Solar fence ? gate ? Repair
? Solar pumping security House ? Door Repair
? Pumping sump ? cover ? repair
? Replacement of charger controller
? Replacement of two Dry Batteries 12V
? The repair works of raising main
? The repair works of storage Tank
? The new installation of Domestic stand pipe
? The new fencing works ? Tank Area
? The repair works ? of irrigation system pipes fittings etc
? Installation works, plumbing works, Civil works, Electrical and Electronic works e.t.c

2. About the proponent
The project will be implemented by Lubana Corridor Environmental Development Strategy (LCDES) on behalf of Nyatwali Irrigation Scheme group members (Bunda), with close supervision of Bunda Town Council, Agriculture Office through Irrigation Department.

3. Project Goal
Contribute to the reduction of extreme poverty among the Nyatwali irrigation scheme.

4. Main Objective
Improve livelihoods, production and governance of Nyatwali irrigation scheme through increased access to water and management of the scheme in Bunda district by 2020.

3.1 Specific objectives
