RI gets ADB loan

MANILA (AFP): The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved a US$1.12-million technical assistance grant to Indonesia to improve irrigation management.

The technical study will undertake a half-way review of a 1987 policy to gradually transfer the operation and maintenance of irrigation systems from the government to water user associations, completing it by 2002.

"It is timely to review the quantitative and qualitative achievements and the problems encountered so that necessary adjustments to the program may be introduced," the Manila-based ADB said in a statement.
