Innovative Climate-Smart Irrigation Solutions for Wheat Farmers in Northwest Syria

Do you have an innovative solution that can help wheat farmers use water more efficiently?

Field Ready for Humanitarian Innovation – Syria, in partnership with Engineers Without Borders Norway (EWB-N), World Vision Syria Response (WVSR), and the Response Innovation Lab (RIL), invites private-sector companies, startups, manufacturers, technology providers, engineering firms, researchers, and innovators to submit proposals for climate-smart irrigation solutions in Northwest Syria.

The RISE Syria Project is seeking practical, scalable, and locally appropriate innovations that can improve irrigation efficiency, reduce water consumption, strengthen climate resilience, and support sustainable agricultural livelihoods.

Proposed solutions may include technologies, tools, products, services, advisory systems, monitoring approaches, locally maintainable irrigation solutions, or integrated models that help farmers make better decisions on when and how much to irrigate.

Solutions should be affordable, user-centred, technically feasible, climate-smart, locally maintainable, and suitable for piloting with wheat farmers in Northwest Syria.

What We Are Looking For

• Solutions that improve irrigation decision-making for wheat farmers.
• Approaches that increase water-use efficiency and reduce unnecessary water consumption.
• Practical tools or services that are affordable and easy for farmers to use.
• Innovations that can be maintained locally and adapted to the Northwest Syria context.
• Models that support climate resilience, food security, and sustainable agricultural livelihoods.
