| Summary: | The increasingly complex problems affecting the competitiveness and sustainability of Irrigation District No. 041 Yaqui River, located in southern Sonora, Mexico, are manifested by the lack of indicative strategies that contribute to developing needs-based planning. The research was conducted using the logical framework, which establishes actions and projects necessary for the proper functioning of the district, using the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) methodology.The objective of the study was to identify the importance of the efficient use of irrigation water for competitiveness and sustainability as a determining indicator for the continuance of agricultural activity in the irrigable areas of the Irrigation District. The results corroborated the hypothesis put forward that there is a dissociation among actors (users - producers and managers). As a result, this paper proposes general organizational, comprehensive planning, and competitiveness and productivity strategies, derived from central objectives, while the specific problems identified allowed structuring projects and actions envisaged in each one of them.The logical framework allowed determining that most of the irrigation modules can be improved by articulating the efforts of all actors at the different stages of the development of the strategic plan. |
