1. SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES 

International Resource Group (IRG), under the USAID/Egypt Integrated Water Resources 

Management II Project (IWRM II), Contract No. EPP-I-00-04-00024-00 Task Order No. 06, is 

responsible for assisting the Government of Egypt (GOE) in promoting integrated water resources 

management. The period of performance of the project is from January 25, 2009 to September 30, 

2012. 

The purpose of this report is to present the status and performance of IWRM II for Year 3 covering 

the period from January to December 2011. This Annual Report summarizes the previous year’s 

activities and accomplishments against the respective Annual Work Plan indicators, and serves as the 

tool by which USAID/Egypt can monitor project performance. The report includes status of 

personnel and project activities, and summarizes services delivered and progress towards achieving 

results identified in the Project Monitoring Plan (PMP). It documents both successes and failures of 

the project interventions, and discusses reasons for shortcomings and recommends actions to 

overcome them. The Annual Report has the following content: summary; accomplishments during 

the year; planned activities for the following quarter (January – March 2012); and a section on 

problems, issues, and lessons learned. 

The following items have been included as annexes: Annex A: Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) 

Plan Update, Annex B: Annual Financial Status Report, Annex C: List of Project Reports, Annex D: 

Status of Technical Assistance, Annex E: Training Report, and Annex F: Procurement Status Report. 

A summary of the activities and accomplishments for the Project Year 3 (January to December 2011) 

follows: 

Due to political unrest in Egypt, USAID declared an Ordered Departure for non-essential 

USAID/Egypt Contractors on February 2, 2011. The IRG IWRM II Chief of Party (COP) was 

considered essential and remained in Cairo. The IRG Cairo office remained open throughout with 

the exceptions of January 30 & 31, when it was deemed risky for staff to travel within Cairo. The 

Regional Offices in Zagazig and Mansoura remained open throughout. Although the offices 

remained open, progress was diminished due to interruption of travel at times and due to changes in 

government discussed below. 

As a result of a cabinet reshuffle, H.E. Minister Dr. Mohamed Nasr Allam, resigned on January 31. 

Dr. Hussein El-Atfy, Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation (MWRI) Senior Undersecretary, was 

appointed as the new Minister. Eng. Fathy Abdel Maksoud El Gouielly, Head of Irrigation Sector, 

was appointed the new Chairman of Irrigation Department. Dr. Hussam El-Din Safwat Fahmy, 

Chairman of Drainage Authority (EPADP), was appointed the Head of the USAID/MWRI Steering 

Committee on 22 February. Dr. Mohamed Abdel Motaleb, Head of Planning sector was appointed as 

the IWRM II Coordinator. 

USAID initiated a Mid-Term Evaluation of the project in early January and it was mutually agreed to 

delay finalizing the Year 3 Work Plan until after the evaluation results were available. The evaluation 

team’s initial findings were presented verbally in separate meetings to HE Minister MWRI and 

MWRI Steering Committee Members and IRG staff on January 20. A draft report was issued on 

February 23. IRG submitted a written response to the Mid-Term Evaluation on March10. IRG’s 

Technical Assistance (TA) team held a meeting with USAID on March 20 to discuss the Mid-Term 

Evaluation draft report. IRG received the final Mid-Term Evaluation report on May 18. The 

Evaluation recommendations included de-scoping (no further activity) Tasks 1.2, 1.4, and 2.1. The 

Evaluation also recommended freezing Task 2.4 and not considering any additional candidates. 

MWRI and IRG accepted the recommendations and IRG adjusted the project implementation plan 

accordingly. The de-scoping did not have a significant impact on the budget. Task 1.4 was already 

ANNUAL REPORT YEAR 3 (JANUARY – DECEMBER 2011) 1

far along and budget allocated to the Tasks 1.2 and 1.4 was nominal to begin with, and some had 

been used at the time of de-scoping. A contract modification to reflect the revised scope of work 

has not been issued by USAID to date. 

On April 5 a USAID delegation visited West Belbeis Integrated Water Management District 

(IWMD). The delegation included John Crocker (Political Officer, U.S. Embassy Cairo), Catherine 

Picard (Environment and Natural Resource Officer), and David Roberts (Nile Program, Foreign 

Affairs Officer), in addition to John Pasch (Water Team Leader) and Eng. Wafaa Faltaous (COTR). 

Eng. Nabil Fawzi (IRG) accompanied the delegation. 

A Ministerial Decree was issued on April 14 reforming the IWRM II Steering Committee to include 

the following members: Head of Egyptian Public Authority for Drainage Projects (Chairman), Head 

of Irrigation Department, Head of Planning Sector (Project Coordinator), Head of Groundwater 

Sector, Head of the Minister's Technical Office, Head of Irrigation Sector, Undersecretary of Water 

Advisory Services, USAID representative (COTR), and IRGs Chief of Party. 

Long-Term Technical Assistance (LTTA), Senior Strategic Communication and Public Awareness 

Specialist Ms. Cheryl Groff’s one-year assignment was extended through June 2011. She completed 

her LTTA assignment and returned to the United States on June 30. 

In a second government reshuffle, H.E. Minister Dr. Hussein El-Atfy, resigned in July. Dr. Hesham 

Kandil, MWRI Head of the Nile Sector, was appointed as the new Minister on July 18. HE Minister 

Kandil issued a ministerial decree on August 9 appointing Dr. Khaled Toubar to the IWRM II 

Steering Committee. Another decree was issued on August 16 assigning Dr. Toubar as the Project 

Coordinator in addition to his position as General Director for Design and Barrage Safety under the 

Reservoir and Grand Barrage Sector. 

The project started the year employing six MWRI engineers on Leave Without Pay (LWOP) working 

full time – two in the Cairo office and two each in the Zagazig and Mansoura Regional Offices. Dr. 

Moamen El Sharkawy and Eng. Amira Abdel Hady were assigned to the Cairo office. Eng. Ayman 

Shedid, Water Management Specialist and Eng. Soha Mostafa, Water Information Specialist, were 

assigned to the Zagazig Regional Office. Eng. Elbayoumi Ali Ez Eldeen, Water Management 

Specialist and Eng. Akmal Badie Henein, Water Information Specialist were assigned to the 

Mansoura Regional Office. The LWOP decree expired at the end of June and MWRI recalled all of 

them on July 14. This left the staff very short-handed. MWRI issued new LWOP decrees for Dr. 

Moamen and Engrs. Amira in August, and for Ayman and Akmal in September and all four returned 

to work as project staff. The other two field positions were filled by Eng. Tamer Gomaa in Zagazig 

in mid-October and Eng. Mohamed Bakry in Mansoura in mid-November. The project has been 

fully staffed since mid-October after 4 months of being short staffed. 

Andrew Tczap, IRG Home Office (HO) Senior Manager, completed a 15-day assignment (March 30 

–April 16) to prepare a management assessment of the project, assist with preparing Year 3 Work 

Plan, and assist with a budget review.

technical assistance (STTA) assignment (March 30–April 28) to assist with preparing Year 3 Work 

Plan, assist with Task 1.3 Improvements in Water Productivity and Efficiency, and review the 

Updated Communications Plan. 

Firras Traish, IRG Project Coordinator/Procurement Officer completed a 12-day STTA assignment 

(May 19 –June 2) to review procurement and purchasing files. 

Dr. J. Fredericks (COP) was reassigned to the Home Office by IRG and he departed Egypt on May 

12. Andrew Tczap arrived Cairo on May 9 to take up the position of COP vacated by Dr. 

Fredericks.

MONITORING AND EVALUATION 

Dr. Wadie Fahim Mankarious (LTTA, Senior Organization/Institutional Development Specialist) is 

the coordinator for this Task. Dr. Mark Svendsen (IRG), Monitoring and Evaluation specialist, 

provides Expat STTA support. Activities carried out during Year 3 include: 

• The checklist for evaluating IWMD performance prepared and utilization of the checklist 

started. 

• Dr. Svendsen visited the project from July13-19 to provide STTA support to the project. 

• An addendum to the project PMP setting out a new set of indicators to measure the capacity 

and performance of BCWUAs and IWMDs was prepared by Dr. Svendsen and submitted to 

USAID. 

• Dr. Svendsen, Dr. Wadie, and Andrew Tczap met twice with the USAID COTR and Ms. 

Amani Selim, USAID Senior M&E Specialist, to discuss the PMP indicators in relation to the 

recommendations of the Mid-Term Evaluation. The new indicators related to organizational 

performance and the plan to monitor the indicators was presented, discussed, and approved 

at these meetings. 

• Dr. Abd El Motaleb, MWRI Coordinator, attended a debriefing by Dr. Svendsen. He 

supported the M&E activities, and requested that IWRM II draft a letter to be addressed to 

all IWMDs asking for support in obtaining requested data. Dr. Motaleb encouraged the 

project to continue introducing the concept of managing water resources based on volume 

instead of water level. 

• The M&E team discussed possible collaboration between IWRM II and CDIAS on M&E 

activities related to BCWUAs with Eng. Nagwa El Khashab, Chairperson of CDIAS. No 

decision was reached and the concept is under consideration. 

• IWRM II started to collect information on crop area, productivity, and farm gate prices in 

each district from the MALR Information Center for the summer 2009 and winter 

2009/2010 seasons. Work on utilization of the checklist for evaluating IWMD performance 

continued. 

• A purchase order with EL Zanaty Associates was signed for conducting a field survey of 

farmers and for focus group meetings with BCWUA boards. These will cover the IWRM II 

area and the two IWRM I supported directorates in Lower Egypt. The survey was designed 

to be a follow-on to the baseline survey previously completed. The draft report of the study 

was submitted in mid-December and is presently under review. 


EDUCATION, COMMUNICATION, PUBLIC AWARENESS AND PARTICIPATION 

Cheryl Groff (Senior Strategic Communication Specialist) was the IRG coordinator for this Task. 

She was supported by Mr. Abdel Bary on a short-term consulting basis when needed. Ms. Groff 

completed her assignment on June 30 and Mr. Bary will continue to provide short-term consulting 

services to the project as needed in Year 4. To the extent possible she worked in collaboration with 

the MWRI Water Communication Unit (WCU). Activities carried out during Year 2 include: 

• Give-away promotional items with the USAID Hand-in-Hand logo were produced and 

distributed. 

• Updating of the IWRM II website (http://iwrm2eg.org) continued during the year. 

• A Stakeholder Assessment was conducted to assess awareness product needs and 

effectiveness of the communications program conducted to date. Results were used to 

prepare the communications work plan for Year 4. 

• An eight-page newspaper supplement to celebrate World Environment Day was designed, 

produced and included in every issue of Al Ahram newspaper issued on June 8. 

• Continued preparation of awareness materials to support Task 1.3. A 12-page newspaper 

targeted to BCWUAs members, IWMD staff, and local population, and a 15- minute video 

for farmers was completed in the year. Production of a guide for water conservation 

technologies oriented to IWMD staff for use with BCWUA members started and will be 

completed in early 2012. Design of a poster on water conservation technologies targeted to 

farmers was initiated with completion planned for early 2012. 

• The IWRM East Delta map produced and distributed to all Directorates, Under Secretaries, 

and IWMDs in Year 2 was updated. 

• Periodic field visits to IWMDs and BCWUAs continued throughout the year to observe 

training, discuss communication needs, encourage IWMD staff, and initiate gathering of 

success stories for further dissemination. 

• 10-week (2 session/week) training for five WCU staff on the video editing program, Final 

Cut Pro, was completed in January 2011. 

TRAINING 

Dahlia Hamdy (LTTA, Training Specialist) is coordinator for this component. She was assisted by 

Eng. Nabil Fawzi (LTTA, Senior Water Resources Management Specialist), Dr. Wadie Fahim 

Mankarious (LTTA Senior Organization/Institutional Development Specialist) and the IWRM II 

Regional Office staff. Activities carried out during Year 3 include: 

• Updated and supported the IWRM II Training Work Plan for Year 3. 

• Organized all training courses and prepared provider POs as required. 

• Organized and sponsored the Y4 Annual Workplan Workshop held on November 16-18, 

2011 at the Movenpick El Sokhna Resort. 

• Updated TraiNet on a quarterly basis. 

• Assisted in arrangements for a Study Tour to the United States sponsored and arranged by 

USAID for nine persons representing IWM Directorates and Districts from both phases of 

the project, IWRM I and IWRM II. The study tour was successfully conducted from 11-19 

January 2011. 

• Prepared Training Work Plan for Year 4.

PROCUREMENT 

Mrs. Amany Mahmoud (Office and Personnel Manager) is the coordinator for this activity. She is 

assisted by Eng. Nabil Fawzi (LTTA, Senior Water Resources Management Specialist), Eng. Safaa 

Khodary (IT Specialist) and the Regional Office staff. Firras Traish, Procurement/Financial 

Specialist, is supporting the project as IRG HO backstop. 


Practically all of the required commodities for IWMDs and Directorates were procured at the end of 

Year 2 at less than the budget allocated to this activity. Discussions were held early in Year 3 

regarding how to use the remaining budget but no consensus was reached. Therefore procurement 

during Year 3 consisted of purchasing a few items and planning for completing the procurement in 

Year 4. Activities carried out during the Year 3 include: 

• Procurement in accordance with the procurement plan continued. 

• Eight additional data loggers (8) and modems (6) were procured, delivered, and installation 

was completed for four of them at the end of the year. 

• One air conditioner was procured for the Qualubiya Directorate Meeting Room. 

• Books on high value crops were procured from MALR for distribution to DCWUAs. 

• Equipment repairs and purchase of consumables was carried out for IWMDs and 

Directorates. 

• Computer maintenance tool kits were procured for all 45 IWMDs and eight Directorates. 

• Give-away with the USAID Hand-in-Hand logo promotional items were designed, produced 

and distributed.

PROCUREMENT 

As stated previously there is budget available for additional procurement. MWRI was requested to 

submit a prioritized list of items they require for IWRM I and IWRM II districts/directorates. The 

list was not received as of writing this report although several items have been identified. Therefore, 


the Year 4 procurement activities will not be finalized until early in Year 4. The preliminary 

procurement activities for next quarter include: 

• Continue procurement process. Purchase, deliver, and transfer all equipment to IWMDs and 

IWM Directorates in accordance with the procurement plan. 

• Procure, deliver, and support installation for 16 new data loggers. 

• Procure licensed version of AutoCad Map software for all districts in IWRM II. 

• Procure replacement computers and accessories for IWRM I. 

• Other as defined by MWRI and approved by USAID. 


4. PROBLEMS AND ISSUES 

GENERAL 

Several issues require attention by the project and MWRI, as follows: 

1. It appears that some MWRI field staff believe that implementation of IWRM does not 

have the support of MWRI top management. As a result, some MWRI field (a minority) 

staff are not following through on activities that are critical to IWRM, which causes delays 

and substandard outputs. 

2. Full integration is not taking place in some areas. EPADP still retains responsibility for 

larger drains and retains some staff and equipment. Drainage equipment that has been 

transferred to the districts, especially the sub-surface drainage flushing machines, are totally 

unusable in some cases and the districts do not have budget to repair them. Also, some 

staff transferred from EPADP to the IWMDs would prefer to remain under EPADP and 

since t not all drainage responsibilities have been transferred to the districts, they hold some 

hope of transferring back to EPADP. This results in sub-standard performance of the 

IWMD drainage staff in some cases. 

3. Some of the newly formed IWMDs do not have adequate human and financial resources to 

function properly. 

4. Staff reassignments and other factors require ongoing refresher training and re-training in 

some cases. The project will focus on this issue in the remaining life-of-project but a longterm 

plan should be developed by MWRI. 

The major issue that adversely impacted implementation progress revolves around the Ministry’s 

Integrated Water Management Unit (Unit) that effectively contributed to the success of IWRM I. 

Originally, the Unit was expected to take the lead and play a major role on behalf of MWRI in 

implementing IWRM II. However, the project started work on January 25, 2009 but the 

Implementation Letter funding the Unit was not signed by USAID until August of 2009. This led to 

restricted input from the Unit during that eight-month period. Additionally, there was a change in 

the Director of the Unit in March 2009, which resulted in a learning curve for the new Director. The 

Unit made beneficial contributions to implementation from August 2009 until April 2010 when the 

USAID funding was terminated. MWRI disbanded the Unit in September 2010 and its staff were 

reassigned to other sectors in the Ministry. At IRG’s request, several of the IWMU staff were placed 

on official leave without pay and subsequently hired by IWRM II, to continue the work of the former 

IWMU. Though this move allowed the project to continue implementing technical aspects of the 

project, the critically important MWRI/IRG linkage provided by the full-time IWMU Director 

has not been effectively compensated for to date. MWRI addressed this by assigning a part-time 

Project Coordinator to re-establish that linkage but the workload associated with project 

coordination is great and a part-time coordinator with limited part-time support cannot be as 

effective as the Unit was. Additionally, there have been three different project coordinators in 2011 

which has led to some loss of efficiency. The situation stabilized in August 2011 and project 

performance has improved since then. 



No problems or issues to report. 






EFFICIENCY 

The contract objectives have been met and there are no issues to report. However, it is important to 

note that the projects’ responsibility under this task was disseminating information on the 

cultivation of HVCs and the benefits/use of WCTs. IWRM II went beyond their contractual 

mandate and established limited pilot demonstration areas that proved the benefits of growing 

HVCs. This success has resulted in many requests to the project from farmer organizations within 

and outside of the pilot areas for support in switching to HVCs and implementing modern irrigation. 

Although it is beneficial to MWRI when farmers switch to lower water consuming crops, facilitating 

that is not in the Ministry’s mandate. If there is to be success in increasing water efficiency on a 

national scale through increasing HVCs acreage and modifying irrigation practices, continued 

efforts by MALR are needed to raise farmers’ awareness and to support them in transitioning to 

HVCs and adoption of WCTs. 


None. 



All 45 IWMDs have been formed, are operational; all are fully staffed at senior level. That said, there 

are issues. Among them, timely and adequate availability of financial resources is of particular 

importance. The new IWMDs have greater responsibilities than the irrigation districts they replaced. 

Therefore, their needs in terms of budget, facilities, and human resources are greater than before. To 

date, MWRI financial and technical support has not been provided in a timely manner nor have they 

been adequate to ensure that the newly created integrated directorates and districts can function as 

intended. Among other things, this has adversely affected maintenance of equipment provided by 

the project and maintenance/repair of MWRI’s equipment needed for canal and drains upkeep and 

maintenance of the sub-surface drainage network. This is an issue that must be given serious 

consideration when preparing the project sustainability plan. 

TASK 2.3: ESTABLISHMENT OF INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS 

FOR SUSTAINABLE WATER 

The MISD data is not being transmitted from MALR to the IWMDs in a timely manner and the 

quality of the data delivered to the IWMDs on a bi-weekly bases is suspect in general. The MISD 

system was developed, tested, and successfully implemented during the Agricultural Policy Reform 

Program (APRP) project (1997-2002) and became government policy at that time. It also functioned 

well during IWRM I. Alternatives such as remote sensing are not considered practical and since 

MISD is a proven system, it is recommended that MWRI work with MALR to solve the problems 

that have been experienced during IWRM II. 

Preparation of digital maps is behind schedule and some of the completed maps have not been 

quality checked to date. Our Information Systems Specialist, Dr. Tom Sheng reviewed a limited 

sample of the completed maps during his last visit and found that they need further work and should 


not be considered final. The project cannot utilize resources from the private sector to perform 

quality assurance on the maps due to restrictions on sharing data with IRG. Therefore, we have been 

discussing the possibility of using the Ministry Information Center for this. Workload and other 

considerations have made MICs response inadequate. The project will continue to search for a way 

to perform the needed quality assurance effort but no solution exists as of the writing of this report. 


The project will not meet the objectives of this Task due to issues that arose in the early stages of the 

project that were never overcome. Out of 50 MWRI personnel programmed for enrollment in the 

M.S. Program, only 36 were identified by MWRI to participate. Only 20 of the 36 were accepted by 

universities and have been enrolled in M.S. programs. Two of the 20 participants have graduated to 

date and the project will continue to support the remaining 18 that are still pursuing their degrees. 


Data collection has been slower than expected due to delays in installing the relevant data bases. In 

some cases the accuracy of data in-hand is suspect (MISD, cropped area) and in other cases the data 

must be back-calculated. The project is focusing on improving the quantity and quality of the M&E 

data and reasonable results are expected when the final M&E report is issued. 

EDUCATION, COMMUNICATION, PUBLIC AWARENESS AND PARTICIPATION 


TRAINING 

Because of summer water shortages and the need to have district staff in the field full time, MWRI 

requested all June, July and August 2011 training be postponed until September. In previous years, 

training was suspended for one month in summer and proceeded at a reduced pace in the other 

summer months. This postponement this year delayed implementation of certain components of the 

training program. IWRM II and MWRI are aware of this situation and accelerated the training 

program starting in September and the original program is close to being back on schedule. New 

training courses have been identified and will be conducted in Year 4 without detriment to the 

project schedule and outputs. 

PROCUREMENT 

Practically all the required commodities were procured in Years 1 & 2. Cost containment principles 

were put in place and the total cost to date has been significantly less than budgeted. It has been 

agreed to procure additional equipment for IWRM II directorates/districts with the remaining 

budget and also to procure replacement equipment for the IWRM I districts and directorates. This 

will required accelerated procurement to have everything purchased, delivered and installed prior 

to contract completion but no problem is foreseen in that regard.

PERFORMANCE MONITORING PLAN (PMP) 

The original Performance Monitoring Plan 1 (PMP) 

of the project was produced in July 2009 to guide 

the M&E program for the project. Its purpose 

was (a) to provide feedback to project managers 

during project implementation and (b) to provide a 

comprehensive and coherent information base 

which can be used to assess project outcomes. 

Definitions of some basic terms used in this report 

are shown in the box at right. More detail can be 

found in the PMP. 

The original PMP employed two types of 

indicators. Implementation (Process) indicators 

monitor the progress of the project. They deal 

with the pace of activities undertaken by the 

project. Outcome (Results) indicators assess the 

cumulative effects of project activities on the 

project’s objectives. 

M&E DEFINITIONS 

A goal is a broad statement of what a program 

would like to accomplish. It portrays a positive 

future condition. 

Objectives are specific, measurable, appropriate, 

realistic, and time-bound statements describing 

what the project hopes to accomplish. 

Indicators are objectively measurable gauges of 

progress toward achieving an objective or 

measuring the impact of a specific intervention. 

Targets are specific values of indicators that the 

program wishes to achieve through its actions. 

A baseline provides a starting point from which 

to measure progress. 

AMENDMENT OF THE PMP 

In early 2011, USAID conducted a Mid-term Evaluation of the IWRM II project. The final report of 

this evaluation, dated May 2011, contained a number of conclusions and recommendations that 

affected the original project’s performance monitoring and evaluation (M&E) activities. In response 

to the recommendations made in the evaluation report the project developed an addendum to the 

PMP to add a new class of indicators; Organizational indicators.. 

The amended PMP now includes three classes of indicators. The first comprises implementation 

indicators, which report progress in implementing project tasks. The second comprises outcome 

indicators, which measure the degree of 

achievement of overall project objectives. These 

outcome indicators reflect the combined effects 

of the individual project tasks. The third class of 

indicators, here termed organizational indicators, 

measures changes in the capacity of two key 

organizations being developed and strengthened 

under the project – Branch Canal Water User 

Associations (BCWUAs) and Integrated Water 

Management Districts (IWMDs). 

The organizational indicators for BCWUAs are: 

• Governance processes 

• Accountability and participation 

• Operational performance 

o Water distribution 

o Maintenance 

o Conflict resolution 

INDICATOR CLASSES 

• Implementation indicators measure the inputs 

provided by the project to accomplish desired 

change 

• Organizational indicators measure the capacity 

and performance of the organizations which 

are key actors in the desired change process 

• Outcome indicators measure the combined 

results of project inputs and interventions 

relative to overall project objectives 

1 IRG. 2009. Performance Monitoring Plan, Report no. 6. Cairo: MWRI, IWRM II project. 


The organizational indicators for IWMDs are 

• General management 

• Communication 

• Water distribution 

• Maintenance 

A farmers satisfaction survey and focus group meetings will be used to collect information to 

populate the BCWUA organizational indicators. A formal survey of BCWUA members is being 

conducted in the fourth quarter of 2011. At the same time, focus-group interviews are being held 

with the Boards of the sample BCWUAs to obtain their perspective on BCWUA capacity and 

performance. Follow-up focus-group interviews with the Boards of the sample BCWUAs will be 

conducted in the second quarter of 2012 to assess changes resulting from additional capacity building 

support provided by the project during the first half of 2012, if desired. The survey is being 

administered in a sample of BCWUAs in a sample of IWMDs in all eight Directorates covered by the 

project. In addition, it covers two Phase I Directorates which are contiguous with the East Delta 

Phase II project area, West Sharkia in the center of the East Delta and New Zifta just across the 

Damietta Branch of the Nile in the Middle Delta 2 . Including these two Phase I Directorates has the 

distinct advantage of projecting Phase II BCWUAs about 5 years into the future to see what their 

status is likely to be at that point. It will also allow an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of 

the Phase I BCWUAs to see where additional training might be needed and where changes in the 

authority granted to them might be needed. 

Information to populate the IWMD capability indicators will come from three sources. First, 

extensive records are presently kept of various aspects of IWMD progress and performance for 

internal project management purposes. These records will be mined as a primary source of data for 

the capability indicators. In addition, project regional offices will conduct interviews with District 

managers to gather additional information. Finally, information for some of the performance-based 

indicators would be drawn from the client satisfaction surveys. 

PURPOSE 

The purpose of this annex is to report on Implementation Indicators though Year 3 of the project. 

Output Indicators require analysis of a variety of data collected from several sources which is 

underway. These indicators will be reported on in the final M&E report. Organizational Indicators 

will be assessed subjectively based on the results of the second farmer survey that is presently 

underway and the final focus group discussion that will take place in April 2012. These will also be 

reported on in the final M&E report. 

IMPLEMENTATION INDICATORS 

Implementation indicators are used to monitor the execution of project activities. They monitor the 

inputs supplied by the project to achieve desired change. Because they are related directly to project 

inputs, they can be keyed to the project tasks. Implementation indicators and their present status, 

organized by project task, are shown in Tables 2, and 3. However, Tasks 1.2, 1.4, 2.1 were 

terminated in mid-Year 3 and Task 1.4 was cut back. The tables show the progress achieved up to 

the point these tasks were terminated. 

2 Each of these two Phase I Directorates comprises 5 IWMDs. 


Creation of the implementation indicators is simple and straightforward. Most are simply numbers of 

occurrences (e.g. “number of IWMDs with training centers established an equipped) which are 

summed across Districts and reported against targets. 

Target values have been established for the four years of the project for these indicators, together 

with a set of baseline values that represent pre-project conditions. In general, baseline values of the 

indicators used in this project are zero. Targets presented in the original PMP have been adjusted to 

reflect the recommendations of the USAID mid-term evaluation and new thinking based on 

experience in the first two years of implementation.

INTRODUCTION 

The tables following this page present a summary of the status of the project budgets based on actual 

invoices through October 28 with estimates for expenditures in November and December. It should 

be noted that IRG has submitted a proposed budget realignment to USAID/Egypt for approval. 

The budget realignment has not been approved by USAID to date and therefore this report 

continues to utilize the original budget breakdown which results in some items appearing to be 

overspent to a large degree. Once the realignment is agreed upon and approved, future financial 

reports will be based on the new reallocation of budget line items with no change in the total budget 

and the actual status of each line item will be more accurately reflected.
