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.
