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.

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. ANNUAL REPORT YEAR 3 (JANUARY – DECEMBER 2011) 33
