Status of IMT<br />

A total of 59,559 ha is now under IMT which is 31.53 percent of the target area of<br />

188,866 ha covered by three <strong>for</strong>eign-assisted projects (IOSP II, WRDP and ISIP II) or 8.74<br />

percent of the NIS area (681,255 ha) (Table 8)<br />

Among the issues identified in the IMT pilot areas are:<br />

i) The need <strong>for</strong> fund support <strong>for</strong> retirement of affected personnel and other measures<br />

pertaining to affected personnel.<br />

ii) Sustainability of the improved irrigation facilities and structures.<br />

iii) Provision of assistance programs to farmers like post-harvest facilities, marketing,<br />

credit, etc., which are beyond the mandate of NIA.<br />

The main constraint besetting IMT is the issue of personnel displacement resulting from<br />

its implementation. There are so many NIA field staff who are to be displaced by the program.<br />

NIA is addressing the concern by way of securing funds <strong>for</strong> retirement of affected staff or<br />

possible reassignment to other units. About 300 staff in the assessed 29 NIS signified their<br />

willingness to retire requiring about P=143 million.
