The Farm-level Irrigation Modernization Project (co-financedby the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development,the French Development Agency and the Government of Egypt)aimed to increase agricultural productivity and improve accessto higher-quality water on up to 200 000 feddans (80 000 ha) inthe command areas of Mahmoudia in Beheira Governorate, andthe Manaifa and Meet Yazid main canals in Kafr-el-Sheikh Governoratein the Nile Delta. Given the lack of adequate technical staff forsupervision of the project’s work and quality control, a technical auditwas implemented to review and assess the planning, technical designand implementation of the interventions carried out under theFarm-level Irrigation Modernization Project. Its aim was to helpensure better development outcomes for the ultimate beneficiariesof the original irrigation project, but also wiser use of resourcesby project planners, designers and implementers in the fieldof agriculture water management.
