These studies are conducted to develop an appreciation of the situation in which the intended beneficiaries live, and their perceptions of their problems, needs and priorities. The present study was carried out to support preparation of a poverty alleviation project in Egypt, targeted to help rural villages in the Sohag Governorate reduce poverty by implementing participatory micro-projects under the umbrella of the National Programme for Integrated Rural Development.

No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Guidelines for Planning Irrigation and Drainage Investment Projects
Technical Paper N. 11 - 1996
1996Also available in:
No results found.Publicly-financed irrigation and drainage investment projects have too often performed poorly. In some cases, shortcomings were because planners gave inadequate consideration to institutional constraints or to the practical problems of implementation, or because there was insufficient commitment by governments or users to the developments proposed. Lessons have been learned from these setbacks, however. This guideline gives prominence to the planning approaches which have evolved and are still e volving to avoid future difficulties. It stresses sounder formulation of irrigation and drainage investment strategies, improved conceptualisation of project options, and building stronger participation and commitment into the detailed planning process. Intended users include staff, trainees and consultants of the FAO Investment Centre, government planning teams, and others concerned with planning irrigation and drainage investments. (Note: Part I only is reproduced here, due to the length of th e document, to provide a look at the issues dictating the need for new approaches in irrigation and drainage investment projects. The full publication may be ordered from the FAO Publications Catalogue.)
