Synopsis (short abstract) The overall objective of the On farm Irrigation Development in Old Lands (OFIDO) project is to contribute to the reduction of poverty and the empowerment of poor rural households through targeted interventions aiming to improve water use efficiency at farm levels and to increase the yields, productivity and income of smallholders and the poor. In order to draw lessons from the implementation of this project and to apply them to the national programme to modernize irrigation, FAO, upon request of the Government of Egypt, conducted an independent technical assessment to provide a comprehensive overview of the performance of improved irrigation systems in three governorates within the OFIDO project’s area of intervention, located in the north, centre and south of the country.

    Irrigation is crucial for agricultural activities, however if not managed well, it entails high water losses and can be inefficient in its application. The raised bed system is an improved surface irrigation strategy, which enhances water productivity and makes the application of water in irrigated systems more efficient. It can be easily implemented by the farmers themselves. This practice describes how raised bed systems can be used to improve crop water productivity in summer and winter crops.

    The project contributed to an inclusive process in which the voices of relevant stakeholders were heard and considered during the policy discussions that led to the preparation of the VGFSyN. Support was provided for the organization of five regional consultations aimed at obtaining inputs, comments and suggestions on how best to align the VGFSyN with regional and national priorities and needs. The project also contributed to the translation of different versions of the VGFSyN in order to enable the active participation and involvement of sufficient numbers of relevant stakeholders and to ensure that the various iterative versions of the core negotiation document accurately reflected the positions of a wide range of stakeholders.
