Project Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Report No: ISR14589 implementation has been delayed due to the revolution in Egypt over the last three years. Overall, project implementation continues to improve. There has been a sustained improvement in the pace of implementation of civil works contracts and institutional reform over the last nine months. With commitment of over 95% and disbursement at 54% of the total loan, the project is likely to complete all project activities and fully achieve its development Public Disclosure Copy objectives by the new closing date of March 31, 2016. In the irrigation sector, the progress made regarding devolution of irrigation management responsibilities from a centrally managed system to a participatory and community-based water user organizations (WUOs) is encouraging. More resources and efforts are needed to make the WUOs fully operational. The Government is particularly advised Shortage of pipes continues to delay implementation of subsurface drainage works. The Government is advised to allocate adequate resources to drainage pipe factories in a timely manner so that enough drainage pipes (particularly collector drainage pipes) are produced and made available to contractors.
