Project Development Objectives
Project Development Objective (from Project Appraisal Document)
The project has three development objectives: (i) to promote more efficient management and operation of selected public irrigation schemes by participating farmers; (ii)
to improve access and consumption of drinking water for rural households in communities un-served or poorly serviced at the beginning of the Project; and (iii) to assist
MARH, MEDD and other stakeholders to make better decisions relating to integrated water resources management.
Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project?
Yes No

Implementation Status Overview
ISR #10 – This Implementation Status and Results Report has been prepared on the basis of the conclusions and recommendation of a joint WB-AFD-AfDB-KfW supervision mission
Page 1 of 6
The World Bank Report No: ISR15046
carried out on May 5 to 8, 2014, in addition to continuous exchanges with the project coordination unit by phone and e-mail over the first semester of 2014.
STATUS - Overall, the project progresses satisfactorily towards the achievement of its objectives. Targets for construction and rehabilitation of irrigation and rural potable water
system are due to be exceeded (hectares of irrigated land, number of persons benefiting from potable rural water). After significant initial delays, most technical assistance and
institutional strengthening activities planned under the project are now underway. This positive assessment is noteworthy, given the fact that the regional branches of the Agriculture
Public Disclosure Copy
Ministry (CRDAs), which represent most of the executing agencies of the project, have been facing a very difficult environment since the start of the revolution, with many crises in
rural areas and significant institutional weakening. More than 1,500 contracts have been launched since project start. However, activities have slowed down over the last 12 months:
no new sub-project has been launched as there is a substantial chance that they could not be completed by the project closing date.
RELEVANCY - The project remains relevant for the World Bank commitment in Tunisia in the post-revolution context. The project contributes to the Driving Objective 5, "Improving
access to basic services for underserved communities" at the rural community, by using participatory approaches to promote the efficient management and operation of public
irrigation schemes by farmers, and improved access and consumption of drinking water for rural households. However, project design is extremely complex, with a decentralized
structure involving 32 executing agencies.
RESTRUCTURING - The joint supervision mission confirmed the need for a project restructuring, which will be processed by December 2014 subject to the satisfactory
implementation of a safeguard remediation action plan.
