The Egypt Water Use and Management Project team selected the Abyuha area, in Middle Egypt, to conduct irrigation management studies. The maize-cotton-sugarcane cropping pattern, typical in this area, is representative of much of Middle Egypt. The team characterized the major physical, hydrologic, biological, and socio-economic factors operating inthe system under study; then they analyzed the data and identified major factors that were acting as constraints or problems of the system. The results of the study were used to develop a research program designed to assist both governmental organizations and the farmer in removing, where possible, irrigation management constraints in the system. This process is called "problem identification".

This report is a summary of a series of studies on zinc status in thesoils of the project sites, Kafr El-Sheikh, El-Mansuriya, and El- Minya, during the agricultural years 1978/79 and 1980/81. The studies included a soil fertility survey and on-farm tests for various crops. The results indicate that: (1) there is a wide range in available soil zinc within the different Project areas, and a crop response to added zinc fertilizer would be expected; and(2) response to zinc differed from one crop to another and from replicate to replicate. The crops tested were wheat, broad beans, cotton, corn, flax and rice.

Defining and measuring women's economic empowerment (WEE) has been at the centre of the current debates among international development scholars and practitioners. The lack of clear consensus on both may limit widespread efforts to design and evaluate programs and policies aimed at improving women's well-being. Building on intra-household allocation models and on Sen (1989) and Kabeer (1999), this paper proposes a conceptual framework of intrahousehold decision-making which can accommodate many classes of WEE measures. It proposes a typology of WEE measures which combines proximity of concept to measurability. Findings from a review of the scholarly literature between 2005 and 2020 are then presented to demonstrate the diversity of published approaches that exist to measure WEE.
