Over a five year period the National Irrigation administration (NIA) of the Philippines has been building its capacity to develop water users' associations on small scale irrigation systems. The NIA approach is to develop a water users' association prior to construction of the physical system and then to involve association members fully in the planning and construction of the system. Implementing this participatory approach has required a wide variety of changes in the agency's policies, procedures, and personnel. The paper details the changes that have been made within the agency, examines the nature of the learning process which has led to these changes, and discusses the implications for donor support of other small scale irrigation programs and more generally for programs involving village level work.

(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: 631.7.6.2 G232 HAN Record No: H033)
The following report describes the legal irrigation throughout turnouts to mesgas and reviews the design assumptions, legal implications and current utility of the existing methods in Egypt. The legal limitations currently imposed upon the turnouts, based on specific site measurements, are presented, together with the responses from the Ministry of Irrigation and farmers to the inadequacies of the current turnouts. Data collected from the field sites indicates the necessity of increasing the size of turnouts in accordance with irrigation demands for the season and crops grown throughout Egypt. The recommended larger capacity turnouts with adjustable gates includes the design modification requirements of modified inlet shapes and provision for trash guards. These larger gated turnouts will require an irrigation technician to assume the responsibility of the current gatekeeper function and to interface with the farmers regarding their irrigating scheduling. In addition to recommendations regarding closer management between the irrigation technician and the farmers, it is suggested that training centers be established to assist in the development of water distribution management methods between the irrigation engineers and the water user associations.

Developing water users' associations, or any other type of farmer organizations, results in the adherence by change agents to particular theoretical parameters. One theoretical foundation of an organization is the development of participatory leadership. The development of leadership is a continual process emphasizing the components of motivation, action, consequence and reaction. A well-functioning leadership group facilitates cooperation between the villagers and government agencies, develops training programs to teach the people to become more reliant, generates income to finance programs and performs needs assessments and solutions to problems in order to motivate the people to cooperatively perform the necessary tasks. Change agents, called rural extension facilitators, work to develop the leadership by developing awareness among population, practicing activities and internalizing the concept of cooperative action among the group members. These theoretical parameters are discussed in this paper with the purpose of sensitizing individuals involved in organizing farmers as to some fundamental conditions which affect how such organizations are developed.
