EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

With the funding made available from Government of the Netherlands and the Government of Canada, the Natural Resources Management Directorate (NRMD) of the Ethiopian Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) has embarked on a Small-scale and Micro Irrigation Support (SMIS) Project in Ethiopia for a period of five years. The Honourable State Minister MOA-NRM, Ato Sileshi, officially launched the SMIS project in Addis Ababa on February 19, 2015. Agriteam Canada Consulting Ltd has been selected as the project-implementing agency. The Project Inception Report was approved in June 2015 and the project became operational in July 2015 in the four target regions: Amhara, Oromia, Tigray and SNNPR. The SMIS Project is designed to augment the capacity of staff of regional, zonal, and woreda-level in various institutions related to the development of Small-scale Irrigation (SSI) and Micro Irrigation (MI) schemes. The project is mandated to deliver its capacity development services throughout three major components namely:

Component 1: SSI Capacity Building Component 2: Capacity Building of Selected A-TVETS Component 3: Promotion of Household Micro Irrigation

The Tigray office has been mobilized in Mekele City since early March 2015 and has been functioning since then delivering its capacity development services in full swing. The project team in Mekele office includes 6 experts in six different disciplines, a national regional team leader, an international team leader, an adm/fin manager, a finance officer, and an admin officer. Including logistics and other office personnel it currently has 17 staff. As per requirement of the SMIS project, woredas with a significant number of existing SSI schemes and/or high potential for the development of new SSI schemes and MI systems have been selected in collaboration with BoARD as well as BoWR for enhancing the capacity of concerned zonal and woreda government staff. In the selection of potential woredas the technical, financial, management, environmental, gender and nutrition parameters were the matter of concern. The SMIS Project team in consultation with BoARD and BoWR has selected three new SSI schemes in three new woredas to provide its support and services in the second year. This is in addition to the four schemes selected for the first year's interventions. The Tigray experts in collaboration with partner institution members have prepared the present second year annual work plan (AWP) according to the general capacity development strategy of SMIS project as well as the gaps identified as a result of various capacity development needs assessment in Tigray. The plan covers 12 months period starting from July 8, 2016 until July 7, 2017. Various trainings/workshops/activities related to each output have been planned to contribute to the achievement of immediate outcomes outlined in the project logic model. Each output may accommodate several trainings/workshops/activities in order to cover the multiple-dimensional character of that particular output including the crosscutting issues. The details of proposed outputs and activities could be viewed in Annex 1. During the implementation of second year AWP, there will be a need to procure some supporting items such as field equipment, laboratory testing equipment, software etc. Procurement of some such items have been included in AWP to support the more efficient delivery of panned activities. All anticipated expenses for each activity has been estimated based on the activities breakdown. Sum of the total budget for the second year AWP in Tigray is estimated to be 5,178,790 ETB.

1. BACKGROUND With the funding made available from Government of the Netherlands and the Government of Canada, the Natural Resources Management Directorate (NRMD) of the Ethiopian Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) has embarked on a Small-scale and Micro Irrigation Support (SMIS) Project in Ethiopia for a period of five years. The Honorable State Minister MOA-NRM, Ato Sileshi, officially launched the SMIS project in Addis Ababa on February 19, 2015. Agriteam Canada Consulting Ltd has been selected as the project-implementing agency throughout an international bidding. The Project Inception Report was approved in June 2015 by project supervisory board and became operational since July 2015 in four target regions: Amhara, Oromia, Tigray and SNNPR. The SMIS Project is designed to augment the capacity of staff of regional, zonal, and woreda-level in various institutions related to the development of Small-scale Irrigation (SSI) and Micro Irrigation (MI) schemes. The project is mandated to deliver its capacity development services throughout three major components namely:

o Component 1: SSI Capacity Building o Component 2: Capacity Building of Selected A-TVETS o Component 3: Promotion of Household Micro Irrigation

Significance of the three components as well as the details of associated elements has been incorporated in the project logic model, which will be discussed in the following sections. The project experts in Tigray in collaboration with International SMS have prepared the present second year annual work plan (AWP) according to the general capacity development strategy of SMIS project as well as the gaps identified as a result of capacity development needs assessment in Tigray. 2. SMIS PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISION STRUCTURE - REGIONAL Regional Supervisory Board in Tigray (RSB)

In each of the four regions (Amhara, Oromia, SNNPR and Tigray) the Regional Supervisory Board (RSB, a body similar to the Steering Committee) will provide oversight of SSMISP in the region. The RSB will ensure that SMIS Plans and activities address regional priorities within the framework of national strategies.

RSB will be chaired by the Head of Bureau of Agriculture (TBoARD). Other members of the RSB will include senior officials from relevant regional bureaus and agencies involved in the development of SSI, micro irrigation and irrigated agriculture as well as the Bureau of Planning and Finance (previously Bureau of Finance and Economic Development, BoFED) and the TVET Bureau/Agency. The recommended structure and terms of reference is proposed below.

Chairperson: Bureau Head, TBoARD RSB will consist of representatives from:

1. Bureau of Water or other agency responsible for SSI development 2. Micro-irrigation implementation authority 3. Bureau of Planning & Finance (previously Bureau of Finance & Economic Development, BoEFD) 4. Head, A-TVET/TVET 5. Head, Regional Agricultural Research Institute 6. Head, Bureau of Cooperative Promotion

institutions during: a) design and construction of the irrigation, drainage and associated infrastructure; b) formation and capacity building of water users' organizations (WUOs); c) capacity building of male and female farmers in irrigation agronomy as well as soils and water management; and d) demonstrations and demand-driven adaptive research. The SMIS Project team in consultation with TBoARD and TBoWR have selected 3 new SSI schemes in the newly selected woredas to provide its services in the second year. Figure 4 illustrates the name and location of the newly selected schemes in Tigray.

7. REGIONAL PRIORITIES IN TIGRAY According to the identification and analysis of a number of constraints and challenges identified after recent rapid capacity needs assessment in Tigray, the SMIS Project team formulated various activities for each of the three project components. This is aimed at strengthening the development of SSI, MI through capacity building of the concerned public and private institutions, A-TVET Colleges as well as other key stakeholders. The following is the list of priorities to be addresses in Tigray's second year AWP: To support the improvement/development of stronger institutional linkages at regional, zonal

and woreda level among BoARD, BoWR, and other institutions. To improve the knowledge and technical skills of BoARD and BoWR employees at regional, zonal

and woreda level. To support improvement/development of manuals, guidelines, standards, checklists, etc. To establish/improve the data base management system for data collection, data handling, and

utilization in BoARD & BoWR. To improve the knowledge and technical skills of BoARD employees at regional, zonal and

woreda level particularly in relation to irrigated agriculture extension services. To improve the knowledge and technical skills of BoARD employees at regional, zonal and

woreda level particularly in relation to irrigation agronomy services. To support the upgrading of knowledge and institutional linkages leading to the improvement of

value chain processes. To support improvement or establishment of result based and refined performance

(measurement system) M&E system. To improve the knowledge and skills of personnel involved in the process of study, design,

construction supervision, O&M etc. 8. ACTIVITIES FOR ACHIEVING RESULTS IN TIGRAY The present AWP is the second annual work plan (AWP) for SMIS project. The plan covers 12 months period starting from July 8, 2016 until July 7, 2017. The annual work plan builds on the results of analysis performed on the set of data collected during the first year's performance in Tigray. During planning the activities, SMIS Tigray experts have consulted their counterparts in TBoARD as well as TBoWR. The following portion of this document contains materials related to the planned activities as well as the procurement and the pertinent budget.

8.1. Lessons learned A close examination of the performance of the year one will offer some valuable lessons to be used for a better performance next year. The following points have to be taken as lessons learned from the implementation of first year AWP: Less knowledge and information on the existing problems of pest but we now understand that it

is one of the critical challenges of irrigated agriculture in the region. Less progress/action by stakeholders after the feedback of field report and recommendation

have been given. Cascading of trainings down to the DA and farmers has been identified as one of the

fundamental problems even though it has been discussed many times with the stakeholders, so before any training a conformation on cascading of the event from the stakeholders is encouraged.

The region has been awarded the proclamation of WUA, which lays the responsibility on Bureau of Water Resources Development for establishment and strengthening. However, at this time Bureau of Water Resources development has no recruited personnel/experts to capacitate the WUA, and the former Cooperative Promotion Agency has left the responsibility of establishment and strengthening of WUA to the Bureau of Water Resources because the proclamation has given the power to the Bureau of Water Resources. Due to this problem the establishment and strengthening of WUA on new schemes like Mekabo SSI scheme is not effective.

SMIS Project has created a closer partnership with the regional AGP and has exchanged a letter of understanding with them so that to align our common activities and to cascade some of the events (trainings) down to the DA and farmers.

8.2. Schedule of planned activities in Tigray By learning the important lessons from last year’s successes and failures, we will attempt to show a better performance in 2016/17 year. In fact, our aim will not be only to achieve the 2016/17 plan but also to compensate for activities that are not accomplished in the previous project implementation period. Therefore, the coming implementation year may include additional activities that demand strong physical and mental readiness as well as organized and integrated efforts of all stakeholders. Thus, the project office will fold up its efforts and will be more engaged on intensive facilitation of project activities. The team will also give due attention to arrange regular meetings and discussions with stakeholders so that to evaluate the progress periodically and create smooth ground that enables successful implementation of the project activities in 2016/17

Therefore, as previously mentioned, this annual work plan and budget comprises all activities which are categorized under the three main project components. During the planning process we have used the following approach: We have critically examined the previous year's experiences. Discussed with stakeholders at woreda level and performed needs assessment at pilot woredas. Consulted with the relevant departments of PIs and AGP at regional level. Discussed with the project TCs for improvement of the plan. Presented and discussed the plan with RSB members for improvement and approval.

In the previous sections of this document the structure and concept of logic model has been described in detail. The logic model has also been presented in text format as well as in tabular format in Figure 2. Activities related to each output have been planned by SMIS Tigray experts to contribute to the improvement of immediate outcomes. Each output may accommodate several activities in order to


25

cover the multiple-dimensional character of outputs including the crosscutting issues. Figure 5 shows the overall diversity and schematic view of selected outputs related to each immediate outcome for the second year's AWP in Tigray. The outputs selected for the second year AWP in Tigray has been marked with hatched background. The details of every planned activity related to each output are presented in Annex 1.
