Abstract:
|
"Self-governing irrigation organizations have, more or less, imbibed the design principles. The performance of the irrigators organization with the features of the design principles is reported to be satisfactory to the clients of the irrigation systems.
"Effort will be made in this presentation to examine not what has happened in the adoption of the design principles in the irrigators organization, but try to analyze how Asian Development Bank funded project on 'Community Managed Irrigated Agriculture Sector Project' (CMIASP) and World Bank funded project on Irrigation and Water Resources Management Project (IWRMP) in Irrigation Management Transfer component in Nepal introduced procedure to strengthen irrigators organization incorporating those design principles identified by Ostrom.
"In some irrigators organizations, these principles exist as they evolved over period of time. The issue to examine here is how can these principles be institutionalized with the external midwifery assistance in the newly formed Water Users Associations (WUAS)? What might be complementary and contradictory phenomena when efforts are made to institutionalize those design principles in the new irrigators organization.
"Drawing examples from the World Bank and ADB funded projects on irrigation sector as mentioned earlier, procedures to institutionalize design principles will be analyzed and findings will be discussed."
