1. Lessons
Strong commitment and sense of ownership in traditional schemes than modern ones
• focus on a single function of the water management
• Appropriate design of bylaws and their effective implementation
• use of indigenous knowledge in in-take and canal construction

• The sustainability of the traditional schemes indicated that there is a potential to replicate and learn from this model
![Page 5: Community Development Group Annual Work Plan (2009-10)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022083007/56649e915503460f94b96737/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Sustainability in irrigation schemes is the result of the
• WUA’s strong commitment and the participation of community from the very beginning (decision making)
• Recognize the indigenous knowledge of the community

• The co-existence side by side of WUA and multi-purpose cooperatives is possible. (Case studies)
• The IC/WUAs by-laws are in many ways a duplication of MC, which seems to dilute the required focus on by-laws for effective water management

2. Challenges
Sense of ownership and responsibility
found to be below the required level.• this attribute mainly to low real-community
/beneficiary participation from the very beginning (Planning phase) of some modern irrigation schemes
• Dependency syndrome in food insecure Kebeles/communities

• Lack of clearly defined mandates of PIs as a result of the current BPR
• Negatively affects in implementation of PIs planned capacity building activities
• Confusion at woreda (IDDP Vs CPA) level result in low level of follow-up at the planned project activities
![Page 9: Community Development Group Annual Work Plan (2009-10)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022083007/56649e915503460f94b96737/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Instability and turnover of staff hamper sustainability of project activities

3. Implementation strategies(2009-10)
A. Focus on community level capacity building and institutionalizing of project activities
![Page 11: Community Development Group Annual Work Plan (2009-10)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022083007/56649e915503460f94b96737/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Initiate, organize and conduct stakeholders consultative meetings at woreda level including:
• community representatives• Kebele level officials• Woreda and regional PIs(the experience of East Belessa)
![Page 12: Community Development Group Annual Work Plan (2009-10)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022083007/56649e915503460f94b96737/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
During the meeting:Evaluate activities performed so far and
identify gapsworkout detail action plans on a
participatory basis and redefine roles and responsibilities of woreda, kebele and community
![Page 13: Community Development Group Annual Work Plan (2009-10)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022083007/56649e915503460f94b96737/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Strengthening and empowering watershed/WUAs committees
• Institutionalize watershed committees through technical support in formulating their own by-laws on a participatory basis
• Empowering WUA/IC committees in scheme management and implementation their own bylaws
• Build the capacity of the community organizations to be involved during planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating of the activities
![Page 14: Community Development Group Annual Work Plan (2009-10)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022083007/56649e915503460f94b96737/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
B. Review implementation modalities
Based on the recent BPR and the newly institutional arrangement:-
initiate open discussions with PIs and revise legal documents (guidelines and bylaws) to encourage community/beneficiaries participation
![Page 15: Community Development Group Annual Work Plan (2009-10)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022083007/56649e915503460f94b96737/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The discussion should lead to:• Support and guide water users/communities
in democratically formulating their own bylaws (instead of top down models),
• Revising WUA membership rules to be inclusive of all men and women water users served by the scheme
• The focus of WUA/ICs should be on a single function of scheme operation and maintenance

• Organize field visits with PIs and (Woreda and Zone)
• Direct contact with community representatives whenever the need arises
