Lesson
The timely completion of topography surveys and detailed engineering design (DED) is crucial to irrigation infrastructure projects. It permits timely procurement and construction works that are critical for projects with multiple phases. Procurement for the construction of secondary and on-farm canals for phase 2 were delayed, as its DED could not commence before phase 1 DED could be finalized. This led to the implementation delays in the succeeding phases. Technically experienced contractors can help execute engineering designs efficiently and in a timely manner.

Lesson
Adequate consultation and inclusiveness of project stakeholders and beneficiaries during preparation strengthens project design quality and facilitates implementation. The involvement of local people, such as farmers during the design stage is important to incorporate specific issues pertaining to the local context (e.g., WUG or WUA in terms of scale participant number, on-farm canals, construction works, cultural and gender roles). Also, generating local participation at the onset provides incentives to reduce risks that may possibly involve resentment and conflicts during implementation.
