In addition, five irrigation work design and supervision contracts and four large 10/28/2021 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Tunisia Irrigated Agriculture Intensification Project (P160245) irrigation equipment purchase contracts have been signed. Project implementation is gaining speed and some irrigation and drainage rehabilitation works are now starting on the ground. Discussions are also progressing on setting up the new irrigation institutional framework, including the establishment of a dedicated operator as a public company. The creation of the new operator has been approved by the Council of Ministers and technical preparatory works are progressing for its effective establishment. Field surveys will also start shortly to help better understand the existing production systems and farmers' strategies on the targeted irrigation schemes. This diagnostic will guide further discussion on adopting innovative approaches to maximize returns in irrigation rehabilitation investments by modernizing the traditional production system and encouraging diversification towards higher value-added crops.
