The drafting of the final report of the FPIMCH Phase V Project, as well as the project itself, are the result of a team effort. It is in this sense therefore that the use of the word "we" in this report should be understood. First of all, I should like to thank, on behalf of the JSI team, my colleagues of the Ministry of Health (MOH) who gave body and soul to the Prpjed and, especially, Dr. Mostafa Tyane, Director of Population, who was the Project coordinator. I should also like to thank the USAlD team, under the direction of Michele Moloney-Kitts and Susan Wright, who provided technical, administrative and moral support throughout the project. Lastly, neither the implementation of the FPIMCH Phase V Project nor the drafting of this document could have been possible without the commitment and enthusiasm of the JSI team and the sub-contractors, of whom I am only the representative.

Project Description Rabat El Jadida Province The Kingdom of Safi Province Morocco Project Site Algeria Project Location Map Main Canal 1.1 Project Objective The purpose of this project was to construct irrigation facilities in Abda-Doukkala for the supply of irrigation water, to increase agricultural production and create employment and thereby increase farmer income and promote rural economic development. 1.2 Outline of the Loan Agreement Approved Amount/ Disbursed Amount 13,548 million yen / 13,426 million yen Loan Agreement Signing Date / Final June, 1996 / November, 2001 Disbursement Date Ex-post Evaluation 2005 Executing Agency Office Regional de Mise en Valeur Agricole des Doukkala (ORMVAD) Main Contractor BECAM(Morocco) / STAM(Morocco)(JV) / GRUPOACCIONA.S.A.( Morocco) / S.T.A.I.P.(Morocco)(JV) / S.T.A.I.P.(Morocco) / EMT(Morocco) / SOCA(Morocco) / SOGEA(Morocco)(JV) / AIC(Morocco)/ OMCE(Morocco) / SOGETRAMA(Morocco)(JV) / DIAMATIT(Morocco) / SNCE(Morocco)(JV) Main Consultant HYDROPROJECTO(Portugal) / EWI MAROC(Morocco) / SCET(Morocco)(JV) 3-1 1.3 Background of Ex-post Monitoring Moroccan agriculture consumes over 90% of the usable water resources. Considering the increase in demand for industrial-use water and water supply as the country’s industry develops and its cities grow, there is a strong possibility that in the future the proportion of irrigation water could be limited. Therefore the efficient use of water through the construction of irrigation facilities has been an urgent issue.
