It was redesigned and expanded in 1984 to more fully meet the needs of dryland farmers in the 250-450 om precipitation zone. The DA is essentially an institution building project. The primary project components are technical assistance, research, training, funding and facilities. The GCM provides the physical facilities, operational inputs and participant trainees and MIAC provides the technical assistance (TA) staff, equipment, and training for long and short-term participants. Physical facilities provirkd by INRA include buildings for offices, laboratories, workshops, a mechanization center and greenhouse headhouse at the Aridoculture Center. In addftion, -IM -provides -four satellite-research stations. The IIAC staff supervises the academic and research programs of PTs. The PTs complete their course work in U.S. universities and dissertation research in Morocco. M.S. level degrees will be awarded by U.S. univer­ sities and doctorate degrees by IAV. Since implementation of the redesigned project in 1984, the project has made excellent progress. All MIAC TA positions are filled and the staff is actively engaged in research and in providing advice to participant trainees. Research is being conducted by INRA and MIAC staff in Aridoculture Center laboratories, at three satellite research stations and on private farms. The on-farm research trials provide an opportunity to conduct research under a broad range of environmental conditions. Research projects involve cereal breeding, food legumes breeding and management, crop management, soil and water conservation and management, forages, agricul­ tural engineering and mechanization, socio-economics research and plant pest management. The research program is generally developmental oriented. Exceptions are in cases where PTs are doing thesis research of a more fundamental nature to meet dissertation requirements. The direction of the research work is generally on target. However, additional support is needed in plant pathology and agricultural economics. The forage component should also be strengthened and a livestock component added later when the project is extended. While good progress has been made with diagnostic trials at the farm level, the focus to date is largely on production components without much integration of the components into farming systems. The farming systems research and extension approach has been initiated but needs further development, much of which can only be implemented in an extension of the project. In addition to the long-term Th, MIAC has also provided in excess of six person years of short-term assistance. Short-term consultants provide. guidance and advice to PTs, evaluate research plans, support MlIAC research and administrative staff. 1 The DUM calls for cooperation among Mh, MW and IV staff. 1Av faculty mers were to serve as co-advisers to IfA PTs and serve on graduate com ittees. To date and for reasons not well understood by the Evaluation Team, cooperation has been minimal. The problem should be solved, in part at least, as the PTs move through the process of completing Doctor of Science requirements at IAV. The project is now established and moving deliberately to meet its goal and purpose. However, the institution building process is long-term. It is the judgement of the evaluation team that another ten years of assistance will be required before the Aridoculture Center can stand alone. The importance of agricultural mechanization has become apparent as new technologies become available and more farmers progress from subsistence toward comercial agricultural production. However, in some areas, particu­ larly those with sloping to steep and/or shallow, stony soil, animl traction is utilized. The agricultural uechanizaton--reearch -program no in progress places major emphasis on farm equipment to meet the needs of the farmer with small or mid-size land holdings. Tractor power for this size equipment is readily available in Morocco but there is a need for improved tillage, planting and harvesting equipment. The need for new technologies to accommodate the sall-scale farmer is also being addressed. Additional emphasis will be given to the mechanization needs of the small-scale farmer with the assignment of an animal traction mechanization specialist from International Center for Research in Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) to the project. The place of forages in the cropping system has been given relatively little attention by the project. Further, despite the fact that 70 percent of the livestock production in Morocco is associated with cereal crop pro­ duction, the project has had no livestock c"Aponent. In order to more fully utilize available land and inoisture resources and optimize farmer income, livestock

(JSI) as institutional contractor. For further defails, the reader is referred to other project documents, of which an exhaustive bibliography is provided in Annex 2. 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.

Introduction At the request of the Moroccan Authorities, the African Development Bank (AfDB) intends to support the implementation of the 'Drinking Water Quality and Service Improvement Project', which will improve and safeguard drinking water supply to several urban centres (Bouznika, Benslimane, Youssoufia and Safi) and improve water quality of the Bouregreg system (artificial aeration at the SMBA dam and ozonation at the existing treatment plant), as well as the performance of the existing DWS systems (reduce losses, optimize operation, etc.). From an environmental and social standpoint, the project is classified in Category 2 in view of the nature of the works to be implemented and environmental and social impacts ranging from low to moderate. This document is a summary of the Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for the different project components.

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.
