Egypt - New Land Development Project (Cr.1083-EGT) Extension of Closing Date

Credit: Date Signed Date Effective Original Closing Date Current Closing Date Amount Disbursed as of 11/01/88

SDR 60.9 02/02/81 10/02/81 12/31/87 12/31/88 SDR 55.1

1. The Government of Egypt has requested extension of the closing date of the referenced project for one year as from the current closing date of 12/31/88 to 12/31/89. This is the second extension of the project. Last year the project was extended for one year from its original closing date of 12/31/87 to 12/31/88. This memorandum requests due consideration of the Government's request to extend the closing date for one more year. I find this request justifiable as per explanation presented below.

2. The major components of the project are construction of 20 villages with provision of infrastructure, social services, production and administration facilities, housing for small land holders and project staff, and settlement of 4,000 landless farmers on 24,000 feddans of reclaimed land having irrigation and drainage facilities.

3. Phase I of the project is now completed, except for the field drains 50% of which is now installed. The delay was caused by delay in the import of special machinery needed for its installation. However, now the work is progressing satisfactorily and we expect that the field drains of this phase would be completed by June, 1989. The remedial work needed was also completed. At present one looks with satisfaction at the ongoing agricultural activities in this phase of the project and the level of production that has been attained by the farmers who have settled this area less than 3 years ago.

4. In addition to the agricultural development in Phase I of the project, a number of social services are being provided, such as schools, clinics, shopping centers, post office facilities, etc., which make available needed services to the settlers. Truly an oasis is springing up in the heart of the desert, bubbling with life of all sorts.

S. Phase II of the project is also developing rapidly. About 951 of the housing has been completed, expected to be finalized at the end of this year. Land reclamation activities are also progressing well, except for Area C which was plagued by encroachers. A formula has been adopted recently which will resolve this problem shortly. There are already 1,000 settlers who have started their agricultural activities for the first year. They will become productive farmers like their cousins in Phase I, within a maximum of three years.

6. In the past year, GARPAD has been very cooperative in the implementation of an extension service in the area and planning for an adequate utilization of the Training Farm. Twenty extension agents were assigned to the project and seven subject matter specialists were identified who now visit the project site and carry out the training of the extension staff. The arrangement is not to the total satisfaction of the Bank since the SMS's come from Cairo and stay for only one or two hours weekly. Furthermore, the extention agents do not have sufficient transport facilities to cover the project farmers on a regular basis. However, the steps taken by GARPAD were in the right direction. The Training Farm was also reorganized and is given a mandate to carry out the following tasks: (i) to grow new crops not known to the project farmers; (ii) to grow new varieties of crops recently produced by research centers in the country; and (iii) to show modern irrigation techniques and improved crop production methodology. These would be demonstrated on somewhat large plots to show the farmers new varieties of crops and new technologies for adoption in the project area. Further and in order to increase liaison with the project farmers, limited quantities of vegetable seedlings would be produced in this Farm which would be available for sale to project farmers at cost.

7. As explained above, the action program agreed upon earlier between the Bank and GARPAD has been more or less adhered to and the project in the past year has made satisfactory progress. There is no covenant in default.

8. The remaining problems are that of the encroachers for which GARPAD has now advanced a formula as discussed above, and the extension service which is slowly becoming operational. It is anticipated that all the project components of the project would be finalized by the end of the next year, i.e. 1989. In a recent telex received November 28, GARPAD has assured the Bank that outstanding problems with respect to encroachment, agricultural extension, operation and maintenance are being addressed and resolved . Therefore, in order to keep the link with the project towards the improvement of the extension methodology and attaining the mandate of the Training Farm, and also to enable GARPAD to finalize its responsibilities towards the project farmers, I recommend that you approve extension of the project for one more year, to 12/31/89. To be honest, the Bank should be proud of its involvement with a project such as this one which will enhance the Bank's positive image in its development efforts in the Third World. ///1. C\' (l ~ 9.

RE: NEW LANDS DEVELOPMENT I (CREDIT 1083-EGT), AND THE SUPERVISION MISSION WHICH VISITED EGYPT RECENTLY. WE THANK YOU FOR COURTESIES EXTENDED TO THE MISSION AND WE HEREBY ENDORSE THEIR AIDE MEMOIRE LEFT WITH YOU. WE ARE PLEASED THAT A STEADY PROGRESS HAS BEEN ACHIEVED IN CONSTRUCTING THE FIELD DRAINS IN PHASE I, AND OF VILLAGES AND RECLAMATION ACTIVITIES IN PHASE II OF THE PROJECT. HOWEVER, WE ARE STILL CONCERNED ON A NUMBER OF ISSUES WHICH REQUIRE YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION: AAA. RESOLVING THE CONTINUING ENCROACHMENT WHICH HAS SO FAR DELAYED RECLAMATION ACTIVITIES IN AREA C OF THE PROJECT. PLEASE LET US KNOW WHEN YOU EXPECT TO IMPLEMENT THE FORMULA RECENTLY ADVANCED BY GARPAD AS RECORDED IN PARAS. 24 AND 25 OF THE AIDE MEMOIRE. BBB. WE ARE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION ACTIVITIES WHICH HAVE YET TO BECOME FULLY OPERATIONAL. ONE IMPROVEMENT TO BE MADE IS BY APPOINTMENT OF THREE FULL TIME SUBJECT MATTER SPECIALISTS IN THE FIELDS OF IRRIGATION, AGRONOMY, PLANT

P~~TECTION AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY, AS AGREED WITH YOU, THE THREE SMSS WOULD BACK UP THE EXTENSION STAFF AND IMPLEMENT THE PROGRAM RECOMMENDED BY THE MISSION ON THE TRAINING/EXPERIMENTAL FARM. CCC. BUDGETARY NEEDS OF THE EXTENSION PROGRAM WOULD NEED TO BE SATISFIED. DDD. THE MAINTENEANCE OF THE NASR CANAL BETWEEN P.S. NO. 1 AND P.S. NO. 2 AND RECENT ENCROACHMENT ON THE CANAL BETWEEN P.S. NO. 4 AND P.S. NO. 5 FOR WHICH A COORDINATED EFFORT IS URGENTLY NEEDED WITH THE MINISTRY OF IRRIGATION. PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT MEASURES YOU WOULD PROPOSE FOR SAFEGUARDING ADEQUATE WATER FLOW IN NASR CANAL AND PREVENT CONTINUOUS ENCROACHMENT. EEE. APPOINTMENT OF A STAFF MEMBER TO IDENTIFY PROBLEMS OF OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS WHO WOULD LIAISE WITH THE VARIOUS AGENCIES INVOLVED WITH THE PROJECT SUCH AS MINISTRIES OF IRRIGATION, HEALTH, EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MAY BE ONE WAY TO TACKLE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PROBLEMS ARISING IN THE PROJECT AREA. FFF. FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE FARM EQUIPMENT IN THE PROJECT AREA, WE SUGGEST RENTING EXISTING WORKSHOPS BUILT UNDER THE PROJECT TO INTERESTED PRIVATE PARTIES TO CARRY OUT REPAIR WORK NEEDED. GGG. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT MONITORING AND EVALUATION OF PROJECT ACTIVITIES BE PUT ON A MORE SOLID BASIS SO THAT DATA BECOME AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE EVALUATION OF THE PROJECT. PLEASE EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITY OF ASSIGNING THIS RESPONSIBILITY TO A TEAM RECENTLY RECRUITED TO CARRY OUT SIMILAR WORK ON WEST BEHEIRA PROJECT ON THE MECHANIZED FARM. THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF THIS PROJECT, DR. EL GHITANY, IS AGREEABLE TO THIS SUGGESTION. HHH. IF AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY RECENTLY PROCURED BY GARPAD CANNOT ALL BE UTILIZED WITHIN THE PROJECT AREA, PERHAPS YOU COULD CONSIDER SELLING SUCH EXTRA MACHINERY AND IMPLEME~TS, THE PROCEEDS OF WHICH WOULD BE UTILIZED BY GARPAD FOR OTHER NEEDS OF THE PROJECT, SUCH AS COWS FOR EXAMPLE. III. YOUR REQUEST TO PROCURE LIVESTOCK TO PROJECT FARMERS WOULD BE LOOKED INTO IN THE LIGHT OF DISCUSSIONS HELD WITH YOU AND ACCORDING TO PARAS. 27, 28 AND 29 OF THE AIDE MEMOIRE LEFT WITH YOU BY THE MISSION. JJJ. WE SHALL AWAIT YOUR RESPONSE TO THIS TELEX TO LET US KNOW WHAT ACTIONS YOU PROPOSE TO TAKE ON ABOVE ISSUES. AN EARLY RESPONSE FROM YOUR SIDE WILL FACILITATE TIMELY PROCESSING OF YOUR REQUEST TO EXTEND THE CLOSING DATE OF THE PROJECT.

INTRODUCTION

ANNEX 1 Page 1

1. IDA mission Messrs. Jamal Fuad, agriculturalist , Al Nyberg, senior economist (World Bank), A. Rashid, irrigation engineer and Sivagnanam, settlement specialist (consultants), visited Egypt during the period of October 21 through November 4th, to review, inter alia, progress achieved in the overall implementation of the project components of the referenced project. The mission visited the project site and discussed with project personnel progress achieved in the agricultural development, village construction and land reclamation activities, and settlement and encroachment aspects in the project area. The findings of the mission, discussions held and/or agreements reached are recorded in this aide memoire, which is subject to confirmation by the Bank management.

AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT

2) The mission is pleased to note a steady progress in agricultural development in the area. Although no concrete data is available, farmers interviewed showed satisfaction with the level of yields they have been getting. The general impression gained is that during the first year of settlement settlers can only survive with the assistance they receive from the project (through a WFP program, plus a daily wage from the project) the second year they reach an equity between inputs and farm outputs, while in the third year the latter (outputs) exceeds inputs, giving the settlers a margin of profit.

AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION AND . TRAINING

3) The mission is also pleased to note that 20 extension agents have been appointed to the project and that a number of subject matter specialist have been identified to carry out regular training ~f the extension agents. The mission

ANNEX 1 Page 2

attended one of these training sessions and participated in the discussions and emphasized the importance of regular training of the extension staff their regular field visits, and research extension linkages.

4) There is definitely some room for improving the quality of the training carried out, such as: (i) extending the duration of the training session to last at least 4 hours weekly, (ii) focussing on problems of direct interest to the project area, (iii) involving staff of the nearby West Nubaria Research in these meetings, and (iv) carrying out part of the training session in the field to give the training more practical flavor.

5) The management has suggested a one week training of the extensionist in Cairo to visit the Agricultural Research Center (ARC> to become familiar with the ongoing activities in improved crop production. The mission while supporting this program, it emphasise that such training should not be considered as an end to the extentionist's training but only as an introduction to ARC to be followed up by regular continuous training.

6) Field visits by the extension agents need to be more regularized and office attendance should be kept to the minimum. The extension agents should also establisH small demonstration farms in coooperation with settlers, and introduce the concept of contact farmers in the project area.

7) To achieve regular farm visits and regular training, and the establishment of demonstration farms, GARPAD would provide needed budget and transport facilities. With regards to the latter motorcyeles procured under the project would be distruibuted to the extension staff so that they can become more effective in providing needed guidance to the settlers.

I~~ TRAINING FARM

8) The mission noted with satisfaction compl-tion of the field drains and land leveling of the Training Farm (42 feddans), and its improved utilization. The technical staff in charge of the farm has now agreed to earlier recommendation by the Bank mission to utilize the farm:

ANNEX 1 Page 3

to verify success of certain new crops not grown currently in the project area.

to verify success of naw crop varieties recently selected and recommended . by ARC.

to demonstrate improved utilization of the agricultural machinery.

to demonstrate improved technology in vegetable and fruit production, such as use of plastic tunnels and demonstration of pruning techniques.

9) Since sugar beet is a new crop in the area part of the farm would be devoted to experimentation with this corp to establish suitable cultural practices and select suitable cultivars.

10) Furthermore, and to establish a better liaison with the project farmers, seedlings of certain vegetables would be produced which would be sold to farmers at cost~

I~~ ENGINEERING COMPONENT:

11) The missioM is pleased with the present rate of progress in the engineering activiteis and expressed satisfaction with the overall performance of the supervising engineers and contractors in implementing Phase II of the project.

12) The village buildings are virtually complete with t he exception of some units such as stores and tidying up. The remedial works have also been completed. It is essential that the two potable reservoire be completed soon so that settlers would not suffer from shortage of potable water.

13) The installation of the field and collector drains is behind schedule but at present making satisfactory progress which is about SOX completed and it is expected to be finalized by June 1989.

PHASE II

14) The ongoing activities in Phase II for areas A, B, and C and regional drain are satisfactory. The over - all progress at present is estimated at about 2.5X per month.

16) Nasr Canal is considered the backbone of the project. The mission briefly inspected this canal from its off-take at Nubariya Canal to Pumping Station <PS) No. 5 in the heart of the project area to assess its general status and recommend needed effort for its operation and maintenance.

17) Generally, the Canal has adequate size to accomodate the ultimate development peak flow with an average velocity of about 1.0m/s. The mission observed various activities along the canal, such as dtedging, earth work, constructing parallel canal between the PS No, 1 and PS No. 2 and concrete piled wall for short distances.

18) Nasr Canal is the first and largest canal in west Nubariya.

19)

The first 28 km of the canal which has 3 pump stations was opened in 1'371. Part of the lining of this stretch of the canal, particarlarly the initial section, is in very poor condition. Some work has been undertaken to patch and repair parts of canal sections. - It is evident that considerable further remedial work is required along extensive parts of the canal. Problems related to compaction of the embankments and joints without proper sealing, are very obvious and must be causin~ concern. A second parallel canal has been built but not completed between P.S. No. 1 and P.S. No. 2. It is assumed that this canal has been constructed to allow for maintenance along the o-ld -stretch and to give ultimate develc,pment peak summer flow.

Along . the newly constructed Nasr Canal i~ the project the lining along the canal has been damaged in

area many

locations due to illegal water uptake from. west side of the canal. This is a serious problem causing considerable loss of water. The authorities in consultation and coordination with the project must find a proper solution to avoid more costly damages. The mission emphasized necessity of due attention to problems of the Nasr Canal and coordination of activities of the parties conce~ned to insure constinuous delivery of water to the project area.

20. QQ~~~ii2n and Maintance

Adequate operation and maintenance of the project infrastructure and water system is of vital importance. So far various bodies carry out partial operation and maintenance. To achieve smooth running of the system and to look after the infrastructures of the project, establishment of a strong O&M, and proper coordination between concerned bodies is critical. Serious consideration should be given to the establishment of a single O~M unit for the project with authority to implement and coordinate as needed. The mission asked the project management to look into this matter very seriously and endeavor to set up an efficient O~M unit as soon as possible.

Settlement

21) Settlement is continuing in the project area. The total number now has reached about 2100, and is increasing, expected to reach 2200 settlers by the end of December, 1988. The remainder of the project area is expected to be settled by the middle of 1'989. Villages 13, 14, 16, 17, 1'3 have bee·n settled, mostly by graduates who now number over 1000.

22) Like the small holders, the graduates are also allocated 6 -faddan farms, which may not provide for ~n income to meet their aspirations. Also they would need more logistic support to insure higher income through increased use of fertilizer and farm machinery, introduction of animal husbandry and supply of needed credits. Their performance would also need to be ~lqsely monitored to identify cases of non-development, for which remedial action would be taken.

23) For the future settlement, selection of groups from the same area would provide for more harmony among settlers and faster development.

ANNEX 1 Page 7

24) Encroachers still abound in the project area. Earlier eviction order have now been frozen. A new system for accepting the de facto situation, and working out a settlement plan for the encroachers is underway. Under this system, ownerships will be granted to about 100 settlers who have each accupied 2-6 feddan~ before 1985 GARPAD is requested urgently to implement the proposed plan and to allocate needed funds for compensating demolition of some houses which may be in the way of setting up the 6 feddan farms.

25) For about 7 others who have recently accupied about 400 feddans in area GARPAD would request from security authorities issuance of immediate eviction orders so that agricultural development is no t hindered in this part of the project.

26) Social and Communit~ DeveloQment

Settlers are provided with social faclities which are adequate and operational in phase I. Thirteen cooperative have now been formed of whi~ 7 are completely operational. However credit facilities are yet to be provided in the project area. This issue would need to be looked at and needed action be taken. Arrangements are being made to provide for needed social facilities in other newly settled areas.

Procurement of Livestock

27) GARPAD wishes to procure livestock from the proceeds of the credit. The mission pointed out . that only a s~all amount of uncommitted funds is available for this purpose, and as the animals would be procured locally, disbursement would be made against the usual withdrawal applications to cover the agreed proportion of the local expenditure.

28) It is suggested also that fund$ be allocated from the proceeds of _. the loan to support the Livestock Development Fund so that it can extend credit to project farmers for the purchase of the needed a n imals.

29> The mission explained that under both propositions the Development Credit Agreement <DCA) would have to be amended to allow for allocation of · funds for this propose. Once

ANNEX l

Page 8

decided a request for the amendment of the OCA would be sent to Bank Management for consideration.

Agricultural Machiner~

30) One hundred fifty tractors (and related equipment> hav• been purchased and are available for distribution. The initial distribution of 21 tractors is proposed to be made to 7 cooperatives (3 tractors to each coop.) now functioning. It is understood that the terms of sale include one year of grace and a five year repayment period. Eleven percent interest will be charged with SX accruing to PBOAC to c over their administrative and handling costs.

31) Custom hire rates for various activities (plowing, drilling, etc) will be established, using the MALR machinery rental station (MRS) rates as a guide. The mission strongly recommends the rates be based on a full financial budget for operating the equipment and include an appropriate depreciation component. Only in this way will the tractor hire component be a self~sustaining operation.

32) Although facilities for major repair and overhaul are provided under the project, the mission is concerned that the lack of adequate servicing and maintenance may render the tractors and equipment unnecessarily inoperative during critical periods, affecting both costs recovery and timely agricultural operations. This facet of tractor operation needs to be addressed.

Accounting ang Augi1ing

33) The accounts are up-to-date, however the audited accounts contain insufficient detail to comply with the audit covenant. An income and expenditure statement contiaining expenditures by category from all sources of funds (local budget and external with a separate column for IDA disbursements) is required for the fiscal year under audit. These may be supplemented with expenditures since the i nception of the project, if desired.

Institutional Achievements

34) The number of social services provided under the project is numerous and coordination with the appropriate agencies

ANNEX 1

Page 9

appears to be good. Similarly coordination with agencies which provide production services also appears to be good. The mission appreciates th• reluctanc• of cooperatives to lend to settlers who have not proven themselves as completent serious farmers. However, th• inability to obtain production imputs on credit discriminates against the new settlers. Project management is requested to find a solution to this problem.

Monitoring and Evaluation

35) At appraisal if was anticipated that designated staff in engineering, agriculture and community development would monitor progress and achievements in their sectors. However, as the physical and social infrastructure nears completion, more farmers are settled and agricutural production becomes more widespread, a more intensive monitoring effort will be required to det•rmine the benefits of the proejct. The mission recommends a monitoring and evaluation officers be recruited and provided with resources sufficient to collect and analyze production, economic and social data. Assistance may be required from other institutions <such as Marriott Community Center and the University of Alexandria) for designing surveys nd undertaking some analyses.

Extension of thi Project Closing ~~1•

36) The project is due to close December 31, 1988. GARPAD requesting extension of the closing data by one year, December 31, 1989. This request is supported by Ministry of International Cooperation.

is to

the

37) The mission has noted with satisfaction the general progress in the implementation of th• projects agricultural, engineering and settlements activities. However one of the outstanding issue is that of the encroachers in th• project area. GARPAD is expending a sincere effort in resolving this issue. However the mission realizes that this problem has administrative and legal aspects, which involves authorities beyond GARPAD's sphere of influence. GARPAD is presently considering some alternatives towards solution of this problem (paras 24 and 25).

38) One more point in favor of the extension of the closing date is that more time would be needed to set up on effective agricultural extension syst•• for which Bank involvement would be recommended, including assistance in

the organization of th• training programs and utilization of the training farm.

39) Therefore, and as an extended service to the farming community in the project areaf the mission recommends extension of th• closing da~e by on• year, to December 31/19/89 as requested, to allow for the completion of all the project components as envisaged in the project document.

REPORT ON THE ENGINEERING COMPONENT OF THE NEW LANDS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT (CR. 1083-EGT)

1. In accordance with the terms of reference dated 30th August 1988, regarding review of the engineering component of the referenced project, I visited Egypt during the period of October 20th through November 4th, and discussed with official concerned and project personnel various aspects of the engineering activities of the project.

2. Accompanied by GARPAD and consulting engineers, I visited the project site and reviewed the ongoing activities and their progress. Below is a summary of my findings.

The Engineering Component

2. The mission is pleased with the present rate of progress in the engineering activities and expressed satisfaction with the overall performance of the supervising engineers and contractors in implementing Phase II of the project.

Phase I

4. The village buildings are virtually complete with the exception of some units such as stars and tidying up. The remedial works have also been completed.

5. The installation of the field and collector drains is behind schedule but at present making satisfactory progress which is about 50% completed and is expected to be finalized by June 1989.

Phase Il

6. The ongoing activities in Phase II for Areas A, Band C and regional drain are satisfactory. The overall progress at present is estimatd to be about 2.5% per month.

7. A summary of work progress for project A, Band C and the regional drain is as follows:

8- The villages in Project Areas A, B, and Care now almost complete except the internal asphalt roads which are outstanding in some villages. The settlers houses in the Project Cente are complete but considerable tidying up work still requires to be done. The most major constraint to settlement of the project villages is the completion of main external water supply and electrical network.

Project Area A

9. The Land Reclamation in Project Area A is now about 80t complete. The outstanding items remaining are access trucks, tertiary canal escapes, collector drains, drain structures, service reservoir, pump station and drain bridges to the main road.

10. Progress in the service reservoir and pump station has improved at present. Major improvements is required in the output to complete these reservoirs in order to give the water supply needed by the present settlers. Further, settlement at present might not be possible until both service reservoirs and pump station are completed.

Project Area B

11. Land Reclamation in Project Area B continues to progress satisfactory and at present about 68t complete. Final completion is expected by the end of January 1989. Additional areas 35 farm units are now being reclaimed in Area B to compensate for land previously lost to Antiquities Authorities.

Project Area C

12. Land reclamation is about 13% complete in Area C and there are certain difficulties facing progress in this area. These are mainly related to: illegal settlers in the area and contractor's mobilization in Area C. Full mobilization by the construction in Area C is expected during October 1988.

Regional Drain

13. The contractor is in full possession of the site after payment of compensation by GARPAD for the compulsory purchase of buildings on the Regional Drain.

14. Regional Drain involves heavy and large constructional structures. The progress on the construction of the drain is going satisfactorily. The main activities related to the Regional Drain are:

17. Nasr Canal is considered the backbone of the project. The mission briefly inspected this canal from its off-take at Nubariya Canal to Pumping Station (PS) No. 5 in the heart of the project area to assess its general status and recommend needed effort for its operation and maintenance.

18. Generally, the Canal has adequate size to accommodate the ultimate development peak flow with an average velocity of about 1.0m/s. The mission observed various activities along the canal, such as dredging, earth work, constructing parallel canal between the PS No. 1 and PS No. 2 and concrete piled wall for short distances.

19. Nasr Canal is the first and largest canal in west Nubariya. The first 28 km of the canal which has 3 pump stations was opened in 1971. Part of the lining of this stretch of the canal, particularly the initial section, is in very poor condition. Some work has been undertaken to patch and repair parts of canal sections. It is evident that considerable further remedial work is required along extensive parts of the canal. Problems related to compaction of the embankments and joints without proper sealing are very obvious and must be causing concern. A second parallel canal has been built but not completed between P.S. No. 1 and P.S. No. 2. It is assumed that this canal has been constructed to allow for maintenance along the old stretch and to give ultimate development peak summer flow.

20. Along the newly constructed Nasr Canal in the project area the lining along the canal has been damaged in many locations due to illegal water uptake from west side of the canal. This is a serious problem causing considerable loss of water. The authorities, in consultation and coordination with the project, must find a proper solution to avoid more costly damages. The mission emphasized necessity of due attention to problems of the Nasr Canal and coordination of activities of the parties concerned to insure continuous delivery of water to the project area.

NEW LANDS DEVELOPMENT I (CR. 1083-EGT)

Report on Settlement

T. Sivagnanam, Consultant

1. The project consists of the development of 24,000 feddans in 4,000 farm holdings of six feddans each. The 4,000 small holders will be settled in 4 main villages and 16 satellite villages with the necessary social and infrastructure facilities at appropriate levels. Settlement was programmed to conunence at the beginning of 1983 and to be completed by end of 1985. A farm of six feddans was projected to give a net return to the farmer in the first year of about LE 475 rising to LE 1,100 in the 3rd year, LE 2,000 in the 6th year and LE 2,400 in the 10th year.

2. Settlement of small holders commenced in 1986 and up to the time of the mission's visit, 1,066 small holders have been settled in villages Nos. 1-7. Villages 13-17 and 19 have been settled in 1987/88 in six feddans farm plots but the settlers have been selected from graduates agricultural and non-agricultural. Settlement of the remaining areas with small holders will be completed in the latter half of 1989. The unemployed young graduates form a vociferous group potentially disruptive and special consideration to give them some relief was considered necessary. The selection of graduates for small holdings of six feddans can be appreciated in the circumstances whether this size of farm will satisfy the income aspirations of graduate has to be studied. Income projections under ideal conditions for the first 5 years range from LE 475 to LE 1,775 for a six feddan farm. The small holder will remain on the land at low income levels. He will supplement his income by off-farm employment in agricultural labor, trade and craft.

3. A graduate farmer will not be satisfied with this income level and will be looking for alternate employment. Unless the income is made ' attractive, there is the risk of the farms being leased or abandoned and graduates seeking other openings. The need for a special package of support to maximize income from the farms and make it attractive to the graduates to take to agriculture as a career on this size of farm is essential. Small farm incomes can be increased by high value crop rotations, higher inputs, mechanization, and enlarged animal husbandry programs supported by adequate credit on easy terms.

4. Settlers had to be health and physique, and not selection. They had to have addition to the applicant of feddans, with priority being

3207C

Egyptian citizens with a crime-free record, good more than 50 years of age to be eligible for a household of 3 persons with one person in working age. They should own no more than two given to the landless.

- 2 -

5. Agriculture should have been the main occupation in the preceeding five years and there should be willingness to participate in training and work programs. While the data furnished by the applicants appear to have been verified and computerized, the number of applications received ran into several thousands and interviews of applicants by Selection Boards did not take place. Some of the farmers interviewed by the mission are highly motivated, innovative and market oriented and are good selections. The interview procedure by Selection Board would have resulted in a comparative assessment of applicants and led to a better selection.

6. Settlers both small holders and graduates from different locations with little previous acquaintance and familiarity have been settled as a community in the new villages. It will take some time before mutual trust and confidence and a feeling of community builds up. Selection of even small groups from the same geographical area or background and settling them as neighbors will help to alleviate problems of adjustment in the new areas. Natural leadership will emerge in these groups because of previous familiarity or acquaintance and such leaders can be used by extension, community development and other organization as contact farmers, for water management and for social and community activities. Farmers who have yet to be settled may be grouped in small groups on this basis and kept together in villages.

7. Data is not available on the present state of development and productivity of farms of the small holders and graduates. Data is also not available on non-residence, leasing and other forms of illegal disposition. The project management estimates that it will not exceed 3% of the settlers. The first batch of small holder settlers were placed in possession of their farms in 1986 and will complete the 3 year period of probationary tenancy in 1989. Data will have to be collected about the state of development and cultivation in each farm plot, on non-residence or illegal disposition and related matters. Detailed information on each farm plot is necessary for the Project Management to make decision on: (a) whether the settler has developed and cultivated the land satisfactorily and has accordingly qualified for ownership; or (b) whether the settler has not qualified by reason of non-development of land illegal disposition and non-residence and the tenancy is to be rescinded.

8. Detailed monitoring of the development of the farms held by graduates is necessary in addition to the special support measures recommended. A program of development should be requested of each graduate farmer and early action taken regarding non-residence and non-development. The organization at the Project Management Level to monitor individual small holders and graduate farmers is inadequate and should be strengthened.

Social and Community Facilities

9. The project provides for the construction of 4 main villages and 16 satellite villages at the rate of about 200 families (population of 1,200) per village. Social facilities at each satellite village include a primary school and workshop, and a Branch Clinic visited 3 times a week by a doctor from the Rural Health Unit from the village center. Community facilities include a mosque, shop, bank office, market place, farmers' club and football field. Agriculture service buildings include a store for storage and distribution of

3207C

- 3 -

seed, fertilizer and agricultural inputs. In the main village in addition to the above, a Rural Health Clinic instead of a Branch Clinic, a shopping center, main Mosque, police station, administration office, tractor workshop and stores for produce and implemente have been provided. In villages Nos. 1 to 7, the main village is village No. 1 and the rest are satellite villages. Five primary schools in the satellite villages are equipped, staffed and operational. Two more schools remain to be staffed though the construction of buildings is complete. The Project Management indicated that the teachers are resident with their families and their children attend the same schools. This gives stability to the community and the teachers can play a leading role in community and social development activities. The branch dispensaries are visited thrice a week by one of the two doctors from the Rural Health Clinic. The Rural Health Clinic in main village 1 was staffed and made operational in Sept. 1988. The hospital equipment was supplied by the project and the Doctors are provided with transport. The facilities provided can be considered adequate. However, the Project Management has to ensure the necessary coordination with the relevant ministries to make the facilities staffed and operational at the time settlers are brought in. Failure to do so results in farmers having to seek these facilities in the neighboring village at some inconvenience.

The project center for the scheme is being constructed in Phase B and is 75% complete. Accommodation is being provided for the main project office, veterinary clinic, police station, fire station, project workshop, tractor shop, shopping center and secondary school in addition to the facilities of a main village. Provision is also being made for milk processing and for sunflower oil and olive oil initially. Housing is being provided for a population of 8,000 (1,200 houses) to meet short-term requirements with provision for expansion at a later stage to double the capacity.

10. A preschool child care center has been established for children 3-5 years old. There are 30 children in the school and the parents are charged a fee of LE 1.50 per month per child. The teachers as well as toys and equipment for the school are funded by the Project. Food is not provided to the children. Some handicraft training is being given with 6-10 girls under training and the products sold in the village. Rabbit production has been organized in village No. 6 and sold locally at LE 15-20 per rabbit. There is need for a concentrated effort to expand child care and handicraft training to all villages as well as to diversify the training. Womens training which should have commenced as the settlers moved in has not been organized yet. It is essential that women settlers be provided with training in nutrition, environmental sanitation, population health and handicrafts as envisaged at project appraisal. The community development section requires to be adequately staffed, trained and motivated and the activities of this section closely monitored to ensure the various programming indicated above as well as adult education and other activities are implemented effectively.

11. Small holders and graduates have not been undergone any training programs prior to being placed in possession of their farms. Agricultural extension services have still to become effective. Several cooperative societies have been formed but no credit facilities have so far been extended to farmers. Some farmers made representations that fertilizer was not available in time and in sufficient quantities. It is desirable that agricultural support services should be organized and made functional as settlers move in.

12. Encroachers present a serious problem, obstructing progress of construction work by the civil works contractor and interfering with the farm layout. Illicit tapping of water damages canals and interferes with water management. There are about 100 encroachments each not exceeding 10 feddans which dates back to before 1985. Some of these encroachments stand in the way of construction works. Houses built on some encroachments interfere with the farm layout. These encroachers have however lived on the land for over 3 years and deserve special consideration. The Project Management is considering them for selection as small holders on the extents they have encroached but their holdings will be limited to the small holder farm size of 6 feddans. Where the encroachment or structures of houses obstruct development works they will be given alternative lands and paid compensation for the houses. They will be eligible for housing in the villages set up under the project on the same terms as settlers.

13. No data is available on encroachments that have taken place since 1985 on the numbers involved or extents encroached. In the case of the encroachments which are two years old or over the possibility of making a limited number of their regular settlers, giving priority to older encroachments, seems a reasonable solution.

14. There are seven large scale encroachments covering about 400 feddans and it is essential that they should be evicted immediately.

15. The project authority should set up a unit to specifically deal with encroachments. Its main tasks will be to deal with encroachments that have already taken place and to take steps to detect early and prevent or remove new encroachments. Data has to be collected on each encroacher, family size, any lands owned by him outside the project, other assets owned, extent encroached, improvements made and cost of improvements. This data and the selection criteria for settlers will enable the project management to make decisions.

16. The other function of the unit is to detect and take action to prevent or remove encroachment. Periodical inspection by mobile units and feedback by project field staff when they notice encroachments will enable early remedial action to be taken to be reviewed. Powers vested by Article 23 of the Law No. 143 of 1981, "Concerning Desert Land" needs review to strengthen the authority of GARPAD and the Project Authority to deal with encroachments.

1. Please note that the Egyptian Government has asked for the extension of the closing date of the New Land Development Project (Credit 1083-EGT), one year beyond the present closing date of December 31, 1988, i.e., to December 31, 1989, and it is expected that the Bank will comply. However, the final decision will only be taken after the review mission, scheduled to visit Egypt during the second week of October, gives its final recommendation on its return to Washington.

2. Under the circumstances, please continue to disburse funds against withdrawal applications presented by the Government so that project implementation will not suffer.

staff. In addition JO extention staff are beinq rPcruited who

are due to arrivp at thP projPct ~~J!.i'. .l..!. _]~R8. The staffinq ---- -· of thP other sections in the project unit is satisfactory. Each

villaqe in Phase I also has an aariculturP officer who looks

after farmer's input nPeds.

5. ThP mission rPcommends traininq of thP Pxtension staff soon after

ENGINEERING ASPECTS

PhasP I

6. The remedial works are wPll underway. All crac~s. joints and

leakaqes in thP primary~ SPcondary canals have hPen taken c~rP

of durinq the winter watPr closure pPriod. Other rPmedial works

for major strucutrps havP also heen finalizerl. Works to hP

finalized in the next two months arP imorovemPnt in two sPcondary

canals, installation of one marhle aauqe platP and realiqnmPnt of

nnp tprtiary conal. ThP SPPpaqP problem is t,d"' n ca re fro m t:;isPr

Phase II

8. For Contract A all earthworks havP bePn completpd, including thp

fielrl and open drains. HnwPvPr, thP collector drains will be

finished at thP end of thP year. The primary & secondary canals

have also been finished, and of the 73 Km of tertiary canals

only 5 Km are left. Out of the total area of 5800 fPd. 3528

fed. have been cropped and alrPady settled. Villaqes # 13, 15,

16 are completed includinq internal paved roarls and watPr and

electricity. Villaqes # 17 & 14 are expected to ~e completPd at

the end of April, 1988.

9. For Contract B (5100 fed.) earthworks has bePn completed, roads

and canals are 90% complP.tPd. Villaqes # 18, 19, 20, 21 have

also been completed while the Project Center is only 50%

completed. Open drains arP 100% complete, the field drains 40%

and irriqation canals are 80% complete.

10. Under Contract C (5800 fPd.) 10% of the needed Parthwork has

been finishpd and 5 villaqes are 70% completed. Some dPlays

were causPd by pncroachment which GARPAD is currently tryinq to

solve.

NASR CANAL

11. The mission inspPcted Nasr Canal from its intake point to PS #3.

The present status is as follows:

The PWWR is currently installinq sheet pilPs finishinq 2 Km

out of the total of 9 Kms.

From PS#l a lined parallel canal is beinq built as a

substitute to the main canal.

From PS#2 an earthen parallel canal is bPing built to dry up

the main canal for lininq.

Major remedial works between PS#2 and PS#3 were carried out

durinq the wintP.r closure pP.riod and are r.ontinuinq.

The mission emphasizPrl that GARPAO should follow up complption

of the above activities through the Ministry of Public Works and

Water Resources.

AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT

Agricultural Extension

12. Final arrangement is beinq made on the recruitment of extension

staff and assiqnment of subject matter specialists. The mission

was assured that a full extension program would bP.come

opPrational no later than SeptPmber first 19RR. This inclurles

assignmP.nt of an extension officer from amonq experienced

aqricultural staff, training of the staff for a period of about

4 weeks, two weeks of which would be in Minya where a succPssful

extension system is operational, and orqanization of a biweekly

training sessions at the project site.

13. The mission recommends extPnrlinq an invitation to Dr. Taha Abdul

Ghaffar (consultant at IFAD financed Minya Aqricultural

Development Project) to visit the project arPa for a oeri0d of

3-5 days and advise the project authnritiPs on the ornanizatinn

of extension ~ctivities.

FARM DEVELOPMENT

14. ProjPct farmers arp qrowinq a variety of crops, as Pnvisa~Prl fnr

the project. The crops bPinq mainly bersPPm and winter SPPd

lequmes (peas, broad beans). In arldition onion, potato, r.prpals

(wheat & barPly) are bpinq qrown surr.essfully. Input supplips

(seed & fert.) are availablP and distributPd presently on a cash

and carry basis by the cooperatives throuqh the aqricultural

officer stationed at the villaqe site (Phase I) until such time

the cooperation can supply these inputs on credit basis.

Quantities of fertilizprs are determined on the basis of areas

and kinds of crops qrown.

EXPERIMENTAL/DEMONSTRATION FARM

15. Objectives and activities envisaged for this farm (42 fed) are

yet to be rPalized. The mission would like this farm to becomP

a center for demonstrating better aqricultural practicies

(especially irriqation and mPchannization), introducinq new crop

varieties not found at the project site (new oil & forage crops)

and introducinq improverl varitiPS of crops alrPady under

cultivation at the project site.

16. The mission furNler recommPnds that part of thP ExpPrimental

Farm be assiqned to the production of sPedlinqs for use as

windbreaks in the project area. OuP to thp climatic naturP nf

the area, it is npcessary that action is initiatPd immediately

towards the supply of windbreak needs of the project farms as

soon as possihlP.

17. Since so far thp collector drains havP not bPen installPrl, it

would he rliffir11lt to SPt up meaninqful trials ;ind dpmnnstratinn

plots without prior lPar.hina and reclamation. ThP mission

rPcommPndPd ;ind GARPAD aqrPPd that Akariya CompAny hP requpstprl

to install the collPctor drains as soon as possible, in timP for

irnplPmPntation of a comprPhPnsivP proqr;:im durinq 1988/198Q

wintpr sPa<;on.

..... ·,--

18. EncroachmPnt rontinuPS to bP a problPm. GARPAD is awaitinq

final action to be exPcutPd throuqh thP AlPxanrlria Govprnorship

for the eviction of unlawful settlers in the projpct area.

Eviction orders havP already ~Pen issued by the local

authorities.

PROCUREMENT

Agricultural Machinery

19. There has bPen some delays in thP procurement of the

aqricultural machinery already clearned by thP Bank, due to

objection raised in the Ministry of Economic on the import of

such machinery.

20. One further development is that thp Minstry of Agriculture & Land Reclamation has set up a machinery rentinq service on the

project site for the benefit of project and adjacent farmers.

In . addition GARPAD has at its disposal about 50 tractors and

attachmPnt which it can distribute to aqricultural cooperatives

which would be rented on terms and conditions aqrPed upon

between GARPAD and PBDAC. This aqrePment stipulatP that GARPAD

rlistrihutes the machine to thP cooperatives, while PBDAC

arranqes for the cost recovery and addition of 11% interest. 3%

of which would bP its service charqP.

21. In vipw of ahovP GARPAD now wi~hPs to cancel thp procurPment of _)

the 100 tractors and attchmpnts it had rPquestPd Parlipr, ~ mission advisPrl GARPAD to take action in accnrance with Para

2.30 and Para J.27 of SPction II (Instruction to Bidders) and

SPction III (General and SoPcial Conditions) of the Bid

DocumP.nts.

LIVESTOCK

22. GARPAD further withdraws its request for the procurement of

livestock to project farmers since sufficiPnt fund is not

available under the projPct. On thP othpr hand each project

farmer now has onP or two hPads of cattlP/and or sheep and

GARPAO's involvement in the procurement of livestock would not

be required.

DISBURSEMENT

23. GARPAO has requPsted by its telex of March 13, 1988, to increase

the dollar portion of the BPheira Company from its present 31.5%

to 40%. Furthermore it has rPquested that the Chinese Company

be qiven an advance of $1.6 M aqainst a letter of guaranteP.

since it is encounterinq difficulties in recruiting sufficient

labour to exoedite the onqoinq construction work.

24. In this connection the GARPAD will submit to IDA for approval an

amendment to the construction contract with BPheira Company

providinq for (a) such advance paymPnt to the Contractor aqainst

a Bank Guarantee and (b) the orncerlurP for rpcnvery of the

advance including SPrvice charqe GARPAD is payinQ for the amount

disbursed.

25. In view of the fact that project components are in an advanced

staqe of implementation and the final costs are now known more

precisely, GARPAD has requested rPallocation of Credit to

various cateanriPs in SchPdule 1 of thP Develnpment Credit

Aqreement as follnws:

Category Total Original New % Disbursed Allocation Proposed Disbursement

l. Civil Works la Industrial Works 7. 778 7.240 8.000 40% lb Other Works 29.905 30.800 35.500

2. Goods, Eq. .821 1.990 1.890 100% of foreign expenditures, 100% of local expenditures ex-factory and 75% o f local expenditures.

TOTAL 52.461 60.900 60.900

The above proposal will be reviewed by the mission on return to the headquarters and an appropriate response to GARPAD will be sent in due course.

26. GARPAD is requesting extension of the project closing date by one year, i.e., to December 1989. The mission suggested that such a request (with justification) be sent t o [ DA through the Ministry of Planning & International Cooperation which then will be reviewed and appropriate action taken.

THE WORLD BANK ; INTERNATIONAL FINANCE CORPORATION

OFFICE M.EMORANDUM

DATE: May 4, 1988

TO: Mr. Jamal A. Fuad, EMTAG .f',;y'&

FROM: Aly Abu-Akeel, LEGEM

EXTENSION: 74707

SUBJECT: GARPAD's Telex of May 2

I would agree to send a telex to GARPAD approving both requests. The exchange rate applicable to the increase in disbursement percentage should be the same as the one applicable to the original percentage. As you know, we transfer the foreign currency amount required to pay the amount of Egyptian pounds eligible for financing through the Central Bank and at the rate it specifies for the transaction. Whether the Central Bank would make the foreign exchange available to the particular entity (GARPAD) or only release to it the LE equivalent, is a matter that does not concern us. Of course, we may require that a certain rate of exchange be used for purposes of disbursement against local expenditures, but the present contract is not the appropriate vehicle to accomplish this. In any event, since the increase in disbursement percentage would be justified by its consistency with the foreign exchange component _of works, to require that such increase be made available at an exchange rate much higher than that approved for the transaction would only raise the issue of adjusting the contract price due to the depreciation of the local currency in which such price is legally payable. I do not think we want to raise these issues is the context of this contract. Therefore, I would (a) agree to raise the disbursement percentage, which would continue to be made at the rate specified for the transaction by the Central Bank; and (b) leave it to the Egyptian authorities to make, at their applicable exchange rate, all or part of amounts withdrawn from the loan available to the contractor in foreign currency against the price of the contract.

I understand that GARPAD's desire not to charge interest on the advance to the Chinese company is justified by the need to make contractual adjustment, i.e. there were delays in making payments to the company for which interest, and possibly penalties, were not paid. I have no problem with GARPAD's position.

REQUESTS OF BEHERA COMPANY, AND CHINESE COMPANY INTRUSTED WITH THE EXECUTION OF PHASE TWO OF WEST NOUBARIYA PROJECT AGREEMENT 1083 EGT, KINDLY NOTE: 1. BEHERA COMPANY REQUEST WAS FORWARD TO GARPAD DECIDING COMM

ITTEE WHICH APPROVED THE REQUEST ON THE GROUND THAT BEHERA UAS ENTITELED TO 40 OF THE TOTAL SUM OF ITS OFFER IN FOREIGN CURRANCY. FURTHERMORE SUCH INCREASE IS FOR THE BENEFIT OF GARPAD SINCE WITH SUCH INCREASE CONSTRUCTION WILL BE COMPLETED AHEAD OF SCHEDULE MOREOVER THE DECIDING COMMITTEE AG-

z2. REED THAT SUCH INCREASE. SHOULD BE CALCULATED USING THE RATE ·OF EXCHANGE INCLUEDED IN BEHERA OFFER NAMELY 0.84 L.E FOR ONE DOLLAR SO THAT PRIORITY OF SELECTION WILL NOT BE AFFECTED. CHINESE COMPANY REQUEST TO RECEIVE 1.6 MILLION DOLLARS IN ADVANCE AGAINEST LETTER OF GUARDNTEE WHICH WAS APPROVED BY BANK PROVIDED THAT CHINESE COMPANY PAY INTEST,WAS ALSO DISCUSSED BY GARPAD ACCOUNTENTS WHO AGREED THAT CHINESE COMPANY SHOULD NOT PAY INTREST ON THIS SUM BECAUSE:

A> GARPAD DID NOT PAY THE ORIGINAL ADVANCE PAYMENT TO CHINESE COMPANY ON TIME WHICH FORCED THE COMPANY TO RECRUTE LABOURERS USING ITS OWN RESOURSES.

B) GARPAD WAS DELAYED FOR ALMOST ONE YEAR TO PAY LABOURER UAGES WHICH FORCED THE COMPANY TO COVER THE COST WITHOUT CLAIMING INTEREST FROM GARPAD.

C) CHINESE COMPANY WILL FINISH THEIR COMMITMENT BY END OF 1988 WHICH MEANS THAT THIS PAYMENT WILL BE USED BY COMPANY WITHOUT INTEST FOR ONLY 6 MONTHES TO COMPENSATE COMPANY LOSSES IN (A) AND (B) ABOVE. PLEASE REVIEW WITH CONSIDERATION AND APPROVE THE FOLLOWINGS:

A) INCREASE THE FOREIGN CURRANCY COMPONENT OF REHERA COMPANY FROM 31.5 TO 40 USING THE SAME~ATE OF EXCHANGE SPECIFIED IN CONTRACT NAMELY L.E.084 FOR ONE DOLLAR.

B) PAY CHINESE COMPANY AN ADVANCE PAYMENT OF 1.6 MILLION DOLLARE. AGAINST A LETTER OF GUARANTEE FROM A BANK ACCEPTED BY GARPAD WITHOUT CHARGING ANY INTEREST FROM COMPANY.

SUCH PROCEDURE WOULD FACILITATE PAYMENT OF CHINESE LABOURER WAGES PRIOR TO THIER DEPARTURE FROM CHINA AND HENCE INDUCE LABOURERS TO LEAVE AND WORK ON THE PROJECT, WHICH THEN COULD BE COMPLETED AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.

EGYPT: West Beheira Settlement Project (IFAD Ln. 54-EG) and New Lands Development Project (Cr. 1083-EGT) BACK-TO-OFFICE REPORT

1. In accordance with the terms of reference dated October 21, 1987, I visited the above projects on December 5-6, 1987 as a follow up to the supervision mission by Messrs. Fuad and van Tuijl. Copies of the aide-memoire for the two projects, prepared by the mission, were received by me in Cairo. My visits were aimed primarily at familiarizing myself with the projects and getting acquainted with the implementing agencies. In addition, I reviewed the proposal of the Ministry of Irrigation (MOI) concerning the source· of water for irrigation of the additional 1,000 feadans (extension area) of the West Beheira Settlement Project. My findings and reconunendations on this issue and other aspects of the projects are given below.

Water Source for the Extension Area

2. MOI has proposed that irrigation wat e r for the extension area should be diverted from the Nasr canal through an existing canal downstream of the link canal instead of the link canal itself, which brings water to the main project area. The reasoning given by MOI to support the proposal is that: (a) the link canal cannot carry all water needed for the extension area and (b) instead of widening the link canal to handle irrigation supplies for the extension area, an existing downstream canal which has the built-in capacity for irrigating the extension area should be extended beyond the Desert Highway to connect to the project irrigation system.

3. The estimate of cost for extension of the downstream canal by siphoning it under the highway is about Egyptian Pounds (LE) 0.5 million. It would take a period of about eight months to complete the construction after the award of the contract. MOI proposes the contract to be awarded through LCB procedures and expects the processing period to be about four months after the decision has been made to go ahead with the proposed extension of the canal.

4. The Project Administrative Unit (PAU) has no data to substantiate MOI's claim that the existing link canal does not have capacity to carry additional water for the extension area. Considering the large freeboard as existed at the time of my visit, the canal could take substantially more discharge than needed for irrigation of the project area and perhaps could handle as well the irrigation supplies needed for the additional area. However, the limiting factor could be the water surface level in the Nasr canal to pass the additional water into the link canal during periods of maximum demand. This needs to be studied by the project consultants.

5. Based on the foregoing, my recommendations are as follows:

(a) The extension area has development potential similar to the main project area and, therefore, should be included in the development plan under the ongoing project by providing the needed irrigation facility.

(b) The project consultants should carry out detailed study of irrig.ation demand over an annual cycle in the Nasr canal and the project area including discharges in the distribution system, water surface elevations and profiles. This study would provide information on the periods, if any, when diversion of the desired irrigation flows in the project link canal would not be possible. Without this information, a technically viable solution cannot be found.

(c) Should the study in (b) above prove that the water surface level in the Nasr canal and the existing freeboard in the project link canal do not allow diversion and conveyance of the needed irrigation flows to the extension area over the entire irrigation cycle, the Bank should agree to the extension of the downstream canal and the construction of siphon crossing under the Desert Highway out of the project funds. Of course in that case, the Government will have to act speedily to complete these additional works prior to the current closing date of December 31, 1988.

(d) A draft telex to the Ministry of Agriculture of Egypt on the above lines is attached for approval.

6. Other Findings

l 2 9 8 C

(a) Quality of Construction: The quality of concrete work on lining of canals in both the projects, especially form work and curing, are below the international standards. However, I have learned that the projects have recently succeeded in tightening the quality controls

I 2 3 8 C

-3-

and the standard of work is steadily improving. These aspects should be reviewed during the next supervision mission.

(b) Project Management: The project management teams for the two projects are fully qualified and competent to carry out project implementation effectively. The disbursements from the !FAD loan for the West Beheira project were, however, reported to be slow. I would suggest that w~ should explore the possibility, with !FAD and the Government of Egypt, for the establishment of a Special Account for the project to overcome this problem.

1. Reclamation of 24,000 fed. of desert land including irrigation and drainage works and extension of Nasr Canal. 2. Settlement of 4,000 small holders in 20 villages, with provision of infrastructure, social services and housing. 3. Provision of farm machinery and equipment, and repair facilities. 4. Establishment of a training farm and continuation of field trials; provision of training fellowships. 5. Bilharzia control in Middle and Upper Egypt, and extension of control measures to Giza Governorate and project area.

SECTION 3: PROJECT STATUS. SUMMARIZE CURRENT STATUS OF IMPLEMENTATION. IDENTIFY MAJOR PROBLEMS.

1. Substantial improvement has occurred in proj. impl.; proj mgt. has improved considerably. 2. Phase I of the proj. is abt. 90% complete. Tile drain opr. is ongoing but the lateral drain opr. awaits arrival of specialized machinery ordered. Remedial work has been started and is abt. 30% completed. This phase would be completed by the end of current year, except for the field drain which would take another yr-and-a-half. Phase II, village constr., is of excellent quality; tertiary canal constr. is also great improvement over Phase I. Quality of precast units is poor; encroachers are still occupying abt. 400 fed of proj. area; irrigation practices need improvement. 3. Abt. 1069 farm families have been settled on 6408 fed. Agr. production has been on the rise and exceeds appr estimates. However, Beduin farmers need much help to improve their agr. practices. 4. Bank has approved procurement of agr. machinery which GARPAD wishes to distribute to cooperatives which would then be hired out to farmers.

~ECTION 4: ACTION TAKEN. SUMMARIZE CURRENT ACTIONS TAKEN OR AGREED TO BE TAKEN WITH BORROWER TO ADDRESS MAJOR PROBLEMS.

1. The mission requested GARPAD to take action to improve precast units of Phase II; to continue remedial works needed and to remove encroachers and to assign needed engineers to control water distribution. 2. The mission requested organization of adequate extension system to help project farmers. Guidelines for such an organization was submitted to project management for implementation. The mission requested the appointment of needed extension staff and subject matter specialists to carry out the extension programs needed. 3. GARPAD was also requested to set up the workshops not later than September 1, 1988. 4. The mission submitted a working paper to GARPAD on the utilization of the experimental farm and requested that it review this paper and inform us of actions that GARPAD would take to implement ideas included therein.

SECTION 5: ACTION PROPOSED. SUMMARIZE FURTHER ACTIONS REQUIRED. INCLUDE AGENDA FOR NEXT MISSION (MO/YR) (04/88)

I PIR REVIEW: (ASST. DIR/DIR/RVP)

EGYPT ARAB REPUBLIC ,


GARPAD

NEW LAND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT (CR. 1083-EGT)

' Aide Memoire

INTRODUCTION

Attachment 1 Page 1 of 11

1. A mission composed of Messers. Jamal Fuad, and Willem Van Tuijl,

visited Egypt during the period of Nov. 20 through Dec. 2, 1987,

to review, inter alia, progress achieved in the overall

implementation of project components of phases I & II of the New

Land Development project (Cr. 1083-EGT). The mission visited

the project site and discussed with project staff and project

farmers various aspects of project implementati on and levels of crop production on farmer fields. (l)

2. The overall impression developed by the mission during this

visit is that GARPAD has made a sincere effort to improve

project implementation activities and that crop production

levels on farmers fields is impressive even at this early stage

of settlement period.

3. There are about 1069 settler occupying about 6408 feddans of

phase I of the project area, ~epresenting 89% of the area.

New settlers receive every three months, and for a period of 3

years, 175kg rice, 4 1/2kg sugar, 1kg tea, 33 cans of lunch meat

and 10 liters of vegetable oil. In addition they also receive

LE. 45/month for a period of 6 months.

(1) (Any decisions made or agreements reached in this aide niemoi re between the mission and GARPAD is subject to concurrence of the Division Chief concerned).

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

4. The mission is pleased to note that the Project Unit has '


undergone a complete overhaul, with a new Project manager and

engineering and agricultural staff, most of whom now live on the

project premises. The mission noted a new feeling of enthusiasm

and dedication which has been long in the waiting. In addition

to the project manager, new section heads and staff have been

appointed to carry out community development and agricultural activities, one per village for each category (total of 7

villages - phase I). The project manager has been given a

budget and financial authorization to properly implement project

needs. In addition a list of other staff needs has been

prepared for appointment. GARPAD agreed to fill the existing

vacancies as soon as possible.

CONSTRUCTION

5. Phase I (7,000 fd). The mission is pleased to note that

completion of Phase I can now be completed before the end of

1987, except for the remedial (see below) and the drainage

works. The latter may still take 1-1 1/2 years to complete.

However, the drainage works have now at least started with the

two tile drainage machines procured for the project; the

collector drainage machine is on the way.

6. Phase I Remedial Works. The mission is pleased to note that

mutual agreement had been reached between GARPAD, Akarya and

Halcrow - ULG on the extent of the remedial works, which are now

in execution in an orderly manner. About 80% has been completed

on PC 1 & 2 and about 30% overall; the works are expected to be

completed before January 31, 1988.

7. Phase II (17,000 fd). Construction is generally proceeding

satisfactory. Village construction is of excellent quality, and

tertiary canal construction is a great improvement over Phase

I. Also the design of the farmers' offtakes (precast units) is


an improvement over Phase I. However, the quality of

construction of the precast units needs much improvement. It is

understood that the matter will be taken up with the Chairman of

Beheira Co. Villages 13, 15 and 16 are already completed and

there seems little doubt that area 11A11 (5,800 fd) would be ready

for settlement and cultivation for the 1988 summer crop. Area 11 811 (6,250 fd) may be finished in about one year, while area 11 C11

may not be completed before December 1989. The Regional Drain

is about 40% complete and may be ready by December 1988.

SYSTEM OPERATION

8. System operation needs considerable improvement. It is

recognized that the main problem is at present with the

operation of the Nasr Canal: water levels upstream of P.S. No. 5 have at times been too low and pumping from P.S. No. 5 to the

upper reach of the Nasr Canal has been erratic due to the large

pumping capacity compared with the relatively low demand; in

addition the head gates of the primary project canals do not

fully close. The situation is expected to improve in future

with the construction of two additional regulators on the Nasr

Canal and the implementation of the Nasr Canal control system. ' It is also understood that agreements have already been reached

that MOI will {i) station a gate operator for the project's

primary canals, and (ii) either repair or replace the project's

head gates. GARPAD agreed that the Policy Coordinating

Committee would be reactivated and that the above mentioned

problems would be discussed with MOI. The mission stressed that

the arrangements with MOI should include an agreement on the

preparation and maintenance of firm water delivery schedules (by

day and specified hours of flow) for the project area. These

schedules would have to be prepared by the project staff on the

basis of actual cropping patterhs, water requirements and system

operating characteristics and should also be agreed upon with

the farmers.


9. The mission also noted poor canal operation within the project

area. A random check of three tertiary canals revealed

considerable tail end losses. This is due to the absence of a

firm water delivery schedule. The mission recommends the

following measures: (i) that the number of operating engineers

for Phase I be increased from one to two and staff reside at the

site and work in shifts as necessary; (ii) that the project be

operated in accordance with its design i.e. 24 hours at peak ·

demand and less hours in winter when, if needed, a one week

on/one week off rotation could be followed; (iii) that the

irrigation schedules be discussed with the farmers and posted in

the villages at least one week in advance; (iv) that farmer's

training sessions be organized immediately following settlement.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

10. Community development section has been very active in extending

support to farmers. In addition to the food supplement and farm

inputs (fert. & seed) it distributes to new settlers, the

section has helped in the establishment of 7 cooperatives, one

for each of phase I villages. Furthermore, it is carrying out a

handicraft training program for settlers female population in

which sewing, knitting ana other handicraft is being taught. At

present there are 25 women attending the training offered.

11. There are 2 primary schools already operating; two others are

being prepared for operation; a further two are being finished

and one is under construction.

12. One main health clinic is already functioning with a physician

permanently on site. Six other clinics have been finished and

the Ministry of Health has been approached to staff them. The

building for the Police has been finished and it is expected

that a police unit wil.l arrive on the project site by end of

December, 1987.

AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT

13. Project land prQductivity has peen on the rise since firs t ~rbpping, , for areas being crapped for 3 or 4 seasons, productivity ras practically APµbled. Present l evel of + • ' t

NEW LAND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT (Cr.•-1083-EGT)

Utilization of the Experimental Farm*

ANNEX 2 Page 1 of 3

J. GARPAD has allocated 42 feddans of land on the project site

(Villaqe No. 3 Proper), for experimental and training activities and to guide project farmers in adopting new and improved

technoloqies for the purpose of raising agricultural production as much as possible.

?. The question now raised is: how this Farm can best serve project farmers and what type of activities should be carried out which

would suit best the project area?

3. At the outset, it should be pointed out that the Experimental Farm should not duplicate trials which are now the

responsibility of the various agricultural research stations carried out under the umbrella of the Agricultural Research

Center. Hence emohasis on the Farm would of necessity be of an

adoptive nature carried out to confirm results already available

at the Research stations in the country, especially those stations which are located within the same climatic and soil niche of the project area.

4. Hence, if we apply this criteria the only

*

activities on the experimental farm would be verification trials

carried out under simulated farming conditions, in large blocks,

to ascertain results already at hand. At present a wide gap

exists between results obtained on the research stations for certain technologies and those obtained under normal farming

conditions applyinq the same technologies. Therefore the

Experimental Farm will carry the new technologies one step

further hefore they are applied on farmers' fields.

A workinq paper presented by the World Bank mission visiting Eqypt Nov. 20 throuqh Dec. ?, 1987.

.ANNEX 2 page 2 of 3

~. Another line of study will be economic in nature evaluating certain farmina systems which will benefit project farmers hest. Suhstitution of certain crops and evaluation of different

systems on the basis of labor and machine availability, in addition to WP.iqh/'ing advantages of certain farming systems includinq studies on livestock nutrition and management.

~~ 6. A further study .w+l1 be the possible substitution of Berseem

7.

with another foraqe crop less demanding of irrigation water. Perhap~ it would be advantageous to devote an area on the Farm

to perennial foraqe crop which will have sufficient productivity and of a ouality suitable for use as livestock feed . A ser1ons

t.,,r/._Le('_ - •

look into this matter w.,-:tl be considered of high value and prioritv.

Since suqar beet would become a major crop in the project area

in the near future due to construction of the proposed Nubariya Suoar Beet Factory, it would be relevant to expand sugar beet

studies on the Experimental Farm to qain information on various manaaement aspects of this crop including irrigation requirement

and full mechanization of its culture.

~. The Farm would also be used for producing seedlings of certain veqetables (tomatoes, peppers, onions, cabbages, etc.) for use

on the demonstration farms to be set-up by the extension staff ·on farmers' fields. This would have two objectives: one of this would be the production of healthy seedlings and the other

the introduction and familiarization of newly selected or

developed varieties to project farmers.

~. The Experimental Farm would also pioneer in the introduction of certain irriqation methodology such as drip, sprinkler or bubble

irriqation systems, in addition to traininq of farmers in applyinq a more efficient surface irriqation and in the preparation of the field which would allow for more adequate water distribution.

I

ANNEX 2 Page 3 of 3

·10. Mechanization is already widely practiced in the project area. Hence the Experimental Farm would help in the traihing of

pro,iect farmers to better utilize farm machinery, especially what is related to land leveling, depth of plowing, and furrowino widths as required for various crops.

11. Th~ Farm would also be a traininq ground for the Village

Extension Agents (VEA's) and project Subject Matter Specialists (SMS), who would be guided by senior visiting research scientists under whose auspices the above activities will be carried out.

1?. The PAU would make full use of local expertise available at

Mariot International Center, the University of Alexandria, the

Desert Institute of the MOALR and the Desert Development Center at the American University of Cairo. A Supervisory Committee

will be set-up to draw-up the plans as outlined above which will be executed by pro.iect subject matter specialists who would be

assiqned permanently at the pro,iect site.

13. GARPAD would study the above recommendations and draw up a

plan for the utilization of the Experimental Farm which can best serve the pro.iect farmers as soon as possible, making use of the ideas outlined above.

1. The Government of Egypt has requested the extension of the closing date of the referenced project for three years, i.e., until December 31, 1990 (the attached telex refers). This memorandum requests extension of the closing date by one year and to consider a further extension of one more year under certain conditions (see para. 9 below).

2. The major components of the project are construction of 20 villages with provision for infrastructure, social services, production and administration facilities, housing for small land holders and project staff and settlement of 4,000 landless farmers on 24,000 feddans of reclaimed land having irrigation and drainage facilities.

3. Phase I of the project, 7,400 feddans, has been 90% completed, where about 1,100 farm families have been settled. However, the field drains of this phase have been installed only partially, for which specialized machinery has been ordered. Furthermore, the Akariya Company which was charged with the execution of the work program faced chronic managerial and financial problems which added to an already difficult assignment.

4. The supervision mission which visited the project in April 1987, found that village construction in Phase II of the project was progressing satisfactorily while land reclamation activities were lagging behind. Also, the remedial works needed in Phase I of the project was still outstanding. The mission then recorrunended that the extension of the closing date be conditional on sat i sfactory progress with the remedial works and strengthening of the project unit.

- 2 -

5. The supervision mission just returned from the field (November 20 through December 3, 1987) found substantial progress in project implementation and action taken in the reorganization of the project unit which was completely overhauled, with a new manager and section heads, all of whom reside at the project site. Furthermore, the mission noted with satisfaction the mutual agreement reached between GARPAD, Akariya and Halcrow-ULG on the extent of the remedial works which are being executed in an orderly manner. About 80% of this work has been completed for areas under PC 1 and PC 2, and about 30% overall. The mission was assured that all works would be completed by January 31, 1988.

6. In addition, the mission has agreed on an action plan with the Project Administration Unit to appoint the needed extension supervisor and project engineer by January 31, 1988, and the SMS' by July 1988. GARPAD would also submit a timetable for settlement activities, training programs, and utilization of the experimental farm by March 1988. An agreement on the distribution of tractors with PBDAC would be forwarded to IDA no later than April 1988.

7. The mission was also pleased to note that Phase I can now be completed before the end of 1987 (except for the field drains which is ongoing), and that area (a) under Phase II would be ready for settlement and cultivation for the 1988 summer cropping season. Area (b) would be ready about a year from this date, while area (c) would be ready by the end of 1989. The regional drain is about 40% completed and would be ready by December 1989.

8. There is no covenant in default related to this credit. The reconunended extension of IDA credit would be the first postponement.

9. In view of the above, and based on the Government's request, I

n ~ ~ e~ reconunend that you approve the extension of the credit for one year to

December 31, 1988, and that another extension of one more year would be considered conditional on the implementation of the action program agreed upon/ ' ,;;\Q. and on the setting up of an efficient extension organization, complete with ' \ I subject matter specialists and extension staff in line with the T & V system of extension methodology promoted by the Bank. In addition, GARPAD would take specific measures to improve the distribution of irrigation water in the primary and secondary canals.

10. If you agree, please sign the attached telex. ~
