The Ministry of Agriculture has established the steering committee which is expected to convene in July 2019 and completed the selection of key staff for the project management unit (UGO) whose formal establishment is still pending decree publication. In the meantime, the project has made progress on engineering design studies financed by the national budget with quality control and support funded by a Quality Investment in Infrastructure (QII) grant from Government of Japan. This grant also financed a technical assistance to provide institutional support to the ministry of agriculture for the setting up of the new irrigation management structure, including the establishment of a 7/13/2019 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Tunisia Irrigated Agriculture Intensification Project (P160245) dedicated operator as a public company, the settling of the farmers and Groupement de Développement Agricole (GDA) debts, and the definition of the new tariff structure and contractual terms of service. The project is also in the process of selecting technical assistance consulting firms to provide institutional support to the Ministry, to undertake irrigation work design and supervision, and to implement the agricultural development part of the Project. A first communication campaign has been successfully carried out to raise awareness of regional stakeholders about project design and approach. Initial analytical work is been conducted with the Task Force on Value Chains and Clusters Development on potential high value products to be targeted by the Project.
