Irrigation management transfer (IMT) refers to the transfer of authority and responsibility in the management of irrigation system units from public agencies into private-sector enterprises, such as water users associations (WUA) or local administrative units.

The objective of this study is to compare the performance of irrigation schemes before and after being turned over to WUAs. Accordingly, in this study a number of physical, economic and institutional indicators are evaluated. Physical performance is assessed from irrigation rate figures, the sustainability of the irrigation area and the actual water supply; economic performance is assessed based on the efficiency of the collection of water fees and the level of financial self-sufficiency; and institutional performance is evaluated in terms of staff intensity. In addition to this, an equivalent statistical technique was used to determine whether there were significant time-dependent changes in performance values from the period before (1987–1994) and after (1995–2004) the hand-over of responsibility. All data related to performance was garnered … |
