PPIAF Supports Private Sector Participation in Egypt's West Delta Irrigation Project

In 2004, PPIAF funded a study on private sector participation in Egypt’s irrigation sector and a second grant in 2006 to help develop a conceptual framework and transaction model for implementing a surface water irrigation system, the West Delta Irrigation Project, which led to the creation of a representative advisory group of farmers and the development of the technical design, financing alternatives, and tariffs.
