Memon Y. | Talpur M. | Murray Rust H.
Through the newly established institutions in irrigation sector, FOs can play their role as major stakeholders in the operation and maintenance of the irrigation and drianage system. Thus the target of the Farmer Managed Irrigated Agriculture (FMIA) project was the establishment of the institutions and provision of external support for strengthening the newborn institutions. The capacity building program was initiated after the formation of FOs on distributaries/minors. Due to the lack of involvement in management, the farmers in Pakistan are less informed about water resources and their management. The governmental management pattern and the societies structure also kept farmers away from water resources management in the socio-economic environment, the task envisaged for FOs is unattainable until an intensive capacity building program is organized. Job analysis of the FOc was the key of this capacity building program.
