In Egypt, the National Irrigation Improvement Program which is at present time emerging from the pilot scale to the national level has taken participatory Irrigation Management into account through the formation of Water User's Associations and the Irrigation Advisory Services. Of particular importance at the secondary and tertiary level are the measure taken for a bottom-up approach to water user group formation and an extensive training program for farmers and Irrigation Advisory Services staff. These two packages are seen as complementing the process of farmers participation currently in progress under the National Irrigation Improvement Program. This paper highlights Egyptian experience in Participatory Irrigation Management and goes on to discuss the state of the art and constraints for the improvement of capacity building with special emphasis on the role on training.
