Letters confirming these associations are reproduced in Appendix A. We are very keen to work with you on this project and, if you require clarification of our submission on any point, we are available at your convenience. We believe that our group is ideally suited to undertake this assignment. We have a very clear understanding of the objectives of the study and a good appreciation of the conditions and development issues involved in the project area. We have also recently carried out the water balance of Lake Tana during our recently-completed 80,000 ha net feasibility studies (referred to later). Halcrow has a proven track record in planning, studying, designing and supervising the implementation of irrigation, drainage and rural development projects worldwide over the past 35 years. We also offer a very well qualified team of international consultants including all the key staff that were engaged on the 80,000 ha project. Halcrow has undertaken many similar feasibility studies worldwide, a number of which have been in the past ten years, including Eastern Lowlands Development (Eritrea), Marala Ravi (Pakistan), Kabulnan (Philippines), Irrigation Reform (Romania), Madibira (Tanzania), Trujillo (Venezuela) and Yemen Irrigation (Yemen). Halcrow has undertaken a large number of projects in Ethiopia including the Amibara Irrigation Project (1980 s), Masterplans for Water Resources of the Awash Basin and Integrated Resources of the Rift Valley Basin, the Awash Basin Flood Control and Watershed Management Project including feasibility studies tw>«d offer Ctol Houm, 43 Brook Gr^n.

Generation Integrated Development Consultants (GIRDC) is a privately owned company which has undertaken many consultancy assignments and development projects in land and water resources development, including irrigation and drainage. GIRDC is a rapidly growing company with a wide client base including Government, international organisations, NGO's and the private sector. Regarding the latter and of particular relevance to this study, GIRDC recently undertook a private consultancy commission to look at the feasibility of investment in agricultural development in the Upper Beles area. The technical strength of GIRDC, their detailed knowledge and familiarity with organisational structures and protocols will bring particular advantages to our Group. Halcrow and GIRDC have already forged an effective working relationship on the Rift Valley Lakes Basin Integrated Resources Development Master Plan Study and we have together successfully recently completed the Feasibility Studies of about 80,000 ha net Irrigation and Drainage Schemes in the World Bank financed Ethiopian Nile Irrigation and Drainage Project. A key feature of this latter work was the provision of a digital elevation model DEM and ortho-rectified image layers of the project area, in addition to contoured mapping at 0.5m intervals, derived from state-of-the-art panchromatic stereoscopic satellite imagery. At the time of writing, all the key staff on the 80,000 ha project have confirmed their interest in working on the Lower Beles project. NIRAS Group A/S have a strong regional presence, have been working in Ethiopia continuously for the past 28 years, and have an office in Addis Ababa. They have worked with the Ministry of Agriculture on several projects and have recently completed the Sida Amhara Rural Development project. They are currently implementing the M&E and MIS system for Tana Beles watershed management (in partnership with GIRDC), the Responsible Land Management and Administration project (national, Amhara region and Beninshangul Gumuz), as well as a water and sanitation programme in Beninshangul Gumuz and the Feasibility Study for Gondar Town water supply. They have carried out several short term assignments in the Amhara Region in agriculture and marketing including the Programme Planning of the Euro 22M project Agribusiness Induced Growth (Agro BIG) (MFA Finland) and a value chain analysis of oilseeds and pulses (World Bank)). They have just been granted the organisation of an international agri-business and trade seminar in Addis in February 2012. Letters of reference from the Ministry are reproduced in Appendix B. Halcrow is committed to capacity building through strong professional links with national consultants and government staff and because of this we would anticipate once again using state-of-the-art digital stereoscopic satellite imagery for topographic surveys and cutting-edge software for water resources planning and allocation. Halcrow is also committed to a strict code of Business Ethics which we know is in harmony with the principles of the Ministry of Water & Energy.Feasibility Study for Irrigated Agricultural and Marketing Development in Lower Beles Basin Tana and Beles Integrated Water Resource Development Project Consulting Services The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia: Ministry of Water and Energy September 2011 Halcnjw Group Limited Burderop Park, Swindon, Witshire SN4 OOD tel 01793 812479 fax 01793 812089 halcrow.com Halcrow Group limited has prepared this report in accordance with tho instructions ol ebent Tho Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia : Ministry of Water and Energy for tho cbenl s solo and speefeuso.

We also appreciate how this project would fit into the overall strategy of the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) for the development of the Tana-Beles basin. We have provided a very brief summary of this understanding in the following two sections. 11..11..11 Tana-Beles Integrated Water Resources Development Project (TBIWRDP) The Irrigated Agricultural and Marketing Development Project in the Lower Beles Basin is a part of the overall Tana & Beles Integrated Water Resources Development Project. This strategic, over-arching project • Has as its goal the acceleration of sustainable growth. • Has as its objective the adoption of an integrated approach to planning, development and management of the Tana and Beles Sub-basin; and • ft seeks to achieve this goal and objective through (i) the development effective enabling institutions, and (ii) the preparation of a pipeline of projects 11..11..22 TBIWRDP will create the necessary enabling institutions through components such as the creation of an integrated water resources information system, and the provision of capacity-building in the fields of water resources planning and management The project aims to facilitate growth-oriented investment, and these institutional components will thus provide the foundation to identify the needs and opportunities for investment in a whole series of programmes and projects aimed at natural resources development. One such potentially important investment project is the Lower Beles agricultural development project. Irrigated Agricultural and Marketing Development Project in Lower Beles The Masterplan for development of the land and water resources of the Abbay Basin identified numerous potential projects on the basis that irrigation would take place on a gradual scale, requiring flexibility in both planning and design concepts. It presented potential projects by sub-basin, and included those projects which had already been studied at a prefeasibility or feasibility level of detail. It also recommended additional projects for which prefeasibility level studies would be required. The Lower Beles project falls into this latter category. It lies in the west -central lowlands of the Abbay basin in Benishangul and Metekel Administrative Region and Zone. The Masterplan provided a high-level assessment of the development potential of the Lower Beles area, and suggested that several key features would need to be considered during pre- and full-feasibility study. Doeno. Version Dale:September2011 rrojccicwlc: Filename. LmverBelwVOl.v 1_______ Feasibility Study lor Irrigated Agricultural and Marketing Development In Lower Boles Basin Expression of Interest To provide an overview of the area, the features and their implications reported by the Masterplan study are briefly summarised below. They will of course require thorough consideration and evaluation during pre- and full-feasibility studies. • Land is in the altitude range 700-900 masl with slopes that arc apparently level to undulating (5%) benefiting effective irrigation and land management • Arable soils are possibly "red" Nitisols indicating the need for erosion control to avoid loss of fertility • The potential for tsetse infestation would indicate the need for development by commercial mechanised agriculture • National parks apparently do not infringe on this area which would simplify environmental considerations Population densities are apparently low with restricted access indicating the possible suitability of mechanised development and primary processing, and the need for communications development 1.2 Objectives and Scope of the Lower Beles Project Study The Beles Sub-basin Organisation (BeSBO) is seeking consultants with the objective to assist them in a two-stage approach to assess and prepare the Lower Beles Project. That is: Firstly, to undertake a comprehensive review of the project at a prefcasibility level of detail. Once its viability can be proven, a decision can then be taken to proceed to; Undertake a full feasibility study of the project in order to prepare it for funding and subsequent implementation. We understand that in order to develop a bankable project, the scope of work required in these two stages for this study will broadly include: • The collection of al] necessary planning data including physical surveys and site investigations covering water resources, hydrometeorology, demographic and social, soils and land suitability, agricultural, geological, environmental, financial and economic data • Undertaking all analytical and planning studies including water resources and flood hydrology analysis, land and soil suitability analysis and mapping, formulation of irrigation and drainage development options, identifying agricultural and agio-processing and marketing opportunities, social surveys and social and environmental impact studies. • The preparation of engineering designs for irrigation and drainage development and for other necessary infrastructure, for example water supply, communications and power; including cost estimation and engineer's estimates . Undertaking all necessary financial and economic analysis together with social and environmental impact assessments; sufficient to meet the requirements of both GoE and international financing institutions for a bankable project Dornn.

However, based upon our previous experience of the many projects described above, and on our general appreciation of the area, some important issues which might need to be addressed for successful project preparation may well include the following: • Land area: the possible dissection and fragmentation of land due to the number of incised tributaries which flow into the Lower Beles River on both its left and right banks will be important. This will affect both the sizes of contiguous parcels of land and the total area that can be brought under irrigation, as well as the unit costs of irrigation development • Land slopes: the distribution of land slopes throughout Lower Beles will also influence the degree of consolidation that can be achieved. Land with slopes of less than 3% are desirable for irrigation command areas if (more) expensive land forming measures and the potential risks of soil erosion from over irrigation or the drainage of natural rainfall are to be avoided • Water resources: the potential for irrigation development will be directly linked, and potentially constrained, in both the Lower (and Upper) Beles by the operational control of upstream flows released through the Tana-Beles hydropower station. • Soils and land suitability: the type, distribution and depth of soils throughout Lower Beles will be a key consideration. The development of irrigated agriculture is more straightforward and cost effective on soils that are deep (1 metre or greater) and fertile throughout their profile, and well drained. • Accessibility, services and marketing: attracting private sector investment in commercial mechanised agriculture will probably be important for this area. Access to and within the potential project will need considerable improvement for transporting inputs and agricultural production to markets. Dependable water and power services will be necessary to attract investors and work forces alike. • Social and environmental: the environmental implications of drainage water impacts from a Lower Beles project on the proposed Renaissance Dam reservoir will be an important consideration. Though population densities are probably low, impacts and alternative employment opportunities for local peoples will also be an important issue to be addressed. Doc no: Version.

For nearly two decades (1984-2002), NIRAS played a key role in the development of Ethiopia's smallholder dairy sector (MFA and AfDB projects). During 2009-2010 NIRAS has been involved in 10 donor funded contract in Ethiopia, several in the Amhara Region. Relevant projects include e.g. i) the Watershed M&E component of the Tana Beles Integrated Water Resources Development Project (TBIWRDP), ii) the Sida-Amhara Rural Development Programme (SARDP 1995 - 2010), iii) the EC funded TA support to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MoARD) for the implementation of the Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP 2009-2010), and iv) the Final Evaluation of EU's Nutrition Support Programme. In 2009, the World Bank contracted NIRAS to redo/recoup a poorly undertaken value chain analysis for developing an Operational Action Plan for the Commercial Production of Pulses and Oilseeds in the Amhara Region. NIRAS's local office in Addis Ababa, established in 2009, demonstrates NIRAS strategy to build long-term partnerships beyond individual projects. Apart from provision of direct services, NIRAS invests in the careers of its staff, building local capacity and contributing back to the local economy. Today, NIRAS has 16 local offices, of which seven in Africa, making up 30% of the NIRAS International Consulting's HQ staff 2.4.3 Technical and managerial capabilities NIRAS strives to ensure that its consulting services are implemented with focus on quality performance, reliability and creativity. We believe that putting into place a good project management structure is of importance to obtain the highest level of professional and operational effectiveness and quality. The service we propose for particular contracts are, therefore, not only limited to the provision of the expertise which our consultants will bring with them, but all our contracts are amply supported by our head office through supervisory, administrative and logistical resources. As overall guidelines for the project management we apply vigorously a quality assurance system, which is well described in our quality assurance manual These procedures address project goals and objectives, programme approach, gender awareness, environmental and poverty alleviation issues, in-country cultural social and religious considerations and counterpart relations. Using well established and time tested procurement procedures, NIRAS has effectively managed procurement components of the projects undertaken. Doc no. Vrt-oon.

For more information see Appendix H. 3.1 Broad Range of Project Experience Halcrow, GIRDC and NIRAS past projects of particular relevance have included: • In the 1970's and 80's Halcrow undertook Feasibility studies for irrigation projects at Dabus, Wei to and Amibara; and water resource development studies in the 80's and 90's for the Awash and Rift Valley basins • In the same era Halcrow was responsible for the design and construction supervision of the first link road between Bure and Nekempt, and for the Abay Bridge on that road • Since 2005 our pool of international and national experts have undertaken a range of projects including the Awash Basin Flood and Diredawa Flood Control studies, the IWSMS for ENTRO, and the Masterplan Study for the Integrated Development of Natural Resources in the Rift Valley Lakes Basin. • Most recently between 2009 and 2011, the combined Halcrow - GIRDC international and national consultants' team has undertaken the Nile Basin 80,000 ha irrigation development study for MoWE. This is highly relevant to the requirements of the Lower Beles project and is discussed in a little more detail, below. • NIRAS have a strong regional presence, have been working in Ethiopia continuously for the past 28 years, and have an office in Addis Ababa. They have worked with the Ministry of Agriculture on several projects and have recently completed the Sida Amhara Rural Development project. They are currently implementing the M&E and MIS system for Tana Beles watershed management (in partnership with GIRDC), the Responsible Land Management and Administration project (national, Amhara region and Beninshangul Gumuz), as well as a water and sanitation programme in Beninshangul Gumuz and the Feasibility Study for Gondar Town water supply. • NIRAS have carried out several short term assignments in the Amhara Region in agriculture and marketing including the Programme Planning of the Euro 22M project Agribusiness Induced Growth (Agro BIG) (MFA Finland) and a value chain analysis of oilseeds and pulses (World Bank)). They have just been granted the organisation of an international agri-business and trade seminar in Addis in February 2012.

GIRDC has recently made a reconnaissance assessment of the potential for land and water resource development in Lower Beles area for an Indian national private limited company. NIRAS has worked in Ethiopia since 1983 and from 2008 they have carried out over ten assignments in Ethiopia for dients such as the European Commission, MFA Denmark (Danida), MFA Finland, Sida and the World Bank with core skills in agriculture, agribusiness and enterprise development. • Currently since 2010 Halcrow - GIRDC have been undertaking reconnaissance level environmental and socio-economic impact assessments for MoWE of the construction of dams on the Blue Nile. Various sites for dams have been considered by other consultants carrying out technical studies, including the Renaissance (dose to Lower Beles), Mandaya and Beko Abo dams. Highly Relevant Project Experience The recently-completed Nile 80,000 ha study involved studies to identify potential irrigation development projects at three locations: I • At Megech on Lake Tana, -,y • On the Negesso (and Wama) Rivers near Nekempt, and • At Upper Beles A ,U The sco pe of the Upper Beles study comprised (i) initial work planning and X ■V ( J »_ •h • - scheduling, (ii) pre-feasibility studies for key developments; (iii) detailed data collection, surveys and investigations; (iv) feasibility level studies and analyses; (v) preliminary designs and costs for development works and associated programmes; (vi) stakeholder consultations and information dissemination leading to consensus and agreements; and (vii) preparation of full feasibility study reports The feasibility studies comprised the following main activities: Water Resources and Irrigation Development: agro-dimatology and hydro meteorology, hydrology and water quality, hydro-geology, water resources availability and use, flood studies, drainage studies, and irrigation development studies; Land Resources and Agricultural Development soils, land use and land suitability, irrigated agriculture and agro-eoonomic development planning, and -■ livestock studies; •• i. ■ Resource Users and Socio-economics: stakeholder characteristics, interests, attitudes and concerns; r .- ■* Engineering Surveys, Investigations, Planning and Design: topographic and 1 geotechnical surveys and investigations, irrigation and drainage planning and < -> / preliminary designs, and dam/rcservoir planning and design; Environmental Status and Impacts; ■ A- i. ->■ Do-no V«iion Dale.

At Negecso the scope of work required for the study was identical that which will be required for the Lower Beles project. Halcrow - GIRDC first undertook a pre feasibility level study of the Negesso dam and its associated command area in order to prove the underlying viability of the project. This was successful and was then followed by a full feasibility study which proposed several land development and technological options. The outcome of those studies was a feasible and internationally bankable project. At Upper Beles, Halcrow - GIRDC undertook land resources assessment not only of Upper Beles but also a high level assessment of Hyma (Upper Dindir) area. Water resources modelling was however undertaken to assess the water resources potential for the whole of the Tana Beles sub-basin. The conclusion reached from these detailed studies was that there was no need for a major dam to provide inter-annual storage for irrigation, but small "short-season" storage to command the whole Upper Beles area. This has implications for the proposed Dangur dam for development of the Lower Beles command area. Docrw! Version Dale: September 2011 Project code-.

As shown in the table over page, we shall consider these different techniques in terms of their suitability for different topography, soil and water supply conditions for application methods such as: Small and large rectangular basins Contour checks Narrow and Wide Border techniques Benched terraces Straight and graded furrows Corrugations Basin and zigzag furrows We will look at this in detail and ensure that various techniques for improving water handling and minimising losses for furrow irrigation are included in the detailed design process. Such improvement techniques are described below, and are shown in the accompanying photographs: • Encourage the local production and use of different shapes of double sided ploughs (deep and narrow, round, wide and shallow) Encourage the use of simple plastic sheet stop-offs to head-up and divert water at the quaternary level Encourage the use of lay-flat tubing to convey water from canalets to farm ditches. Encourage the use of gated lay-flat tubing instead of open farm ditches. Such tubing can be fitted with simple preformed plastic valves which can be punched through the tubing with string or wire will act as a valving arrangement Promote the technique of cut-back furrow irrigation. This would be particularly appropriate in the case of using layflat tube manifolds instead of farm ditches. A manifold is divided in half by tying off one side and delivering the full irrigation stream to half the furrows. Once these are fully wetted. Thereafter all furrows are supplied through the entire manifold at half the original flow. This technique has been found to improve water use efficiency. Individual Syphon Tubes from concrete Lined Header Ditch Io Encourage farmers to introduce intermediate header ditches at significant changes of land slope where land has not been well graded. This could beneficially be implemented where open furrows and layflat tubing are used.

Halcrow also so has the capabilitys to use, Mike BASIN, RIBASIM, the whole HEC suite, SWAT and whole ISIS suite (which is described in appendix E). 1 Estimating Crop_Water Requirements (CROPWAT) We will base the estimation of open water evaporation and reference crop potential evapotranspiration on the use of available hydrometeorological data and application of energy budget methods. The program used for simulating crop yield response to water 'CropWat' is a decision support system developed by the Land and Water Development Division of the FAO. Its main functions are to calculate reference evapotranspiration, crop water requirements and crop irrigation requirements in order to develop irrigation schedules under various management conditions and scheme water supply and to evaluate rainfed production, drought effects and the efficiency of irrigation practices. The FAO software 'CropWat version 7 will be used as the primary source for the derivation of reference crop evapotranspiration, based on observed estimates of relative humidity, temperature, wind speed and sunshine duration. The calculated values of open water evaporation and reference crop potential evapotranspiration will be compared against recorded values of evaporation where available. It is notable that the recorded evaporation is measured using the Piche evaporimeter and as such is likely to be an underestimate of the 'true' evaporation. CropWat uses the Penman-Monteith formula for the calculation of evapotranspiration as recommended by FAO (1992). It uses procedures for predicting yields when all the dimate, soil and crop parameters are known. This approach makes it possible to estimate the actual evapotranspiration (ETo or actual crop water use), after having estimated the stress factor Ks from the ratio of actual to potential yield. The input data for the model are monthly dimatic parameters induding maximum and minimum temperature, humidity, sunshine and wind speed. Appropriate water use efficiencies at the diversion distribution and on-farm application levels will be applied, together with appropriate cropping patterns from our Agronomy team, to estimate total irrigation water demands. 2 WEAP Software WEAP is a practical tool for water resources planning. WEAP is distinguished by its integrated approach to simulating water systems and by its policy orientation. WEAP places the demand side of the equation, water use patterns, equipment efficiencies, re-use, prices and allocation on an equal footing with the supply side, streamflow, groundwater, reservoirs and water transfers. WEAP has the ability to examine alternative water development and management strategies. WEAP is comprehensive, straightforward and easy-to-use. WEAP acts as a database, providing a system for maintaining water demand and supply information. As a forecasting tool, WEAP simulates water demand, supply, flows, and storage. Aj a policy analysis tool, WEAP can evaluate a full range of water development and management options. Operating on the basic principle of water balance accounting, WEAP is applicable to municipal and agricultural systems, single sub basins or complex river systems. 3 Miks-BASIN Mike BASIN is a river basin scale model that can be used in water availability analysis, infrastructure planning, analysis of multi-sectoral demands and ecosystem studies developed by DHL Dc'cno: Version.

Mike BASIN is accessed through an ArcGIS interface, although it is notable that the computational engine can also be accessed directly through the Microsoft COM technology. Mike BASIN is extensively used worldwide for water balance / allocation modelling (e.g., it has been used both with the Mekong river basin and the Abbay and Awash river basins in Ethiopia). 4 RIBAS IM RIBAS1M is a river basin simulation model developed by DELFT that can be used in: long term planning; short term water allocation scheduling; in-season operation scheduling; and flow forecasting systems. It includes: bespoke GIS and case management tools to allow for structured analysis; hydrological in-river routing; consideration of a wide variety of water users (e.g., irrigation, municipal and industrial water supply and wetlands); extensive reservoir operation simulation functionality including hydro-power generation; groundwater simulation and conjunctive use; water management and water allocation; water quality modelling (which can be extended by linking to DELWAQ); and agriculture modelling. It is not known whether the RIB ASEM analysis engine can be accessed through an API. RIBASIM is also extensively used throughout the world for water balance / allocation modelling. 5 HEC suite The Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) has developed a variety of software tools for the US Army Corps of Engineers. The software is freely available to download. A variety of tools are summarised below: HEC-DSSVue is a tool for graphing, tabulating, editing and manipulating data in HEC-DSS, a data storage system incorporated into all main HEC applications. It includes a 'plug-in' facility that allows users to readily extend the functionality of HEC-DSSVue. HEC-RAS is a 1-d hydraulic model that performs steady and unsteady flow simulations and sediment transport and water quality analysis - superceding HEC-2 - and is linked to the HEC DSS data storage system. HEC-SSP is a statistical software package that can be used for frequency analysis and volume-duration frequency analysis (with functionality for more general statistical analysis of time series data expected in future releases). HEC-SSP is linked to the HEC DSS data storage system. HEC-HMS is a generalized modelling system capable of representing many different watersheds. A model of the watershed is constructed by separating the hydrologic cyde into manageable pieces and constructing boundaries around the watershed of interest Any mass or energy flux in the cyde can then be represented with a mathematical model. In most cases, several model choices are available for representing each flux. Each mathematical model included in the program is suitable in different environments and under different conditions The program features a completely integrated work environment induding a database, data entry utilities computation engine, and results reporting tools. A graphical user interface allows the seamless movement between the different parts of the program. Program functionality and appearance are the same across all supported platforms. i n Doc no Vrnoon- D-»IT September 2CU Filmwnc Lower BdwETHv | doc ^aicrow NIR A/*S >1- • 'V-. /.! ■y,, -The physical representation of a watershed is accomplished with a basin model.

The five-layer soil moisture accounting method can be used for continuous modelling of complex infiltration and evapotranspiration environments. Gridded methods are available for both the deficit constant and soil moisture accounting methods. Seven methods are included for transforming excess precipitation into surface runoff. Unit hydrograph methods include the Clark, Snyder, and SCS techniques. User-specified unit hydrograph or s-graph ordinates can also be used. The modified Clark method, ModClark, is a linear quasi-distributed unit hydrograph method that can be used with gridded meteorological data. An implementation of the kinematic wave method with multiple planes and channels is also included. Five methods are included for representing baseflow contributions to subbasin outflow. The recession method gives an exponentially decreasing baseflow from a single event or multiple sequential events. The constant monthly method can work well for continuous simulation. The linear reservoir method conserves mass by routing infiltrated precipitation to the channel. The nonlinear Boussinesq method provides a response similar to the recession method but the parameters can be estimated from measurable qualities of the watershed. Six hydrologic routing methods are included for simulating flow in open channels. Routing with no attenuation can be modelled with the lag method. The traditional Muskingum method is included along with the straddle stagger method for simple approximations of attenuation. The modified Puls method can be used to model a reach as a series of cascading, level pools with a user- specified storage-discharge relationship. Channels with trapezoidal, rectangular, triangular, or circular cross sections can be modelled with the kinematic wave or Muskingum-Cunge methods. Channels with overbank areas can be modelled with the Muskingum-Cunge method and an 8-point cross section. Additionally, channel losses can also be included in the routing. The constant loss method can be added to any routing method while the percolation method can be used only with the modified Puls or Muskingum-Cungp methods. Water impoundments can also be represented. Lakes are usually described by a user-entered storage discharge relationship. Reservoirs can be simulated by describing the physical spillway and outlet structures. Pumps can also be included as necessary to simulate interior flood area. Control of the pumps can be linked to water depth in the collection pond and, optionally, the stage in the main channel. HEC-RESSIM has been developed by the Hydrologic Engineering Center of the US Army Corps of Engineers to aid engineers and planners performing water resources studies in predicting the behaviour of reservoirs and to help reservoir operators plan releases in real-time during day-to-day and emergency operations. The major features of HEC-ResSim are described below. Graphical User Interface: Designed to follow Windows® software development standards, HEC-ResSim's interface does not require extensive tutorials to learn to use. Familiar data entry features make model Dec no: Version Dale: September 2011 Project code; Hlcrwnw: LowcrBdesEOU.vl_p.SMl doc Halcrow Of* NlRASdevelopment easy, and localized "mini plots" graph the data entered in most tables so that errors can be seen and corrected quickly. A variety of default plots and reports, along with tools to create customized plots and reports, facilitate output analysis. Map-Based Schematic: HEC-ResSim provides a realistic view of the physical river/reservoir system using a map-based schematic with a set of element drawing tools. Also, with the hierarchical outlet structure, the modeller can represent each outlet of the reservoir rather the being limited to a single composite outlet definition. The program's user interface allows the user to draw the network schematic either as a stick figure or an overlay on one or more geo-referenced maps of the watershed. HEC-ResSim represents a system of reservoirs as a network composed of four types of physical elements: junctions, routing reaches, diversions, and reservoirs. By combining these elements, the HEC-ResSim modeller is able to build a network capable of representing anything from a single reservoir on a single stream to a highly developed and interconnected system like that of California's central valley. A reservoir is the most complex element of the reservoir network and is composed of a pool and a dam. HEC- ResSim assumes that the pool is level (Le., it has no routing behaviour) and its hydraulic behaviour is completely defined by an elevation-storage-area table. The real complexity of HEC-ResSim's reservoir network begins with the dam. The dam is the root of an outlet hierarchy or "tree" which allows the user to describe the different outlets of the reservoir in as much detail as is deemed necessary. There are two basic and two advanced outlet types. The basic outlet types are controlled and uncontrolled. An uncontrolled outlet can be used to represent an outlet of the reservoir, such as an overflow spillway, that has no control structure to regulate flow. Controlled outlets can be used to represent any outlet capable of regulating flow, such as a gate or valve. The advanced outlet types are power plant and pump, both of which are controlled outlets with additional features to represent their special purposes. The power plant has the ability to compute energy production. The pump is even more specialized because its flow direction is opposite that of the other outlet types, and it can draw water up into the reservoir from the pool of another reservoir. The pump outlet type was added to enable the user to model pump back operation in hydropower systems (hydropower not required for its operation). Rule-Based Operations: Most reservoirs are constructed for one or more of the following purposes: flood control, power generation, navigation, water supply, recreation, and environmental quality. These purposes typically define the goals and constraints that describe the reservoir's release objectives. Other factors that may influence these objectives include: time of year, hydrologic conditions, water temperature, current pool elevation (or zone), and simultaneous operations by other reservoirs in a system. HEC-ResSim is unique among reservoir simulation models because it attempts to reproduce the decision making process that human reservoir operators must use to set releases. It uses an original rule-based description of the operational goals and constraints that reservoir operators must consider when making release decisions. D<x- ncr Vcoiorr Dale-.

There is a wide range of uses to which GIS are put, including asset management, decision support and strategic planning. Commonly employed applications of GIS make use of their ability to link computer graphics to database information and so provide an intuitive tool for data interrogation, transformation and reporting. The ability of GIS to output information as maps, which are highly detailed whilst remaining readily understood, also helps to account for their increasing level of use throughout diverse industry sectors. Information systems equipped with the appropriate software enable us to model real-world processes. GIS allow us to set these models within a locational framework and relate the process modelling to space. Such a capacity for Spatial Modelling makes GIS a powerful tool to assist in building up an understanding of events occurring around us. Halcrow specialises in this use of GIS technologies working at many levels, from the mapping and interpretation of base level data to the development of complex numeric models that can be integrated within GIS. Halcrow offers an applied approach to spatial data management and analysis. We focus on the provision of solutions to operational problems, based on an understanding of our clients' requirements and the possibilities afforded by state-of-the-art technologies. In applying GIS solutions to numerous major projects undertaken across the globe, Halcrow has developed a breadth of expertise ranging from systems design and software development to data interpretation and modelling.

This allows clear presentation of information, cost-benefit analysis and long term strategic decision-making. Halcrow have been involved in a number of land use planning projects around the world, such as the Jamaican South Coast study. These involve a multidisciplinary approach to strategic planning, an important part of which is the integration of the assorted data within a GIS. Common geographic referencing provides the key to database integration and policy formulation. Remote Sensing Halcrow use imagery, from both satellite and aerial sources, to complement our GIS data within project work. In addition to providing a clear visual background, the digital data inherent in imagery have been used to derive quantitative analyses. Concerns over shoreline bacterial pollution & the potential environmental problems caused by the pollution plumes discharged by the River Tevere (Tiber) led to a regional study investigating the spatial extent and impact of Chlorophyll-a levels. The study used Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) data, in conjunction with in-situ surveys to derive quantitative estimates of coastal water quality parameters. Aerial photography interpretation is commonly used to assist habitat and land use mapping. Our work using 1:5,000 photography in Barbados is an example of his (see previous page). ■ halcrow.com KalcrowHalcrow GIS and Spatial Sciences VICTORIA CHANNEL AUTHORITY SECTION OF WILSON SPIT CHANNEL Terrain Modelling Three-dimensional terrain data, relating to both ground surface and bathymetry, have been extensively employed for volumetric analysis, change detection and wave modelling. In a recent R&D project for the Environment Agency, algorithms for mapping the propagation of flood water over a surface were developed. The terrain surface above is generated using sidescan sonar data. The surface is used in a grid calculation model to generate the volume required for given dredging events.

Asset Management Large datasets, such as the Environment Agency’s Sea Defence Survey and MAFF's Coast Protection Survey, have been consolidated and mapped using GIS. We have been involved with the maintenance and updating of both of these databases and recommending ways in which they can be fully exploited. Risk Analysis: GIS was employed as a key component in a series of high-profile studies for the Association of British Insurers which have identified coastal flood risk and depth by postcode. Modelling and Decision Support GIS provide basic tools for data management and the determination of spatial relationships between mapped variables. It is possible to enhance these functions through a combination of database design and complementary software development. Halcrow have developed such systems to guide the formulation of land use policy and investment strategies for infrastructure maintenance. These models are designed for ease of use within the GIS environment and allow users to run multiple event scenarios, mapping the outcome of each. Such flexibility in analysis allows rapid consideration of a range of potential scenarios and strengthens planners’ ability to reach informed decisions. System Design and Development The design and creation of software to augment standard GIS packages is important to the implementation of any operational system. No two organisations will have precisely the same system requirements and it is therefore important to accommodate these needs through software customisation. Halcrow have long been at the forefront in the development of software to meet the needs of resource planners and engineers. Across a range of disciplines Halcrow provide software solutions to assist in data management, engineering design and resource control. Working in close conjunction with Halcrow's GIS experts software development teams are able to contribute to the development of systems across a range of platforms using a number of preferred coding languages. Production Services With access to a range of proprietary systems in-house Halcrow are able to offer a full range of production services, from one-off analysis exercises and map runs to long term data management and maintenance on behalf of our clients. Data capture is achieved through digitising, scanning and the incorporation of acquired and/or collected digital data, including attribute data.

This governs our business processes and employee responsibilities enabling us to deliver services efficiently, effectively, consistently and safely, with due regard to sustainable development and the environment whilst meeting the relevant local legislative requirements. Through its long association with major projects, since its origins in the late nineteenth century, Halcrow developed a series of operating manuals. Halcrow employees have been working with an integrated management system since the first version was launched in January 1988. The system has been continually enhanced since to recognise changes in the business structure and recognise good practice into its current form as of April 2011. PRISM establishes and maintains an economic and effective framework to provide assurance that the services provided by Halcrow will meet the requirements of clients, international standards, legislation and Halcrow management. It takes account of the fact that each commission is unique and demands an individually planned approach by the project team, driven by a competent Project Manager. Standards and certification PRISM is designed to meet the requirements of the following three standards, without exclusions: • ISO 9001 - Quality management systems - Requirements • ISO 14001 - Environmental management systems - Requirements with guidance for use • BS OHSAS 18001 - Occupational health and safety management systems - Requirements. Halcrow group board requires PRISM to be implemented worldwide, subject to local legislation. Where required, compliance with the applicable locally recognised standards is confirmed by third-party certification. Trading name Standard Certification body Certificate nr.

The Halcrow business manual also authorised by the group chief executive, provides an overview of PRISM and associated organisational arrangements and management responsibilities. Halcrow business procedures describe the operational requirements and responsibilities for carrying out business activities and processes, with associated forms to provide records as required. Local requirements enable the various countries where we operate to meet local or specialist client requirements that might not be covered adequately by the global business procedures, and provide controls to assist in achieving the company SHEQ standards. Management plans provide the basis for efficient and effective commission management, recording key project information and management arrangements, and provide a primary reference for the project team. Every project must have a management plan which Is revised whenever material changes occur.

Guiding principles behind our work NIRAS strives to ensure that our consulting services are implemented with focus on quality performance, reliability and creativity. We believe that putting into place a good project management structure is of importance to obtain the highest level of professional and operational effectiveness and quality. The service we propose for particular contracts are, therefore, not only limited to the provision of the expertise which our consultants will bring with them, but all our contracts are amply supported by our head office through supervisory, administrative and logistical resources. As overall guidelines for the project management we apply vigorously a quality assurance system, which is well described in our quality assurance manual. These procedures address project goals and objectives, programme approach, gender awareness, environmental and poverty alleviation issues, in-country cultural, social and religious considerations and counterpart relations. Using well established and time tested procurement procedures, NIRAS has effectively managed procurement components of the projects undertaken. We apply a participatory methodology when collaborating with organizations and public institutions. Our aim is to work with target groups and implementing agencies in the analysis of constraints and identification of sustainable solutions. Furthermore, our approach is to share accumulated experience to empower and facilitate target groups and project beneficiaries towards the daily core activities and tasks they are confronted with. Our staff has considerable international experience and are accustomed to working in interdisciplinary and multi-cultural teams with sensitivity to local settings. Quality assurance and managerial capability All contracts are supported by NIRAS’ head offices as required covering technical, supervisory, administrative and logistical aspects. Coordinated efforts between international and local experts and supportive local presence are adequately ensured as NIRAS was founded in 1956 as an engineering company in Denmark. Through natural growth and mergers, It has become a large international consulting company with over 1300 staff engaged in the company's 25 Business Units (BU). These units are; Public Utilities West; Bridges and Structures; Marine and Geotechnical Engineering; Transport and Railways; Roads and Airports; Building East; Management, Risk and Safety, Industry and Utilities; Building Poland; Building North; Building Mid; Building South; Environment and Utilities; Environment; Water and Utilities; Water, Utilities and Environment; Environment Sweden; Analysis and Strategy; Informatics; Urban and Landscape Planning; Climate change and Energy, NIRAS International Consulting, TP Project; TP Support; and TP Analysis and Development. In 2004 NIRAS merged with the former company Scanagri. This company was originally founded by the farmer associations in Denmark, Finland and Sweden more than 30 years ago. Close linkages to the agricultural and food sectors in these countries are maintained and provide a resource base particular in agribusiness. NIRAS's origin in the private sector gives it a unique access to key private enterprises, public research institutions that give a very solid foundation for Its market development activities within agribusinessneeded. Project managers at head office and abroad are specialized in the fields of agronomy, economy, sociology, environmental sciences and geography reflecting the multi-task challenges facing development today. They are all familiarized with managing and implementing the various stages in the "project cycle" by giving financial and logistics support and advice to the experts in the field. As overall guidelines for the project management, NIRAS has in place a quality assurance and safeguard system, which involves the definition of a clear set of procedures built around a three-tier system comprising quality policy, quality procedures and working practices. With respect to business integrity and anti-corruption aspects, it is a stringent policy of NIRAS to secure non-involvement in bribery and corruption, and our Business Integrity Management System (BIMS) fulfils the policies and recommendations of the OECD, and complies with the guidelines prepared by the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC).

It provides a framework for planning and development aimed at fighting poverty and achieving social and economic improvement The objective of the Nile irrigation study is to prepare full feasibility assessments of some 80,000 ha of irrigation and drainage schemes, at three separate locations. The schemes are (i) Megech (6,024 ha, to be fed by pumping direct from Lake Tana); (ii) Upper Beles ( 63,871 ha, to be fed by diverting water downstream of Tana-Beles hydropower scheme); and (iii) Negeso (up to 16,550ha, to be fed by a dam and reservoir to be included in the scheme). The feasibility studies included: • Water resources and irrigation development: agro-climatology and hydro- meteorology, hydrology and water quality, hydro-geology, water resources availability and use, flood studies, drainage studies, and irrigation development studies; • Land resources and agricultural development: soils, land use and land suitability, irrigated agriculture and agro-economic development planning, and livestock studies; • Resource users and socio-economics: stakeholder characteristics, interests, attitudes and concerns; • Engineering surveys, investigations, planning and design: topographic and geotechnical surveys and investigations, irrigation and drainage planning and preliminary designs, and Negeso dam/reservoir planning and design; • Environmental status and impacts; •a ! I • Economic and financial appraisal; and • Stakeholder consultations and information dissemination. As part of the water resources studies, an updated water balance model for Lake Tana was prepared, to assess the impact of increased abstraction on Lake levels and outflows to the Eastern Nile Basin, as well as optimisation studies for the reservoir storages required to support the Beles and Negesso irrigation demand profiles. In order to deliver the topographic survey for the three areas to programme, high resolution bespoke stereoscopic I satellite imagery was used, supported by an appropriate level of ground control and physical survey at key structures and alongcanal alignments.

The population is currently about 9 million, and forecast to double over j ■ the 125-year horizon of the master plan. There are seven main lakes and one former lake that is now a salt pan; all but 1 1. I one are alkaline/saline and thus cannot be used for irrigation or drinking water. Most lakes are terminal (no I outflow) j [ I and thus very vulnerable to increased abstraction from the rivers that feed them. Total surface water resources are 1 1 estimated at 5,300 million cubic metres/year, and are thus well below the "threshold" for water scarcity, defined as 1 I 1,000 cubic metres/capita/year.

I | 2 2 Narrative description of Project: Over 80% of Ethiopia's population live in rural areas and depend upon agriculture for their livelihoods. Accelerated agricultural development is needed to achieve significant improvements in rural income and reduce poverty. The adverse impacts of recurrent droughts, regular flooding, and widespread soil erosion/land degradation must also be mitigated. The Awash Basin covers an area of 116,000 km , of which 64,000 km in the Western Catchment drains to the Awash River itself. The main river course is 1,200 km long; it rises in the central Ethiopian Highlands at an elevation of about 3,000m, and terminates in Lake Abe at an elevation of 250m. Frequent severe flooding mean that interventions are needed to reduce the losses resulting from flood damage and soil erosion, and to help deliver sustainable agricultural development. The Study was divided into three phases. The first reviewed available information and identified the key issues affecting flood control, watershed management and sustainable agricultural production in the basin. During Phase 2 further data collection and fieldwork were undertaken, the findings analysed and recommendations for basin development prepared. Phase 2 output included six baseline reports, respectively on basin agency restructuring; socio-economic appraisal/ community development; soil and water conservation/ watershed management; river • morphology; flood control, drainage and irrigation development; and sediment sources and control measures. A wide range of potential sub-projects were screened and ranked; from these, integrated projects were assembled, the more promising of which were carried forward to Phase 3. During Phase 3, full feasibility studies, tender designs and documentation were prepared for four projects. These were (i) rehabilitation of infrastructure (headworks, flood protection dykes, main canal etc) for 3 irrigation schemes; (ii) Upper Kesem Watershed Management; (iii) Mojo Badlands Rehabilitation and (iv) Dire Dawa Hood Mitigation. The last of these, Dire Dawa, was added as a variation to the project following a devastating food that swept through the town in August 2006, leaving over 200 dead. Floods rise quickly in the amphitheatre-tike catchment above Dire Dawa, so that mitigation measures included hydrometric monitoring and flood warning, as well as extensive watershed management works and improvements to the flood defences through the town. These projects form the basis for future donor funding.______________________ Description of actual services provided by your staff within the assignment: The overall aim of lhe study is “to provide information for a better understanding of the development challenees in the Awash River Basin area”.

To ensure sustainability of the project goals there was a need to cany out training and capacity building with government organisations for use on future projects. Overall the project emphasised the need for economically viable solutions for sustainable irrigation in a marginal environment that would be consistent with the cultural and social needs of a traditional people. i Description of actual services provided by your staff within the assignment: Phase 1 The first phase was separated into a design component and subsequent implementation and supervision of the construction stage. The design objectives were: - diversion of a higher proportion of the wadi flows - more efficient utilisation of the diverted water - reduction in the effort needed for operation and maintenance A hydrological model was developed at the design stage to estimate the quantity and reliability of water available for diversion. Traditional water rights were assessed and potential improvements discussed with the beneficiaries. Engineering design focussed upon low cost structures that were efficient and durable. Sediment exclusion from the canal system was given particular attention. Construction supervision, training for Ministry of Agriculture staff and the provision of technical manuals were the principal activities at Stage 2. Phase II 1 The Wadi Laba Diversion Works Contract was the first of three contracts within the Eastern Lowlands Wadi 1 Development Project The site is located in the Eastern Lowlands of Eritrea, at an altitude of 200m to 300m above sea-level, on the coastal plain at the foot of the eastern escarpment and comprised spate-irrigated lands of about 2,800ha.

The objective of the project was to improve the quantity and quality of agricultural production for local and export consumption by increasing the area under drip and sprinkler irrigation methods and rehabilitating existing irrigation schemes. Halcrow's client was the Mininstry of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (MARN).______________________ Description of actual services provided by your staff within the assignment: Venezuela consists of four principal regions: The Venezuelan Highlands in the west and along the Caribbean coast; the Maracaibo Lowlands around Lake Maracaibo; the central plain formed by the Orinoco River and lastly the Guyana Highlands. The project provides for the rehabilitation and expansion of irrigation in two areas of Trujillo state, one lying in the lowlands and the other in the highlands of the Rfo MotatAn basin. The initial phase of the project involved the design and installation of irrigation systems in four demonstration >• farms in the highlands. The equipment for each demonstration farm was procured and installed through an international contract In parallel with the demonstration farms in the upland area some 10 ha was developed for demonstration purposes in the lowland area. The objective of the demonstration farms was to promote the sale of sophisticated drip and sprinkler irrigation, as well as to demonstrate higher crop yields, crop diversification and marketing of produce. The long-term objective of the project was to promote the sale, installation and sustainable operation of 1200ha of I r irrigation equipment in both the highlands and lowlands. The markets which exist both within Venezuela and for • • export to neighbouring countries were surveyed as part of the project and crop selection carried out in consultation with the farmers to achieve maximum benefit. Part of the project area was within the upland region where slopes are steep, soil erosion was a major potential hazard. The project included risk assessment and the design of conservation measures where necessary. In addition the project included the international procurement of farm machinery and packing plants as well as technical assistance to farmers. Halcrow was appointed to provide specialist engineering services and equipment t procurement and to supply management services to the project. These services were provided to the Empresa Regional Sistema Hidraulico Trujillano which is the executing agency acting on behalf of MARN in the stale of Trujillo. The technical assistance team comprises five long term staff and over 20 visiting specialists working with approximately 20 national counterpart staff and specialists. t Firm's Name: Halcrow Group Limited > > , Page 13 of 28 i1 Assignment name: Second Irrigation and Drainage Approx, value of the contract (in current USS or Euro): S6 million Country: Albania Duration of assignment (months): 36 Name of Client: Government of Albania Total N ofstaff-monlhs of the assignment: 17 staff, 109 1 months Address: Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Boulevard "Deshmoret e Kombit” No 3, Tirana, Albania Approx, value of the services provided by your firm under the contract (in current USS or Euro): USS 1.9 million V of professional siaff-months provided by associated 2 Stan date (month/year): April 2000 Completion date (month/vear): March 2003 Consultants: 32 • Name of associated Consultants, if any: Flynn and Partners Hydromont Name of senior professional staff of your firm involved and functions performed (indicate most significant profiles such as Project Director/Coordinator, Team Leader): David Birch - Project Director W V Newcombe - Project Manager Martin Burton - Training Specialist Peter Adamson - Hydrologist Jonathan Hinks - Dam Engineer Rob Walton - financial Specialist L Hesling - monitoring and evaluation D Wood - gate and pump design Olaf Verheijen - Sociologist Narrative description of Project: One of the major changes brought about by the demise of the communist era, which had an important bearing on irrigation practices, was land privatisation. On the demise of the communist regime, Albania proceeded rapidly with land privatisation. As a result, more (han 400,000 small farm holdings of between 0.5ha and 3.0ha, with an average of about 1.4ha, were created. These holdings can be very irregular and result in considerable problems for water distribution. The project was conceived to increase the level of fanner income and improve irrigation and drainage services through farmer-driven rehabilitation works. € -- Description of actual services provided by your staff within the assignment: Before the start of the first phase of the Irrigation Rehabilitation Project (IRP1) in late 1993, only about 20 per cent of the 400,000ha of irrigation and drainage was irrigated. The first phase proved highly successful with a large number of water users’ associations (WUAs) being created. The second phase of the project, undertaken by Halcrow, aimed to continue the work started in the first phase. As Lead Consultant Halcrow's primary objectives were to: Increase the farm income of small fanners as a result of increased production and productivity through the demand-driven restoration of deteriorated irrigation and drainage facilities. - Increase the sustainability of the irrigation and drainage sub-sector through the nationwide transfer of irrigation management to water users’ associations (WUAs) and federations of water users’ associations (FWUAs) and restructuring and consolidation of state owned, district based water enterprises into several river basin management authorities with redefined mandates. The support provided by Halcrow was on a •demand-driven' basis in that it was at the request of the fanners through their WUA after it had reached certain criteria. Of the assistance Halcrow provided, training was one of the most important with Halcrow providing assistance to the newly formed WUAs on all aspects of water management and monitoring.

Flooding caused by tropical typhoons is probably the single most important I factor inhibiting a rise in living standards. I The project is aimed at identifying and quantifying damage caused by floods of various frequencies to residential, I business, agricultural and infrastructural properties; and providing irrigation facilities for agricultural development I of flood protected lands in the project area. Inland fisheries development, public health, rural water supply and I watershed management are other important components._________________________________________________ I Description of actual services provided by your staff within the assignment: I The project has been carried out in two phases: (i) a feasibility study; and (ii) detailed engineering for a flood I control and irrigation development project Under existing conditions flooding affects up to 60,000ha at fairly I frequent intervals. Alleviation proposals include the use of two existing lakes for attenuation of the flood I hydrograph, river channel improvements and flood embankments. Saline intrusion is a reported problem which has I been studied by sampling and analysis in the lower reaches of the river. I The limited tidal records have been used to derive the design surge caused by typhoons. As part of the study a I mathematical model of approximately 150km of the river and its flood plain has been set up based on the Halcrow IONDA Programme. Survey data of the rivers and flood plains have been obtained under sub-contract and I supplemented by in-house surveys and existing mapping. All four project areas are subject to flooding, poor I drainage and in some cases, salinity which has a severely detrimental effect on agricultural production. I The project incorporates rehabilitation of some existing systems and development of new areas. Mostly gravity I supply is being considered with some limited storage to augment dry season flows being necessary. Rehabilitation I of one existing pump system and some small-scale developments by low lift pumps are also included. In addition I to the flood alleviation and irrigation development proposals, an important component is public health and rural I water supply. For rural water supplies it is proposed to develop spring sources, wherever possible, and piped I gravity supplies to population areas. Both lakes referred to in the flood alleviation proposals are important I fisheries’ sources which contribute significantly to the local economy and support many families. I Soil erosion is serious in the Mount Mayon sector of the catchment, but in other I areas the problems are of more of a social, land tenure and economic nature. Trial I areas are being proposed, based on the idea of increased production from the I watershed being achieved in co-operation with the resident population.

Narrative description of Project: Halcrow prepared a feasibility study for the rehabilitation of an existing irrigation scheme located 35km south east of Barcelona. The irrigable area without river regulation is small (400ha) and alternative methods of irrigation were designed to feasibility level in order to maximise potential agricultural development. Terms of reference were prepared for the feasibility study of the agricultural development of 6,000ha under irrigation, with development of storage facilities. Description of actual services provided by your staff within the assignment: The feasibility study of the rehabilitation of the existing 400ha scheme considered alternative agricultural development plans based on the water available for irrigation from unregulated river flows. The reliable river flow calculated from flow records upstream of the intake site was insufficient to allow irrigation of the area commanded by the existing system. The development proposals therefore included a combination of surface and pressurised irrigation to maximise die area irrigable from surface water sources. The proposed rehabilitation of the irrigation infrastructure included replacement of the existing pumping installation and remodelling of the intake, together with rehabilitation of concrete lined main and secondary canals. Outline designs and cost estimates for irrigation infrastructure improvements were prepared. The cost of ancillary works including road rehabilitation, electricity supply and on-farm development were prepared together with estimates of the benefits from agricultural production. Preliminary estimates of operation and maintenance costs and replacement costs were made and water tariffs chargeable to users were estimated. In developing draft Terms of Reference for a detailed feasibility study of the extension area, of 6,000ha the existing designs for storage facilities were reviewed and preliminary surveys of soil type and land form were earned out in the development area. These preliminary site investigations combined with reservoir operation studies enabled the area potentially irrigable with construction of storage facilities to be estimated.

Recent projects Al Dalea Governorate, Yemen Rural Water Resources Assessment Halcrow Rural Management was commissioned by the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation (MAI) to carry out a feasibility study for a rural development project of the Al Dalea Governorate, in the southern highlands of the Republic of Yemen. Halcrow Group provided water resource expertise to the project for evaluation of water resources in the study area. The study area covered an area of approximately 1200 km2 of mountainous terrain. The objective of the water resources study was to: • Determine the available water in the area. • Assess how it was being exploited. • Advise on options to increase development and/or improve water efficiency. The initial phase of the study involved existing data collection from the relevant ministries, authorities and survey institutions. A preliminary review of the available data allowed for initial planning of the field studies, including well inventories, consumptive use surveys, wadi flow Interviews, in field hydrochemical analysis and field checking of topographic, geological, hydrogeological and hydrological data.

I B I I 9 I I 0 I I Pars Special Energy Zone, Iran - Development Master plan The Pars Special Energy Zone Authority (ParsSEEZone) has appointed Halcrow to prepare a Master plan for the development of its Zone for Industry. The Master Plan identifies the zoning of land for Industry, housing and other uses as well as phasing of the development and environmental effects. Groundwater levels beneath the ‘site’ are 25- 30mbgl. The underlying rock is described as sands and gravels and is very permeable (1 x 10-4 m/s). Groundwater was brackish (15000-20,000 S/cm) in the boreholes located in between the wadis It would be anticipated to be fresher within the wadis themselves due to wadi flow Infiltration. Villages down gradient would potentially receive any pollution entering the permeable ground once it came into contact with the groundwater. Potential sources of contamination may include sewage effluent and chemicals specific to the industry. Drinking water supplies could become contaminated as a result of these activities.

Strategic assessment of water and related resources receives high priority, and does not stop at mere data management, but actively pursues the generation of strategically focussed information and knowledge; • integration is built into institutions, resource management, and policy. There is recognition of the holistic nature of ecosystems, and all policies, decisions and projects are evaluated against this background; • community participation is built into all processes. It is the accepted way of doing business in the public sector, although it is in its infancy in many countries. It recognises also that the natural resources of a country belong to its people, and they have a right to participate in its management. Furthermore, community participation leads to government efficiency, ownership of policies and actions by the community, and to readily accepted principles of cost sharing. Halcrow currently undertakes work in all aspects of water resources and river basin planning and management worldwide. halcrow.comRiver basin planning Specialist services in the water sector «5 Modelling and hydrology I J Halcrow has a long and distinguished history in the planning, development and management of I overseas projects, which combine related skills in I the water resources sector and particularly in river basin modelling and hydrology.

Halcrow can provide a full and comprehensive range of services to meet the needs of the most demanding of projects on a worldwide basis. Specialist disciplines relevant to hydroelectric power projects, for which Halcrow is able to offer services, include: • Hydroelectric power stations; • Tunnels, shafts and caverns; • Dams and hydraulic structures; • Geotechnical investigations; • Hydrological and power studies; • Scheme layout and optimisation; • Financial and economic analyses; • Environmental assessment and mitigation; • Project planning and management; • Procurement; • Construction supervision; • Operation and Maintenance; • Institutional strengthening; • Training and transfer of technology; Halcrow’s experience in identifying and planning hydroelectric schemes ranges from initial map studies to assess the hydro-potential of an area, through to selection of the system arrangement which makes best use of topographic and geological features Identified by site investigation. At the planning stage, it is essential to formulate design objectives and consider the power system, which the scheme Is to supply. To make maximum economic use of hydropower potential from a river basin, the layout of a scheme may differ significantly from one required to provide the most economic local source of power. Likewise, a hydropower scheme to supply an isolated load centre will differ from one designed to provide peaking capacity to a multi-source grid. In many cases, it is also necessary to integrate hydropower development with other uses of the available water resource to produce the most appropnate combined scheme to serve a number of objectives. Halcrow can advise on appropriate hydropower planning objectives and developments and has experience in wafer resource master planning projects, incorporating hydropower, in China, Ethiopia, Thailand, and the Common Rivers Project (covering Bangladesh and eastern India). Halcrow has undertaken hydropower resource planning studies for more than 60 hydropower schemes throughout SE Asia. Halcrow has experience in the economic and f i i n n f aran st ci raul ct a un raelysi inves fst ormheydntrs, opwohwicher acondmomthoenrly minavojorlve cost-benefit analysis, economic ranking, sensitivity analysis, internal rate of return and other common economic criteria. Financial models are used to test the robustness of hydropower schemes for the benefit of the owner, operator and investor. The models predict return on equity, cash flows, sensitivity to variations in interest rates, energy tariffs, operating periods, construction costs, etc. Such models are well suited to BOT and BOO/BOOM hydropower developments. Halcrow experts have also undertaken technical and financial Due Diligence studies for hydropower schemes in Australia, USA and SE Asia. Hydroelectric scheme layouts vary widely to best match the optimum theoretical arrangement and particular site advantages and constraints. Selection of alternative conceptual layouts is the key role of the hydropower engineer and a matter where background experience and ingenuity are fundamental. Scheme optimisation is an integral and necessary part of the design process for any hydroelectric scheme and has been earned out by Halcrow on many projects. Scheme optimisation involves achieving a balance between the initial capital cost and the value of energy produced over the life of KalcrowJwater Hydropower Services ■ the project as a result of the capital investment. Halcrow’s usual method for scheme optimisation is to develop a combined hydraulic and economic computer model specific to each scheme, developed from our standard computer model. This then enables the optimum scheme to be updated regularly as data is confirmed by investigation, alternatives are considered and the design and cost estimates refined Halcrow's broad experience and capability in selecting the most suitable scheme layout can be demonstrated by the diversity of the scheme arrangements with which the firm has been involved. These include: • Run of river schemes • Seasonal storage schemes • Underground powerhouses • Buried and surface powerhouses • Underground and surface desanders • Surface and buried steel panstocks • Steel lined tunnel penstock • Headrace tunnels • Headrace canals • Re-regulation reservoirs Hydraulic design is an essential aspect of all hydroelectric projects and Halcrow has experienced staff and the computer facilities to undertake this. Consideration must be given to satisfactory steady state hydraulic performance of the hydraulic structures including intakes, spillways, desanding facilities, bifurcations, manifolds, and outlet works, as well as the hydraulic conduits. Performance must be assessed through the full range of hydraulic conditions rf the scheme is to function correctly. At intakes particular consideration is necessary to prevent blocking by sediment and floating debns and to prevent ingress of particles which can damage the mechanical equipment. Halcrow is well aware of the need to eliminate these problems and have in the past carried out sediment modelling (Medamit. Malaysia) as well as designing settlement basins (Shrinagar. India) where appropriate. As well as steady-state flows, it is necessary to consider surges and waler hammer in the hydraulic conduits and, where necessary, design surge tanks, shafts or chambers to keep the pressures within acceptable limits. Halcrow’s capability includes the use of computer programs for transient analysis. Halcrow's main closed conduit hydraulic network program ’COUP’ can be used to model both mass oscillation and water hammer in the most complex of systems and has been used for detailed design of complex systems (Kotmale, Sri Lanka, Medamit, Malaysia and Rudbar, Iran). The importance of environmental and social impacts in the process of ensunng the sustainability of hydropower projects is now internationally recognised. In the past, the environmental and social experts would review the designer’s proposals on completion of the design phase. This often resulted in environmental mitigation measures that extended the design period and led to subsequent double working, design changes, delays and possible compromise in the standards of mitigation. Halcrow's approach to the environmental and social aspects is to involve all stakeholders and the experts dunng the feasibility study and design stages. Halcrow is able to offer advice in the establishment of the procedures for operation and maintenance, in the training of staff, and in the development of instructions for these activities. The firm is also able to provide staff to assist the client undertaking these functions, where required. Particular areas in which the firm has specialist expertise and can offer relevant services include: • the preparation of O&M manuals • development of management structures • staff training and development • legal aspects, policy, rules and regulations • cost recovery • economic and social factors • safety programs • development of operation procedures • water management • water quality control and monitoring • maintenance planning and equipment • pollution control HalcrowTourism Halcrow experience Tourism Projects The Development Planning International Team within Halcrow’s Consulting Group has a good capability in tourism planning which has been established over a number of years through a varied range of projects in different parts of the world.

Mining dates back several centunes and has left a legacy of mining relics which are potentially hazardous when developing an area of ground Mining activities in the urban environment have not been restricted to coal, but include bulk minerals and metalliferous ores, though the latter, with the exception of parts of the Cornish tin and west Cumbria haematite mining fields, tend to be in rural areas World-wide mining takes place in almost every developed or developing country, and in many cases mining underpins the economy. Halcrow has international experience in the mining sector from small-scale artisanal operation through to complex multi-disciplinary operation Halcrow has capabilities and expertise in the following, • Arbitration, expert witness and lands tribunals. • Stock market flotation audits (undertaken in accordance with Chapter 19 of the London Stock Exchange Listings). • Competence Persons Reports (also called CPRs). • Valuation and evaluation of investments. • Some types of exploration, geological investigations and reserve/resource calculations. • Geohazards and mining hazards assessments. Mining liabilities & hazards including, mine entries (shafts and adits), mining-subsidence, residual subsidence, fault reactivation, ground fissuring, ground compression, mining waste, colliery spoil, lagoons and tailings dam stability, contamination and pollution, spontaneous combustion, dust & noise, mine water rebound, mine gas emissions, gas and water monitoring, and the stability of mine fill. • Environmental audits and environmental investigations in area of past/historical mining. • Civil-engineering and infrastructure developments • Some types of mining engineering and subsidence engineering. • Mine (surface and underground) abandonment, mine closure and mine planning. Geotechnical Engineering in Areas Subject to Shallow Mineworkings and Natural Caverns There are many areas where sub-surface voids, generally either shallow mineworkings or natural caverns (karstic rocks), represent a potential hazard. Geotechnical engineering The presence of cavities is usually determined through the use of a combination of techniques tailored to the site conditions. These include desk studies and historical research, the use of surface geophysical techniques, borehole investigations including probing, down hole geophysics, packer testing and downhole cavity survey techniques. In some cases, human entry is possible. Halcrow has recent experience in the specification and use of all of these techniques. The risks associated with shallow mineworkings and natural caverns can generally be dealt with by one of the following approaches: • On the basis of a thorough risk assessment, take no action. • Treat the voids, by infilling or other forms of support, strengthening or elimination. • Design infrastructure and other facilities above the voids, to accommodate any ground movement resulting from collapse of the voids. Where grouting is a possible solution, a key element in the design process is a hydrogeological assessment, to assess both pollution risks and consequential effects on the local hydrogeological regime. For 10 years, Halcrow has been involved in research into the properties and environmental impacts of a range of possible cavity infill materials. These include hydraulically and pneumatically stowed aggregates, cementitious materials such as pfa grouts, foamed concrete, and sand - cement grouts. Halcrow has extensive experience, in several countries, of the geotechnical engineering associated with both undermined and karstic ground. These projects include roads, railways, ports, buildings and tunnels. Brief details of some of the projects are given below. Felindre Strategic Infrastructure This project, undertaken for the Welsh Development Agency, involved site investigations, detailed design and supervision of about 2km of camageway in an area where there were shallow coal workings and entries to a former colliery. The HalcrowGeology and Minerals Mining sector and mining liabilities, hazards and risks site was zoned for risk, and in the high risk section, the design approach adopted was to grout the known workings To cater for the risk of undiscovered workings, the road embankment was constructed on a geogrid reinforced mattress. Freeport, Grand Bahama Halcrow was retained to design and supervise the construction of an extension to the pavement and container handling facilities at the Freeport Container Terminal. Flooded cavities were believed to be present in the soft limestones that underlie the area An investigation comprising 48 boreholes and an extensive microgravity survey was undertaken to identify the location and extent of cavities. The interpretation provided estimates of cavity size (up to 6m) and likely grout take In some areas cave divers were able to access voids, which confirmed the results from the microgravity survey. The residual gravity plan for part of the site is shown in the adjacent picture. Treatment options included relocating non- cntical structures, grouting and ’do nothing’. Sirhowy Enterprise Way A cable-stayed bridge is the major feature of this 5km length of road, for which Halcrow undertook a tender design for Norwest Holst Much of the route is underlain by shallow coal workings. Following a risk categorisation and a hydrogeological study, the design approach included the following techniques: • Large structures to be piled through the workings • Geogrid reinforcement below embankments. • Reinforced concrete pavement designed to span potential voids • Grouting where high voidage at shallow depth indicates a high risk. Das Island. United Arab Emirates Das Island, in the Arabian Gulf, is formed from thin limestones and salt, known to include significant voids. Halcrow were retained in 1998 to advise on the stability of a series of existing flare stacks and the design of a number of new flare stacks. An extensive microgravity survey was undertaken across the area to assess the likely extent and size of voids affecting the existing installations and the proposed new structures. The residual gravity plan for one area is shown in the adjacent picture. The survey suggested that the ground was generally fractured but included no significant cavities within critical areas. Subsequent drilling confirmed the microgravity results. Young Dong Railroad Relocation Project, Korea Halcrow was appointed as Foreign Consultant to the successful tenderer for the design and construction of a 16.3 km long, single track, mountain loop rail tunnel through karst limestone and coal measures rocks with both operational and abandoned mine workings Halcrow’s advice included geological interpretation, and recommendations for additional investigations to identify voids, water sources, and potentially hazardous gases including • Surface boreholes (using downhole techniques such as caliper logs and televiewer). • From within the tunnel, forward probing, seismic reflection and ground radar. Risk assessments were prepared, which included the hazards associated with construction in karst and in the immediate vicinity of mine workings. North - South Link Road, West Midlands For this project, which was underlain by shallow mine workings. Halcrow designed a geogrid reinforced mattress integral with the earthworks of the new road. The mattress was designed to span the likely void diameter generated by the particular workings known or suspected to exist at the site and thereby reduce the possible consequences of a mine collapse to an acceptable and manageable level. The mattress had the additional benefit of reducing the requirement for formation preparation for the earthworks. Abandoned mine shafts were grouted. Kingston Gypsum Mine Halcrow was engaged to undertake an environmental and geotechnical desk study of a disused mine owned by British Gypsum near Kingston on Soar, Nottinghamshire. The stability of the disused pillar and stall mine workings was reviewed and a number of potential collapse mechanisms identified. Among these was the planned flooding of the mine, which would accelerate the solution and possible collapse of the remnant gypsum pillars. The appraisal of the stability of possible unrecorded mine workings and the potential for natural solution of near-surface gypsum was undertaken in conjunction with a HalcrowP Geology and Minerals Mining sector and mining liabilities, hazards and risks geomorphological survey. Options for ground treatment were determined. Trentham Lakes North To provide certainty on the performance of an old and sub standard shaft cap. Halcrow designed a geogrid reinforced earthworks shaft cap which provided protection against any catastrophic failure of the existing shaft cap and surrounding ground. This was a cost effective alternative to complete replacement of the existing cap The design required acceptance that some surface movement would still be possible, but to a defined and manageable level. Stabilisation of Limestone workings at Gilmerton. Edinburgh Halcrow were appointed by Barratt East of Scotland to design, prepare contract documentation for. and supervise the construction of the stabilisation of old limestone workings known to underlie a housing development at Gilmerton to the south East of Edinburgh. Some 11500t of grout was injected into voids up to 3m high over an area of some 0.3ha. Norton Park, Stoke on Trent Halcrow designed and executed a programme of investigation and treatment for a number of abandoned mine shafts. Most of these shafts are buried by 20m or so of colliery spoil, necessitating a variation to the standard techniques of investigation in order to maximise the success-rate of locating the shafts. The project also includes the investigation and treatment of shallow abandoned mine workings. Daniel’s Land, Merry Hill For this land reclamation scheme. Halcrow designed major earth retaining structures to stabilise a hillside and to provide for the diversion of an existing canal. To ensure the stability of these measures, unrecorded abandoned mine working and shafts were also located and pressure grouted. This included treatment of coal workings, buried tunnels and shafts. Hednesford Brickworks Reclamation As agent to English Partnerships. Halcrow was responsible for ensuring satisfactory design, procurement and execution of shallow mine treatment as part of wider works for the redevelopment of a former colliery and brickworks site. Combe Down Stone Mines This complex of mines was a major source of stone used in the construction of much of the City of Bath. The workings cover at least 16ha, and are 4m to 8m below ground level. They were worked by the ’room and pillar* method. A number of collapses have occurred in the past, and some have caused surface damage. Halcrow was appointed to review techniques for stabilisation and to prepare method statements and costs estimates for appropriate stabilisation techniques. Following a technical and environmental review of a number of options, Halcrow developed a preferred strategy which comprised 3 basic elements. • Long term monitoring only of areas of the mines in reasonable structural condition, to which safe access could be provided. • Strengthening of existing roofs and pillars by means of spraying with steel fibre-reinforced concrete, in areas where the floor to roof height exceeds 2m and the pillars and roof are strong enough for such treatment. • llfilling with cementitious grout in areas where headroom is less than 2m, or which are too weak for the above treatments. Halcrow also carried out a detailed Environmental Assessment and reviewed a wide range of grout and other infill materials for technical and environmental suitability.

Some of the fields in which training had been conducted are land and water management, irrigation and crop production; community based integrated rural development, income generation and rural entrepreneurs, soil and water conservation, natural resource and environmental protection, monitoring and evaluation .etc. Some of the specific trainings conducted are. Rift Valley Children and Women Development Association: Conducted training on Integrated Rural development project preparation, Management and M& E Rift Valley Lakes Basin Institutional and Capacity Building Study: The institutional study is to determine the suitable institutional arrangements for setting up of Basin Development Authority in RVLB with the corresponding capacity building strategy for an all inclusive, participatory and coordinated planning, regulation, management of water resources of the basin within the framework of integrated water resources management (IWRM) principles. One week training was given for over 50 stakeholders on • International Experience in IWRM and Frame work for sustainable IWRM in RVLB • International and National experience in Integrated rivers and lakes basin Management and RBO • Historical water sector institutional setup in Ethiopia and establishment of RBA • Water Resource Administration and Regulatory Frame works • Environmental Issues and Management in RVLB • Integrated watershed Management • Valuing, Sharing water, Charges and Cost recovery 131.9 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT GIRDC has a strategic vision and mission to promote research and development with relevant and interested GO and NGO working in the sector. Research and development here involves the adaptation of imported technology or the improvement of existing technology on one hand and develop its own capacity to innovate (through research) to over come the prevailing problems on the other. The wise approach is to capitalize both means. As a matter of urgency it may be appropriate for countries like Ethiopia to properly exploit the technologies of other similar countries rather than try to reinvent all. Direct adoption of imported technology or the direct transfer of technology from other countries is not applicable. Thus adaptation, demonstration, promotion and scaling up should be mandated to respective institutions involved in water resources development. In this respect GIRDC has planned to work with GO, NGO and others to identify, import and scaling up improved technologies in water resources and Agricultural development. To this end GIRDC will continue creating a linkage with International consulting firms, research and development institutions, professional associations and others. 1.10 INTERNA TIONAL EXPERIENCE Feasibility study of Land for sugar cane development in Coastal province of Kenya in association with J.P Mukerji and associates of India for Kuwale Sugar PLC Social and Environmental Impact Assessment of Iron Ore development in two western counties of Republic of Liberia in association with W.S Atkins of U.K for Arsenal Mittel 14List of Relevant NIRAS Technical References: Below is the reference list of NIRAS projects/programmes in Agriculture: Agro-processing and Agribusiness Development. and Country Year Donor Quality Infrastructure and Standards Programme - QUISP Uganda Transitional Agnculture Reform Project in Serbia - Set up of Monitoring and Evaluation System 2011-2014 Serbia Sida 2011-2012 World Bank Technical Support to the Implementation of the Programme for Agriculture and Livelihoods in Western Communities (PALWECO) in Kenya Kenya 2011-2015 MFA Finland Support to Agriculture-based economic growth in the Tana Beles Growth Corridor in Amhara Regional National State Ethiopia 2010 MFA Finland Operational Action Plan for Commercial Production of Pulses and Oilseeds in Ethiopia Ethiopia 2009 Agri Business Initiative (aBI) Trust Fund EU Uganda 2010-2014 DANIDA Lindi Mtwara Agribusiness Support Project Tanzania 2010-2014 MFA Finland Tonle Sap Information Communication Technology Project Cambodia 2010-2013 ADB Services For Managing Two Agro Based Value Chains In Ukraine / Agribusiness Component under the Rural Private Sector Development Programme, Ukraine 2010-2012 DANIDA Technical Assistance to the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives (MACO), Support to Agricultural Diversification and Food Security in Western and North Western Provinces Zambia 2008-2011 EU Developing regulations, standards and written guidance for WHO member countries and areas In the Pacific for World Health Organisation, Pacific 2009-2010 WHO PPTA For Nepal Highland Mountain Agribusiness and Livelihood Improvement Project (Himali) Nepal 2009-2010 ADB Trade and Agriculture Support Programme - Tanzania Tanzania Support to PROFIT Smallholder Dairy Industry Development Program Zambia 2010 2007-2010 EU USAID Seed Industry Development ----------------------------------------- Tajikistan Support to Seed Industry -------------------------------- Kyrgyzstan SIDA Trainino Courses on ‘General Tools and Concepts in Agnbusiness SME Development Denmark/ Agri-business Development Component-------------------------------------------------------------------- Uganda DANIDA Quality and Safety Improvement of Agricultural Products Project Vietnam Support to the Development of the Dairy Sector Guatemala 2004-2010 SIDA 2003-2010 2010, 2009, 2008 DFC 2005-2014 2008 -2009 ADB 2007-2009 UNOPS Land re-Parcelting Pilots to foster post-privatisation growth Moldova 2007-2009 World Bank / SIDAr-%u>ii kjh L>amuci A'Wvibc, r-nvaie oecio. uevpioomenl ir* Agriculture Support to developing private agricultural sector, (CASPA) Hi—Mil ll-T!

Identifying the key business constraints in terms of policies and regulations and provide solutions for advocacy and PPP interventions to promote an enabling business environment by enhancing the facilitating and supporting roles of the Government. Examples are alignment of government support schemes, conflicting tax and custom regulations and/or business registrations. • Working with the framework for general Food Quality and Safety Standards. This includes advising governments on supporting laws and regulations; building institutional capacity in managing, monitoring and executing (e.g. prepare guidelines and train inspection staff); preparing manuals on food safety regulations and standards both mandatory and voluntary for various chain actors (e.g. Global GAP for producers and HACCP for processors); and advising on management systems that meet international product quality and safety standards. • Conducting value chain analysis as the cornerstone of the value chain development approach. Working with value chains development analysis provides the means to develop interventions that impact multiple actors including MSMS e.g. input supplier, production, processing plant, transport companies and packaging warehouses. The objective is to ensure growth by promoting the linkages between the various actors such as producers, processors, traders, retailers and consumers and overcome key constraints. Moreover the value chain analysis provides a vehicle in which the institutional and policy/legislative framework for a product chain can be assessed, to design interventions to deal with key constraints arising from this area. • Providing technical support to business development of agricultural MSMEs in business planning, financial management and general supporting entrepreneurial skills. In addition providing support to development of technical skills in terms of specific MSMEs activities as well as supporting on governance and advocacy capability. Furthermore in assisting MSMEs in providing the infrastructural facilities e.g. setting up a warehouse or supporting an SME into becoming a packing enterprise is also fundamental business development support. The support is provided within the objective of linking markets to producers to processors in a process governed by the specific market mechanism of that sector or commodity, adding value to the produce and providing growth through agricultural businesses. • Facilitating the development of Farmers Organisations (FO), Cooperatives and producer groups to ensure the more unified quantityand quality of the primary supply and as means to create micro enterprises in situations where an FO provides particular potential for business development • Providing capacity building and technical assistance to support business development services. Including developing and strengthening the capacity of both public and private service providers to deliver financial and non-financial services; equipment and other input supply. This approach builds on the promoting of more private sector led commercial and demand driven service provision. An important element is to connect service providers and MSMEs and institutionalise cooperation among these. • Providing continuous support and advice in enhancing the delivery of agricultural advisory services to rural areas to improve their capacity to act as incubators for business development. This can be stimulated through advising on links to markets and information as well as to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and skills to increase productivity. In many instances agricultural advisory services are the core support service available and much experience has been gained from improving the capacity of these services to suit the needs of emerging and existing agribusinesses • Promoting national, regional and international trade. Involving support in setting up market information systems, market surveys as to understand the particulars of different end markets players (e.g. retailers). But also advocating and supporting government in building integrated market access and trade facilitation infrastructure both physically and institutional. Identifying new avenues for trade such as Fair trade arrangement or organic produce. • In partnership with local counterparts, providing technical assistance for the assessment, planning and implementation of information technology based solutions. We offer a menu of options that clients could choose from including consultants to e.g assess the needs for technological solutions in agribusiness or the current state of technology in the region. In agribusiness, our approach is to seek solutions for farmers to increase income and to develop the entire value chain through e.g. sharing and receiving information on market prices, crop quality and quantity, harvesting techniques and production problems. • Promoting financial management and facilitating fund management. Support in setting up and manage Funds through which to channel money to support agribusiness development. Provide technical assistance and capacity building within the financial sectors to provide relevant and efficient services/products to agricultural business clients. • Providing technical specialists in crop & livestock production and post harvest management who have experience in using participatory approaches such as farmer field schools (FFS) as well as participatory technology development (PTD) etcProvide experts in learner-cantered capacity building including preparing and managing tailor made training courses on small scale business planning, marketing, financial management as well as technical issues such as pest or seed management. Additionally providing long-term training engagement for example for advisory services with a focus on the Trainer of Trainers (TOT) approach. Provide technical specialists in crop & livestock production and post harvest management who have experience in using participatory approaches, such as farmer field schools (FFS) as well as participatory technology development (PTD), etc. Provide technical experts in gender mainstreaming, as gender inequality may often serve as a constraint or hindrance in agribusiness development. Provide technical experts in climate adaptation in agriculture, to deal with the increasing concern for climatic impact on particular production. Supporting Business to business linkages and improving of trade capacities of developing countries. This involves providing technical assistance to ministries in both donor countries and developing countries in facilitating direct linkages between businesses in donor countries and developing countries. Examples are the Finnish Aid for Trade and the Danish Business2Business Programmes.
