N2  - The book describes the planning, development, implementation and evaluation of training and institutional development activities of the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID) in Malaysia. Part I provides the background to the activity, outlining the conceptual framework and the training principles and techniques applied to this exercise, and gives a brief description of the historical development and present situation of irrigation in Malaysia. Part II contains four chapters describing the extensive training needs and organizational constraints assessment (TNA) exercise which involved over 320 staff members from all levels within DID and other irrigation agencies in Malaysia and which provided the basis for the subsequent development of a training program designed to meet these needs. The results of the TNA exercise provided the basis for developing management training programs for DID, and is described in Part III. Part IV is composed of three chapters dealing with the involvement of DID top officials in all phases of the training program, including the TNA. Part V deals with improving the capacity of DID and other organizations to conduct effective research into irrigation management issues. Part VI presents the general conclusions arising from the entire exercise
