The Effects of Change Management Practices on Organizational Performance: The Case of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa (1)
The interpretation of results shows that the actual land productivity of Ntende and Kiliba irrigation schemes is generally lower compared to their potentials of 6 tons/ha and 6.1 tons/ha respectively. Ntende irrigation scheme was found to perform better in terms of land productivity compared to Kiliba due to the fact that the inputs (fertilizers). This increases the willingness of farmers in rice crop investment. On the other hand Kiliba irrigation scheme is more productive in terms of water productivity (output per unit irrigated area) due to the fact that its farmers practice deficit irrigation in order to maximize returns on water. The values of RIS showed that irrigation demands in Kiliba were not met by irrigation supplies while in Ntende irrigation scheme the irrigation supplies met demands. The water delivery capacity (WDC) values found for both schemes in study showed that the existing irrigation canals are able to meet the maximum (peak) irrigation water requirements. This means that both irrigation systems' designs are not constraining the agricultural production. The analysis of both indicators which evaluate the financial performance of an irrigated land showed that Ntende irrigation scheme is better in terms of gross return on investment and financial self-sufficiency. This is due to the higher rice yields and their water fees collection policy which helps farmers to pay water fees on time in this scheme. On the other hand farmers of Kiliba do not pay water fees in a right way and the government subsidizes some of O&M costs of this scheme. In addition to this rice yields in this scheme were found to be lower compared to that of Ntende. The identification of performance gap helped to propose appropriate improvement options that will enhance the agricultural productivity and achieve sustainability in each irrigation scheme. The main recommendations made in this study include: improvements in irrigation schedules according to the cropping pattern, adopt proposed agricultural input (fertilizers), promote extensio n services (train farmers on the agricultural water use and utilization of agricultural inputs) and improvements in water charging. .
