The case studies presented here have been developed through a set of training workshops in Nepal with engineers and managers from the Department of Irrigation (DOI) and the Department of Agriculture (DOA) in 2003 and 2006. The report has several purposes: ?produce food for thought for decision-makers in Nepal before engaging in investment plans, particularly on how to ensure that diagnosis and solutions are investigated properly in modernization projects; ?suggest some specific strategies to managers of the two systems investigated on how they should undertake modernization of the management; ?introduce the MASSCOT exercise to a large audience through real-case application.
