Irrigation performance tools
Irrigation performance tool of Office du Niger (IPON)
IPON focuses on the Office du Niger irrigation scheme, near Ségou, northwest of Bamako. It is Mali's most important irrigation scheme, primarily producing rice and sugarcane for national food security.

IWPAT focuses on the Northern Jordan Valley, an intensely irrigated area producing citrus, vegetables and dates through a piped surface water irrigation network in an arid environment.
Irrigation schedulling tools
The tool is implemented in the Bouheurtma irrigation scheme in Jendouba, in northwest Tunisia’s “water tower”. The scheme covers 13 500 hectares in the Middle Medjerda Valley and primarily supports wheat production within integrated cereal–livestock systems, playing a key role in regional food security and agricultural livelihoods.
