Monitoring and Evaluation

The National Program for Sustainable Irrigation (NPSI) invests in research and adoption to improve the sustainability of Australian irrigation. The program aims to address critical environmental management issues, while generating long-term economic and social benefits that ensure Australian irrigation has a sustainable and productive future.

The program is calling for tenders from suitably qualified and experienced contractors to lead, develop, coordinate and report on the monitoring and evaluation of the National Program for Sustainable Irrigation.

NPSI will achieve many of its outcomes through the projects it funds. However, through its collaborative arrangements, NPSI aims to be more than simply the sum of its projects. The monitoring and evaluation framework will need to capture both project and program level achievements.
