The Government of the Kingdom of Morocco has obtained a loan from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and intends to use part of the proceeds of this loan to make payments under the contract for: "Establishment of a pilot irrigation observatory within the Tadla irrigated perimeter, covering the provinces of Fquih Ben Salah, Béni Mellal, and Azilal, Morocco", within the framework of the "Resilient and Sustainable Water in Agriculture" (REDI) project.

The REDI project aims to strengthen irrigation governance, improve irrigation service quality, and increase access to agricultural advisory services and modern plot irrigation technologies in its intervention area.

The services covered by this call for expressions of interest have the general objective of establishing an irrigation observatory at the Tadla irrigated perimeter level. This observatory will be responsible for centralizing and structuring irrigation-related data, as well as monitoring and analyzing the performance and impacts of modernization programs. It will serve as a decision-support tool to optimize the economic, social, and environmental efficiency of irrigation systems, strengthen strategic management of the irrigated perimeter, promote sustainable water resource management, and evaluate the results of implemented modernization programs.

The specific objectives of the mission include:

• Evaluating the impacts of irrigation system modernization on water consumption, water productivity, needs satisfaction rate, and overall agricultural production.
• Improving knowledge of water savings (efficiency of transport, distribution, and plot-level water use), by integrating remote sensing and water accounting.
• Measuring water valorization, particularly the economic and social gains generated per unit of water consumed.
• Strengthening environmental monitoring, especially of groundwater resources, energy consumption, and input use.
• Improving decision support through an interactive WebGIS platform generating dynamic dashboards for territorialized management.
