The International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) organized four strategy themes in order to realize various missions of ICID: ON-FARM, SCHEMES, BASIN and KNOWLEDGE. The Working Groups (WGs) under the theme ON-FARM deal with the application of water at the farm level and the best way to use it to increase the productivity and impacts of application of irrigation water, including its quality at the farm level.After presenting a review of the recent activities of three WGs under the strategy theme ON-FARM, this report suggests the way forward and recommendations to contribute to addressing ICID's mission as follows: to foster sufficient capacity to the extent that ICID can cope with her mission in the future, it is necessary to foster young professionals (YPs) and to develop their capacity through designating a proper training centre from National Committees (NCs) with the cooperation of donor agency, e.g. UNESCO. In addition, it is important that ICID provide and develop an open international platform to involve all relevant stakeholders of water and agriculture, including the private sector.
