IPTRID is the acronym for the International Program for Technology and Research in Irrigation and Drainage. IPTRID was established in 1990 and originally hosted by the World Bank in Washington DC. The programme found a new institutional home in 1998 when the secretariat moved to Rome to be hosted by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

More text about why the program was set up, who funded it and what it did will follow. This will be divided into the time in Washington and then in Rome. The changing technical programme and the way it has been funded along with the various phases of its vision will be discussed. Links will be made to significant outputs the current programme and how to contact the secretariat.
