This paper discusses the global review on the present status of irrigation development and management in line with stakeholders' understanding and practices on Irrigation Vision 2030. The elucidation has addressed the related issues, with institutional and organizational aspects as the fundamental mechanism of stakeholder coordination. In line with the effort to comprehend the underlying status of irrigation and drainage development and management, five determinant aspects have been scrutinized in the analysis. These are: (i) human resources; (ii) institution and organization; (iii) technology for sustainable operation and maintenance (O & M); (iv) sustainable O&M funding; (v) effective regulatory instruments and enforcement. Particularly in the field of agricultural water management (AWM), it has been evident from a number of previous experiences that the absence or imbalance of an integrated relationship among any of the five aspects would bring about ineffectiveness of infrastructural functions. Therefore, institutional and organizational aspects must be reformed in line with the future direction stated by the ICID Vision 2030, among others for improving the crucial role of stakeholders toward sustainable AWM.
