The Board of Directors exercises the powers and functions of NIA.
The Secretary of the Office of the Cabinet Secretary was designated Acting Chairperson of the NIA Board of Directors by virtue of Memorandum from the Executive Secretary – Office of the President. Before this, the Secretary of the Office of the Presidential Assistant for Food Security and Agricultural Modernization served as Board Chairman.
Pursuant to PD 552:
The Rationalization Plan (RPlan) for NIA was authorized under Executive Orders 366 (2004) and 718 (2008). NIA's RPlan aims to improve the delivery of service and productivity thru the merger of offices and streamlining their functions; and the creation of irrigation management offices out of the irrigation systems offices and provincial irrigation offices.
The Internal Audit Service and Irrigation Engineering Center are new offices in the central office created under the RPlan. Certain functions and responsibilities that used to be lodged at the central office are decentralized to the field offices. The Irrigation Management Transfer Program is a major component of the RPlan. NIA started implementing its five-year phased Rationalization Plan in 2008.
The Administrator is NIA's chief executive officer. He is supported by a Senior Deputy Administrator and two Deputy Administrators: for engineering and operations; and administrative and finance. The central office issues guidelines and policies and exercises control over field operations.
Decentralization of functions is carried out through delegation of various authorities to field offices.
There are 15 RIOs, each headed by a Regional Irrigation Manager (RIM). These offices are responsible for implementing the plans, programs, and policies of the Agency within their respective regions.
The RIOs also provide oversight and supervision to the Irrigation Management Offices (IMOs) under their jurisdiction.
There are two Integrated Irrigation Systems, each managed by an Operations Manager:
These managers are responsible for overseeing operations related to the two major reservoir systems.
There are 61 IMOs, each headed by a Division Manager. IMOs are responsible for the construction, rehabilitation, operation, and maintenance (O&M) of irrigation projects and systems within one province or a group of provinces.
They work in collaboration with farmer-beneficiaries in implementing O&M plans.
Provinces with national irrigation systems covering less than 3,000 hectares are clustered into an IMO. Instead, they remain under the direct supervision of the RIO. These include:
A satellite office was established to support operations.
PMOs are headed by Project Managers and are responsible for the implementation of foreign-assisted and locally funded projects. They directly handle the execution, coordination, and monitoring of project activities.
The Project Manager reports directly to the Administrator through the Deputy Administrator for Engineering and Operations and the concerned RIM.
Locally funded projects, on the other hand, are implemented by the RIOs through the IMOs or a team headed by a Project Engineer.

Ginagamit ng Board of Directors ang mga kapangyarihan at tungkulin ng NIA.
Ang Secretary ng Office of the Cabinet Secretary ay itinalaga bilang Acting Chairperson ng NIA Board of Directors sa bisa ng Memorandum from the Executive Secretary – Office of the President. Bago ito, ang Secretary ng Office of the Presidential Assistant for Food Security and Agricultural Modernization ang nagsilbi bilang Board Chairman.
Ayon sa PD 552:
Ang Rationalization Plan (RPlan) para sa NIA ay pinahintulutan sa ilalim ng Executive Orders 366 (2004) at 718 (2008). Layunin ng RPlan ng NIA na pagbutihin ang paghahatid ng serbisyo at pagiging produktibo sa pamamagitan ng pagsasama ng mga opisina at pagpapasimple ng kanilang mga tungkulin; at paglikha ng mga irrigation management offices mula sa mga irrigation systems offices at provincial irrigation offices.
Ang Internal Audit Service at Irrigation Engineering Center ay mga bagong opisina sa central office na nilikha sa ilalim ng RPlan. Ang ilang tungkulin at responsibilidad na dating nasa central office ay inilipat sa mga field offices. Ang Irrigation Management Transfer Program ay isang pangunahing bahagi ng RPlan. Sinimulang ipatupad ng NIA ang limang taong unti-unting Rationalization Plan noong 2008.
Ang Administrator ang chief executive officer ng NIA. Siya ay tinutulungan ng isang Senior Deputy Administrator at dalawang Deputy Administrators: para sa engineering and operations; at administrative and finance. Ang central office ay naglalabas ng mga gabay at patakaran at nangangasiwa sa mga field operations.
Ang decentralization ng mga tungkulin ay isinasagawa sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng iba't ibang awtoridad sa mga field offices.
Mayroong 15 RIOs, bawat isa ay pinamumunuan ng isang Regional Irrigation Manager (RIM). Ang mga opisinang ito ang responsable sa pagpapatupad ng mga plano, programa, at patakaran ng Agency sa kani-kanilang mga rehiyon.
Ang mga RIOs ay nagbibigay din ng oversight at supervision sa mga Irrigation Management Offices (IMOs) na nasa ilalim ng kanilang hurisdiksyon.
May dalawang Integrated Irrigation Systems, bawat isa ay pinamamahalaan ng isang Operations Manager:
Ang mga managers na ito ang responsable sa pangangasiwa sa mga operasyon na may kinalaman sa dalawang pangunahing reservoir systems.
Mayroong 61 IMOs, at bawat isa ay pinamumunuan ng isang Division Manager. Ang mga IMO ay responsable sa pagtatayo, rehabilitasyon, operasyon, at maintenance (O&M) ng mga irrigation project at system sa loob ng isang lalawigan o grupo ng mga lalawigan.
Nakikipagtulungan sila sa mga farmer-beneficiary sa pagpapatupad ng mga O&M plan.
Ang mga lalawigan na may national irrigation system na sumasaklaw sa mas mababa sa 3,000 hectares ay pinagsama-sama sa isang IMO. Sa halip, nananatili sila sa ilalim ng direktang pangangasiwa ng RIO. Kabilang dito ang:
Isang satellite office ang itinatag upang suportahan ang mga operasyon.
Ang mga PMO ay pinamumunuan ng mga Project Manager at responsable sa pagpapatupad ng mga foreign-assisted at locally funded project. Sila ang direktang humahawak sa execution, coordination, at monitoring ng mga project activity.
Ang Project Manager ay direktang nag-uulat sa Administrator sa pamamagitan ng Deputy Administrator for Engineering and Operations at ng concerned na RIM.
Ang mga locally funded project, sa kabilang banda, ay ipinapatupad ng mga RIO sa pamamagitan ng mga IMO o ng isang team na pinamumunuan ng isang Project Engineer.
