Technical Cooperation Project on Community-Based Smallholder Irrigation, The Republic of Zambia |

2013 - 2017
Rather than waiting for a support from outside, why don’t we try something we can do first? To materialize a self-help philosophy, this Project aims to strengthen the capacity of smallholder farmers in irrigation development. Bringing the extension officers in the field of irrigation development, which is backed up by the engineers, smallholder irrigation development is maximized through the capacity development approach. In this project, a total of 35 irrigation officers are being trained in the planning, designing, construction, and operation and management of permanent-type irrigation facilities and also 150 agricultural extension officers in the construction of cost-effective simple irrigation schemes coupled with the improved irrigated agriculture and marketing. |
