| description |
Irrigation development in Rwanda is
typically not demand-driven. Existing irrigation
developments have mostly resulted from government-led
initiatives and donor support with the aim of achieving food
security. A few irrigation projects have also been initiated
by private commercial farmers and smallholder farmers with
use of small-scale irrigation technology (SSIT). Farmer-led
irrigation development (FLID) is defined as a process by
which small-scale farmers or commercial farmers drive the
establishment, improvement, and/or expansion of irrigated
agriculture, often in interaction with external actors. It
typically involves entrepreneurial investments by farmers
either alone or in groups. For the FLID supply chain to be
effective and efficient, several key private and public
sector participants are involved. Districts, sectors, and
offices are key stakeholders that deliver agriculture
extension and advisory services and serve as focal points
representing the needs of local communities and coordinating
multisector responses. Regarding FLID financing, the
government has attempted to reform policies and increase
access by smallholder farmers to financial services. As a
result, different commercial banks both public and private,
MFIs, and other financial service providers continue to
expand their financial services to poor rural communities,
especially smallholder farmers. |
