在过去十年中,撒哈拉以南非洲的灌溉发展日益受到重视。在20世纪70年代和80年代令人失望的灌溉业绩之后,它中断了20年。非洲农业生产力持续低下,非洲粮食供应易受国际商品市场日益不稳定的影响,这推动了泛非农业投资倡议,如非洲农业发展综合方案,该方案将提高农业用水控制的可靠性作为优先事项。该文件认为,要使这些举措有效,就需要重新评估撒哈拉以南非洲灌溉发展的当前动态,特别是小规模生产者的举措在扩大灌溉方面的作用。该文件审查了这些举措的主要形式,并认为,官方的叙述和非洲灌溉的统计数字往往低估了这种活动的程度。该文件确定了五个关键特征,它认为,矛盾的广泛持有的假设,告知在非洲的灌溉政策。本文最后提供了一个定义的“农民主导的灌溉”,包括生产者和商业,政府和非政府机构之间的一系列互动,并确定了优先领域的增长潜力和影响的研究,这种互动和战略,为他们的未来发展。
The past decade has witnessed an intensifying focus on the development of irrigation in sub-Saharan Africa. It follows a 20-year hiatus in the wake of disappointing irrigation performance during the 1970s and 1980s. Persistent low productivity in African agriculture and vulnerability of African food supplies to increasing instability in international commodity markets are driving pan-African agricultural investment initiatives, such as the Comprehensive Africa Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP), that identify as a priority the improvement in reliability of water control for agriculture. The paper argues that, for such initiatives to be effective, there needs to be a re-appraisal of current dynamics of irrigation development in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly with respect to the role of small-scale producers’ initiatives in expanding irrigation. The paper reviews the principal forms such initiatives take and argues that official narratives and statistics on African irrigation often underestimate the extent of such activities. The paper identifies five key characteristics which, it argues, contradict widely held assumptions that inform irrigation policy in Africa. The paper concludes by offering a definition of ‘farmer-led irrigation’ that embraces a range of interaction between producers and commercial, government and non-government agencies, and identifies priority areas for research on the growth potential and impact of such interactions and strategies for their future development.
