与亚洲许多地区的大规模正规灌溉计划有着悠久历史不同，非洲的有组织灌溉项目是一个相对较新的概念。在非洲，苏丹的Gezira计划可能是最著名的，目前包括尼日利亚在内的其他国家正在规划和建造类似的大型项目。这些计划被视为在降雨量不足或不可靠的地区确保粮食供应的一种手段，不利于作物生产。在非洲，尼日利亚的不同寻常之处在于，它不仅有发展灌溉的愿望，而且还有来自石油收入的财政资源，以实施其雄心勃勃的计划。然而，政策的执行遇到了困难，其他有类似计划的国家应该注意到这些困难。
In contrast to many parts of Asia, where large-scale formal irrigation schemes have a long history, organised irrigation projects in Africa are a relatively new concept. In Africa the Gezira scheme in the Sudan is perhaps the best known and similar large projects are now being planned and constructed in other countries including Nigeria. These schemes are seen as a means of ensuring food supplies in areas where rainfall is inadequate or unreliable for successful crop production. In Africa, Nigeria is unusual in having not only the desire to develop irrigation but also the financial resources from oil revenues to implement its ambitious plans. The implementation of policy has, however, encountered difficulties which should be heeded by other countries having similar plans.
