چکیده
Description: Support to smallholder irrigation agriculture by virtue of establishing smalland medium-scale irrigation perimeters along the Eastern and South-Eastern slopes of Mt Kenya. In the first two phases (phase III ongoing, phase IV under preparation) approx. 2,700 smallholder farmers benefited from the establishment of 1,785 hectares of newly irrigated land (6 perimeters with altogether 473 ha in Phase I; 9 Perimeters with 1,312 ha in Phase II); farmers’ self-help groups transformed themselves into irrigation cooperatives to become eligible for programme funding. They then received investment funding through local partner banks: 50% of German Financial Cooperation (FC) funds were provided on a loan basis, the other half on a grant basis. Complementary training in production methods, irrigation mgt. and organisational development was provided through GIZ (previously DED).
