Innovation in Microirrigation for dryland farmers

This project will start in October 2009 and was designed to address a crucial natural resource management challenge facing the world today: the need for effective strategies and methods to help communities in dryland areas to improve their management of scarce water resources. Throughout Africa, and particularly in dryland areas, access to adequate quantity and quality of water is among the greatest constraints to both development and habitat protection. The efficient use of scarce water resources is therefore key to both economic progress environmental quality. This project will support capacity-building, pilot investments and dissemination activities around micro-irrigation and sustainable and management (SLM), in an integrated way.The objective of the project will be to contribute to sustainable land management in order to maintain and improve ecosystem health, stability, integrity, functions and services, and at the same time support sustainable livelihoods in Senegal
