Abstract
This project will identify current challenges, and design and test innovative user-driven approaches that enhance the economic gains of government-funded and farmer-led irrigation schemes in Gaza and Manica provinces, towards improvement of economic efficiency and sustainability of irrigation schemes in Mozambique. The project will combine technical (soil and water management practices), social (business plans and market linkages) and institutional (innovation platforms and water-user associations) innovations in the ongoing schemes to compare changes in their management, productivity and profitability for farmers.
