The small holder irrigation schemes have been existing in Zimbabwe for the best part of 50 years. Their establishment was geared initially towards providing food security in low rainfall areas, thus reducing or minimizing inter-regional maize transfers. These schemes can be said to have served a well- deserved purpose, except that there was no parallel development of the farmer to enable a complete take-over of the schemes through aself-sustained management system. The result has been that irrigation schemes in communal areas and indeed the irrigators themselves have remained dependent on government's support. There has thus been a noticeable lack of personal commitment and innovativeness.
