This paper describes the managerial problems which resulted when USAID decided to support the Malian Government's action in introducing diesel pumpsets for irrigated wheat-growing in a remote area of Northern Mali. To economize on costs, Indian pumps were ordered for 250 farmers who were already growing wheat by "calabash" irrigation. In a first phase of activity, the Mali Government managed the programme and evinced great problems in supplying inputs and in recovering credit. Financial irregularities brought about a freeze on donor funding, and led to a second phase under USAID's direct management. However, some of the same problems reappeared, and once again, the Project was unable to insure timely planting, adequate fuel, and effective mechanical services. Key factors which contributed to the low apparent efficiency of irrigated wheat production were: Farmer's lack of understanding of the importance of maintenance, the lack of an in-country parts' supplier once the pump model was phased out by the manufacturer, and the difficulty of arranging logistic and service support to villages in isolated settings. The lesson which this case teaches is that inadequate support services and fuel may be just as significant constraints upon smallholder irrigation as are shortages of water. In trying to minimize farmer's natural risks, the Action Ble-Dire project made farmers more subject to institutional risks. These in turn negated many of the project's intended benefits.
