The study reviews the experience with irrigation projects in Africa with particular attention to small-scale irrigation in the Sahel. It examines the characteristics of the successful projects in order to determine the basis for future successful projectdesign. It then outlines those factors most critical to the project success, including full and early farmer participation, low cost technologies, an adequate financial return that provides a cash flow to farmers at the time that they need it, and sustainability through groundwater surveys and attention to environmental considerations.
