The paper examines the opportunities for increased investment in SSWCS activities, particularly in the African countries most affected by the recent drought cycles. Such schemes can both contribute to community level food production and security and also show a comparative advantage in the effectiveness with which they utilize of scarce resources as foreign exchange and technical and managerial skills. The paper briefly reviews the historic experience of irrigation in general in the Sub-Saharan region and then, on the basis of more detailed country reviews, presents options for future SSWCS developments. In Chapter 5, approaches to SSWCS programme preparation are presented through an elaboration of the types of considerations, criteria and possible organizational arrangements that should be covered to permit project appraisal by a multilateral financing agency. The paper concludes with recommendations concerning development strategies and proposes future activities.
