This paper tries to identify the circumstances in which small farm development strategies are feasible and represent an economically efficient approach to achieving the increases in food production, consumption, and employment that are necessary conditions for economic and social progress in developing countries and (2) to examine the prospects and the means for overcoming the formidable obstacles to the design and implementation of dispersal strategies leading to widespread increases in productivity and output among a large and growing percentage of the small farm units that inevitably predominate in most low-income and many middle income countries.

In Tanzania agriculture is the basis of development. Until recently this has been entirely rainfed agriculture. In 1972 the TANU political party (Chama) formulated an irrigation policy and in 1974 Chama decided to give new emphasis to small-scale irrigation projects. The author is interested in focussing on the issue of local organization of the Tanzanian small-scale irrigation projects. He suggests models of organizing and operating the small-scale irrigation systems based on the Tanzanian formal village organization.
