Senegal programs / Senegal project 685-0208 · 1977–1990 · Agricultural Cooperative Development International (ACDI)
Project to introduce small-scale irrigated agriculture in 23 villages along the Senegal River near Bakel, along with improved practices for traditional dryland crops and expanded health services. At least one small perimeter area, 30-50 ha in size, will be irrigated in each village, for a total of over 1,800 ha. Village cooperatives will manage the irrigated perimeters. SAED (Societe d'Amenagement et d'Exploitation des Terre du Delta et de la Vallee du Fleuve Senegal et de la Faleme) will implement the project with help from SERDA, a Senegalese consulting firm. Components include: (1) Farm construction: Supervised by SAED technical agents, villagers will construct all irrigation works - canals, laterals, field bunds, drains, and small dikes - by hand; diesel powered pumps will be installed on small rafts to draw water from the Senegal River or from swamps. (2) TA: Advisors will help farmers with the agronomic aspects of irrigated farming. A small field trial station will be built to test the packages before presentation to farmers; farmers will also visit similar projects for training. (3) Central infrastructure: Houses, a workshop, a warehouse, and vehicles. (4) Farm inpu

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from design document year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
A few documents to read first. Each opens in the side panel, with the PDF to download.
