Global programs / TIMP
Nine principles for irrigation water management drawn from A.I.D.'s successful Small Farm, Self-Help Irrigation program in Guatemala are presented and discussed. (1-2) Identify site suitability and benefit potential and locate farmers willing to participate in a self-help project. (3) Determine a funding source prior to the project. (4) Prepare a preliminary plan, including cost estimates, and present it to funding agencies and participating farmers. (5-6) Identify a sponsoring organization committed to working with farmers to improve agricultural production and marketing and work with that organization to provide farmers with technical assistance. (7) Locate or train personnel willing to work with farmers in the field. (8) Carry out seven basic field tasks - form and legally organize farmer groups, conduct basic survey design activities, help farmers arrange financing for the project, supervise and train farmers to build their system, operate and maintain it, and to use agricultural and marketing methods needed for new crops. (9) Extend the program to other areas and regions as appropriate.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal 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.

Districts, regions and facilities named in the program's own documents, not verified sites. Place dots exist for Malawi and Guatemala only so far.
Sample Built from district names in Malawi documents while the full place data loads; it is not yet the finished place list.
Solid: the documents describe the program's work there. Faint: named in the program's documents. Bigger means more mentions. Shown: region or province, district; squares are facilities.

DEC topic and subject tags. They describe the documents, not what the program was. Each tag opens its evidence in the drawer.
Programs worth reading next, by topic, implementer, country and years. Similar by facets (topic, implementer, country, years) and, when available, description. It says the programs look alike, not how they are related in time. Source: catalog facets
