Irrigation for pro-poor growth after 2000 Agriculture out of fashion – swinging back now in Africa; Growing competition by world markets? Import protection ? A range of forms of water management in agriculture – year-round storage, individual appropriate technologies, rainwater harvesting/soil moisture retention, rainfed agriculture Irrigation – plus: the step large-scale irrigation in arid areas homestead sufficiency

23
Upstream treatment
24
Point of use treatment
25
Water quantity Irrigation planners: ‘domestic uses are negligible volumes’ Issue is year-round availability and siting Competition for new systems and in dry season?
26
Priority domestic uses Overflow to irrigation tank

Gender in participatory planning Example: SADC IWRM demonstration projects Zambia: WWF Katuba and Namwala communities in Kafue basin

From prioritization to short-term vision & action-plan
34
Priorities by zone
