Integrated water management and knowledge transfer in SK Basin

Project area in the Savannah Agro-Ecological Zone of Northern Ghana is characterized by difficult agro-ecological conditions, annual flooding, droughts, poor soils and erratic rainfall, resulting in mainly rain fed farming conditions. The project envisages to introduce modern irrigation and rain fed farming aiming to increase incomes of about 3,000 outgrower smallholder farmers on 6,000 ha producing a variety of crops including maize, legumes, soybean and cotton. The project will develop 150 ha land into fifteen block farms of 10 ha each for outgrowers and 250 ha into a commercial irrigation farm. The intervention contains an extensive training and extension package to sustainably support the behavioural change from traditional into modern farming, introducing irrigation as well as water retention and improved crop management techniques (conservation farming), at the same time ensuring availability of agricultural input supplies, credit facilities and access to secured markets. The project which has significant scaling opportunity, will have an indirect impact on the livelihood of 21,600 people and stimulate employment and economic growth in the North of Ghana.
