ABSTRACT

The adoption of small-scale pumped irrigation technologies was evaluated using field surveys in Malawi. Four pumped systems were identified, distinguished by ownership (group versus individual) and technology (treadle versus motorized). Farmer access to pumps was either through organizational support (incentivized) or privately (self-motivated), with progression depending on the mode of access and farmers’ attributes. Self-motivated farmers had better socioeconomic status and access to knowledge supporting the pumps’ continued use. Conversely, incentives drive the uptake of other pumps, and the provision of continued external support reinforced their continued use. Farmers need to be supported beyond affordability by safeguarding the availability and maintenance of pumps.

小型抽水灌溉技术的传播及其与马拉维农民主导的灌溉发展的关系

摘要

马拉维通过实地调查对采用小型抽水灌溉技术的情况进行了评估。确定了四个抽水系统,按所有权(组与个人)和技术(踏板与电动)进行区分。农民获得水泵的途径是通过组织支持(激励)或私人(自发),其进展取决于获得方式和农民的属性。积极进取的农民具有更好的社会经济地位,并获得了支持水泵继续使用的知识。相反,激励因素推动了其他泵的使用,持续提供外部支持加强了它们的继续使用。需要通过保障水泵的可用性和维护来为农民提供超出承受能力的支持。
