The meeting room of the DIST in CNRST was booked for the first day while in the second day, the workshop took place in the conference room of the National Archives Centre. The opening ceremony was made by Dr. Eric Kemp-‐Benedict (SEI/Boston, USA) and Dr. Kaboré Séraphine (INERA/Ouagadougou). After welcoming all attendees of the workshop, Dr. Eric has thanked INERA for its active participation in the 2nd phase of the CPWF program for the Volta Basin and particularly in the V1 project “targeting and scaling out water harvesting interventions for agriculture”. He has outlined the objectives of the workshop, that is, to consult and discuss among actors for the better understanding of the methodology adopted for the V1 research project. The coordinator of the V1 project in INERA (Dr. Kaboré) seconded Dr. Eric and, on behalf of the Director of INERA welcomed the trainer as well as all participants who positively responded to her invitation. She argued that the main objective of the project is to elaborate a reliable tool suitable for scaling out good water management practices and approaches for food production in the Volta Basin. She finally asked attendees to actively work for the success of the workshop. After this ceremony, each attendee was asked to fully present himself. This was followed by two PowerPoint presentations of an overview of the project. Attendees were from INERA, government institutions, NGOs and development projects on water and agriculture.Item Potential for Increasing Agricultural Water Productivity(Other, 2012-06-09) Quandzie, StephenKey findings: The research revealed the following key things about agriculture and agricultural water; that dry season gardening is considered by the indigenes as one of the means by which poverty and transitional (seasonal) hunger can be reduced. Those agriculture water management (AWM) interventions that allow individual farmers to irrigate independently throughout the season (dry) produced crop water consumption factor that was close to the optimum value of zero. For those agriculture water management (AWM) interventions considered within the study area potential to increase agricultural water productivity exist, with the highest existing in gravitational flow based water interventions. The physical crop water productivity (PCWP), economic water productivity (EWP), and agriculture land productivity (ALP) were generally low as compared to FAO values for sub-‐ saharan areas having similar biophysical characters.Item Potential for Increasing Agricultural Water Productivity in the Black Volta Basin, Ghana(Poster, 2012-06-01) Quandzie, StephenThe Black Volta Basin provides a major water resource in Ghana and the Upper West region in particular. Agriculture is the main occupation of majority of the inhabitants, but this is normally done on subsistence basis. The management of water for agricultural purposes under various agricultural water management interventions is key to the levels of productivity, be it physical or economic. Productivity is linked to yields which is greatly affected by either over irrigation or under irrigation.Item Utilisation des Eaux de Pluie en Culture Pluviale: Association Arboriculture Fruitiere et Culture Cerealiere dan le Kenedougou (Ouest du Burkina Faso)(Poster, 2012-07-01) Kekele, AdamaL’agriculture contribue à environ 40 % du PIB et assure emplois et revenus à 86 % des Burkinabé. La forte dépendance des populations rurales vis-à-vis de l’agriculture non irriguée, accentue leur vulnérabilité aux changements climatiques. Cette situation a entraîné des stratégies d’adaptations chez certaines populations rurales, orientées plus vers de nouvelles pratiques culturales au détriment des cultures de rente sous pluies. L’association entre la culture céréalière et celle des arbres est un moyen potentiel pour une bonne gestion des terres agricoles. Aussi, peut-elle être une bonne stratégie de gestion des eaux de pluies en culture pluviale.Item Targeting and scaling up of Agricultural Water Management interventions in the White Volta Basin, Ghana.(Other, 2012-08-01) Granaham, PatriciaKey findings: • From the PGIS survey, six of the interventions (two small reservoirs, earth bunds, stone bunds, treadle pump, water pumps and shallow wells) were identified with the help of key stakeholders to the study. • Increment of farmers’ income-‐ Education of their children, NHIS, roofing sheet for their building and reinvest in next season. Increase yield (e.g. to about 300% of rice at Beo), increase in crop diversity and raising of seedling • With the exception of treadle pump usage which remains the same, the number of farmers adopting the interventions has increased spontaneously. o The high adoption of shallow well at Doba was due to its indigenous nature, increase population, migration of some Burkinabe into the area and the high water table during the early dry seasons. o The reason for stone and earth bunds adoptions increment is mainly due to the availability of the construction material and the apparent improvement in livelihoods of those who started first. o The adoption of the motorized pumps in Pwalugu has also increased from 2007 to 2011. However, due to the cost of pump, 3 women out of the 143 farmers are using pumps. • Farmers and stakeholders consulted claimed apart from Involvement of communities in project, water availability, training on farm management and accessibility market, other input like fertilizer has contributed to the success of the interventions • The developed suitability maps indicated that optimally/highly suitable areas for small reservoirs, stone bunds and earth bunds are located in the eastern part of UER as 5766km2 (66%), 4410km2 (50%) and 6071km2 (69%) of the total area respectively.Item Targeting and Scaling-‐up of Agricultural Water Management Interventions in the Black Volta Basin -‐ Ghana(Other, 2012-09-18) Perpetual Yirenkyiwaa, DiabeneItem CPWF Volta V1 Main Message Poster(Poster, 2013-09-01) CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and FoodReplicating successful agricultural water management interventions in new locations requires consideration of economic, biophysical, institutional, and cultural data. The TAGMI tool offers one way to consider such factors, when targeting agricultural water management interventions.Item Targeting and Scaling Out(Brochure, 2013-01-01) CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and FoodThe project will develop an evidence and know- ledge-based tool to assess and map the likelihood that a given intervention will be successful in given locations, at the basin scale. The project seeks to answer the question of what works where and whyItem Impacts Socio-Economiques des Retenues d'Eau dan la Region Nord du Burkina Faso: Cas de Ninigui, Ziga, et Ouahigouya(Poster, 2013-09-01) Ouédraogo, JoachimLe Burkina Faso, pays soudano-sahélien, est caractérisé par une irrégularité pluviométrique. Dans sa partie sahélienne, la production agricole est faible. Cela oblige les populations à s'orienter vers des stratégies d'adaptation comme la production maraîchère autour des retenues d'eau. C'est le cas de Ziga, Ninigui et de Ouahigouya dans la province du Yatenga.Item Targeting and Scaling-up of Agricultural Water Management Interventions in the Black Volta Basin – Ghana: A CPWF V1 MSc Thesis Project(Poster, 2013-09-01) Diabene, PerpetualMajority of the populace in the Upper West Region of Ghana are small-scale farmers who depend mainly on rain-fed agriculture. However, rainfall pattern is uni-modal (April – September) and variable thus making agriculture quite challenging. This has resulted in poverty and food insecurity with migration down south being on the ascendency especially during the dry season. This research therefore seeks to identify the AWM interventions available in the region, assess their biophysical and socio-economic parameters and up-scale the successful ones to other areas that have similar characteristics.Item Un outil d’aide à la prise de décision pour le ciblage et la dissémination(Brochure, 2013-09-01) Barron, JennieItem Un Outil pour le Ciblage et la Dissémination des Interventions Réussies de Gestion de l’Eau Agricole(Brochure, 2013-09-01) Barron, JennieItem A Targeting and Outscaling Decision Support Tool(Brochure, 2013-09-01) Barron, JennieItem A Tool for Targeting and Scaling-Out Successful Agricultural Water Management Interventions(Brochure, 2013-09-01) Barron, Jennie
