Rapid rural appraisal of small irrigation schemes in Zimbabwe

Publication year: 
1987

This paper describes experiences in applying RRA techniques and principles to identify rehabilitation requirements of small irrigation systems in Zimbabwe. The authors conclude that the methodology was appropiate given that the schemes were small. Valuable aspects of using a RRA methodology were judged to be self-imposed discipline, the use of checklists, careful organisation and the use of existing information before visiting the schemes.

Interest groups: 
This paper is of use to those interested in applying RRA to community based irrigation work, particularly practitioners and fieldworkers.
