This presentation will show an alternativeto ‘traditional’ investment projects for agricultural development of inland valleys
![Page 4: An alternative rice development approach for inland valleys](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a1e31b1a28ab85508b4586/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
‘Traditional’ investments project develop:- Concrete structures including
canals, weirs, divers, etc.- Stone dams
Bottlenecks- Short project period - Slow process (tenders)- Low quality of works- No ownership = no maintenance

Requirements for sustainable implementation:- Strong farmers organization- Continued support (from extension agencies)- Land tenure arrangements- Access to credits and markets

AfricaRice development methodology
• Participatory• Low-cost• Easy to replicate
5 steps approach in which farmers are participating

1. Sensitization of farmers
2. Land clearing
3. Design of the system
4. System implementation
5. Rice cultivation

The way forward
1. Long-term support and capacity building to farmers, extension staff and NGOs
2. Slow, step-by-step introduction of new agricultural practices and tools to farmers(participatory evaluation)
3. Strengthening farmer organization and linking them to the rice value chain(Multi-Stakeholder Platforms)
![Page 19: An alternative rice development approach for inland valleys](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a1e31b1a28ab85508b4586/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The way forward
1. Long-term support and capacity building to farmers, extension staff and NGOs
• Training package and discussion video being developed
• Trainings organized for field technicians, on the approach, but also sustainable introduction of field machinery (powertillers, mechanic weeders)
![Page 20: An alternative rice development approach for inland valleys](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a1e31b1a28ab85508b4586/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The way forward
2. Slow, step-by-step introduction of new agricultural practices and tools to farmers(participatory evaluation)
• Extension officer and field technicians are being trained in good agricultural practices
• Farmers in demonstration sites are exposed to GAP
• Farmers in demonstration sites participate in evaluation of mechanic weeders & powertillers

The way forward
3. Strengthening farmer organization and linking them to the rice value chain
Multi-Stakeholder Platforms to link producers to input dealers, rice buyers/millers, banks, extension services
