Abstract:The smallholder irrigation schemes in Zimbabwe have been established to provide food security in low rainfall areas. These schemes have served a well-deserved purpose, except that there was no parallel development of the farmer to enable a complete takeover of the schemes. The result has been that the schemes and the irrigators themselves have remained dependent on government support. There has thus been a noticeable lack of personal commitment and innovativeness. Ref.
