| Summary |
Annotation This title provides a history of irrigation management in Mali from colonial times to post-independence. It looks at how irrigation management reforms came about at Mali's Office du Niger and how relevant this reform process is for irrigation schemes in other countries. The authors analyze how field teams, funded by bilateral donors, shaped technical and institutional change to fully reform management and how grain market reforms provided farmers stronger incentives and raised yields |
