| Résumé : |
The technical Cooperation in Supporting Service Delivery Systems of Irrigated Agriculture (TC-SDIA, commonly known as TANRICE)has been working in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Environment (MALE) in Zanzibar since September 2009. The purpose of TANRICE is to increase productivity of rice cultivation in priority irrigation schemes through strengthening service delivery systems of irrigated agriculture in Tanzania. TANRICE has adopted the farmer-to-farmer extension approach and information obtained from irrigation schemes. At Mtwango irrigation scheme situated at West District of Zanzibar, TANRICE conducted standard training that consisted of baseline survey, residential training and infield trainings betwen December 2009 and July 2010. TANRICE trained 16 key farmers with gender consideration on best race farming technologies from an irrigated rice scheme. Each of the key farmers formed a group of 16 farmers in the scheme through which the technology was further transferred to the whole scheme. The efficiency of the approach has been measured in terms of rate of adoption of innovation, attendance and participation during the training sessions as well as yield. The results have shown that generally farmer-to-farmer agricultural extension approach has achieved positive results. Farmers at Mtwango have increased their seasonal yield as a result of applying the best rice practices in the field. There was an average of 90% in the attendance and participation of the training sessions. From this study, it’s been also noted that the adaptability of the farmer-to-farmer agricultural extension approach method depends to the location and culture of the farmers in Tanzania and research should be conducted before adopting the approach. |
