After running a pilot-program in Tanzania from 2015 to 2018, Norwegian Church Aid (NCA) is now in the scale-up phase in both Tanzania and Malawi. The project intends to facilitate access to affordable and highly profitable investments, i.e. micro investments. By offering reasonably priced micro investment kits that includes irrigation equipment, seeds, and fertiliser, local farmers are enabled to increase their farming productivity. In addition to providing training to the farmers, agronomists follow up to ensure best practice. With the profits they earn from their crops, the farmers can invest in additional investment kits, which will enable them to scale up their business additionally.
Drip irrigation is at the core of these investments. Small drip kits that are affordable and easy to use for the farmers. The name of the solution promoted by NCA is the “Veggie Bed”. A 16 m x 1 m meter raised irrigated vegetable bed with two drip lines, connectors, and 3 m feed pipe. For picture, see Figure 1. The impact as well as the project is growing and Norwegian Church Aid is looking to scale up the project and is interested in entering into a framework agreement for equipment that is necessary for the water irrigation system, either in bulk or “kit’ified”.
