Book (stand-alone)Integrated irrigation and aquaculture in West Africa: concepts, practices and potential. 2006This volume contains background documents and papers presented at the FAO-WARDA Workshop on Integrated Irrigation Aquaculture (IIA) held in Bamako, Mali, from 4 to 7 November 2003, as well as the findings of FAO expert missions on IIA in the West Africa region. The rationale for IIA development lies in its potential to increase productivity of scarce freshwater resources for improved livelihoods and to reduce pressure on natural resources, which is particularly important in the drought-prone countries of West Africa where water scarcity, food security and environmental degradation are priority issues for policy makers. Irrigated systems, floodplains and inland valley bottoms are identified as the three main target environments for IIA in West Africa. Many examples of current practices, constraints and potential for development of IIA are provided. Concepts of economic analyses of IIA are reviewed, and an overview of regional and international research institutions and networks an d their mandates as it relates to IIA is given. Key factors for successful adoption of IIA – participation of stakeholders and support for local development; an integrated, multisectoral approach to IIA; and improved knowledge management and networking – indicate the way forward and are reflected in a proposal for IIA development in West Africa.

No results found.A Workshop on Integrated Irrigation Aquaculture was convened by FAO and WARDA from 4 to 7 November 2003 in Bamako, Mali. The Workshop was attended by participants from nine countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal and Chad) as well as resource persons from various projects, universities, and research centers. The main objectives were (i) to review the current achievements and constraints of integrated irrigation aquaculture activities in the West Africa n sub-region, (ii) to develop a common approach and shared methodologies for IIA, and (iii) to elaborate national strategies for the promotion of IIA. It was concluded that the participating countries have significant potential for developing integrated aquaculture activities, particularly in irrigated systems dominated by rice production. This document summarizes the preparation, conduct and recommended follow-up of the workshop.
