The SCAMPIS project - a quick presentation-

1. The SCAMPIS project - a quick presentation- • 3 years duration • 3 countries : India ( Orisas state ) Madagascar Guatemala • Targets : (i) 30,000 smallholders families adopt Gravity-fed low cost Microirrigation Systems ( GMS) to improve their nutrition , food security and income; (ii) a sustainable GMS equipment supply / after sales services chain is established in teh area of intervention; (iii) the experience triggers replication / mainstreaming of the commercial approach to innovation uptake • Funding : 3 millions euros ( 4.4 millions USD) • Partners: COOPERNIC, IFAD, IDEIndia, AVSF, FUNCAFE

2. SCAMPIS Objective : Livelihood support ( income and food security) for smallholders through high-value horticultural production; thanks to the sustainable supply of affordable Gravity-fed Micro-irrigation Systems -GMS, Liquid Organic Fertilizers/Pesticides-LOFP , and accompanying services … Production ? Income generation Nutritional objective Commercial production Self-consumption Area of Irrigated plot 40 m2 100 m2 500 m2 2

3. National policies on horticulture , water management and drip irrigation promotion Technical assistance Training and capacity building Equipment and Input supply Market-orientedapproach to low-cost GMS and LOFP diffusion Poor farming families Local NGOs & producers associations Local suppliers Time-bound, targeted subsidies Promotional activities National suppliers IFAD project’s contribution SCAMPIS ressources use IDEI specific Know-how

4. 3/ Organic fertilization and natural liquid foliar sprays Low-cost / high returns technologies disseminated through SCAMPIS (1) 1/ K 20: Microirrigation “bucket” kits ( 44 or 88 plants-20 sq.m.) 2/ K 100 : “drum kit” for 100+ sq.m.

5. Low-cost / high returns technologies disseminated through SCAMPIS (1) 4/ Human-Powered Pumps and water-lifting devices Treadle pumps for surface water The “rope and washers” pump for deep groundwater:

6. Multiple water sourcing and conveyance modalities can be combined to supply GMSs

7. Documenting outcome (from interviews in India) Longer cropping season Income increase Increase in veg. cropped area ROI < 1 year (Source : SCAMPIS M&E 2010)

8. Even irrigating staple crops ( here, maize in Gajapati district) on small plots during the dry season may be considered worthwhile by SCAMPIS clients

9. market performance Expected market development through SCAMPIS intervention « spontaneous » market development Développement « naturel » du marché threshold Inclusion of smallholders Time Objectif: Purpose : minimize the time span SCAMPIS

10. Role distribution in technology promotion

11. Adoption rate Saturation Maturity IV III Growth II Emergence I Time Technology adoption rate ? Upscaling? Mainstreaming ? SCAMPIS duration

12. Key determinants at introduction stage of a technological innovation Need to quickly work through market forces (involve private sector for dealership and services ) Though the SCAMPIS financing is time-bound, withdrawal from intervention areas is not an option, therefore the post-project sustainability of the supply chain be firmly established (policy support needed) A consequence is that : whereas the initial direct subsidy for equipment purchase appears inevitable to reach the critical mass of adopters in a reasonable time , it must be phased out; a gradually regressive subsidy scheme must be well publicized and understood by clients .

13. Now Future Shifts in SCAMPIS’ role (1) Intervention Supply chain management Direct involvement in order processing , subsidization of equipment purchase Facilitates co-ordination and linkages between supply chain members By SCAMPIS staff directly Gradual handing over to supply chain (dealers) Promotion Quality control Highly controlled and centralized Shifting to supply chain with periodic quality checks by SCAMPIS staff Value chain management for agric.produce Assistance to smallholders’ produce-based organisations for value-chain development Identification of op- portunities and partners

14. Now Future Shifts in SCAMPIS’ role (2) Intervention After sales service Facilitate supply chain and new alternative channels to stock spares Extra spares with product Assistance in getting quality seeds; Validate GMS + LOFP-based fertigation; Train input suppliers and LOFP Small Enterprises, to facilitate appropriate delivery and stock-keeping Quality input supply Agronomic advice Assistance from IFAD-sponsored project + SCAMPIS staff Organize technical support programs using local resource persons from village, govt. officials, NGOs etc.

15. Now Future Shifts in SCAMPIS’ role (3) Intervention Crop selection • Assist in selection of crop to be grown/ diversification • Facilitate training on cost/benefit analysis, production , post-harvest and processing techniques, best practices Nil Information and market access • Facilitate the setting up of agri-services centres ? • Train farmers on how to use information for better returns • Connect farmers with partners for niche markets Nil

16. The technology of low-cost Gravity-fed Micro-irrigation Systems (GMS) is conducive to « self-targeting »: Typology of potential uptakers : Producers with access to market already secured type « C » : 5% of total? farmers +/- involved in specific produce supply chains type « B »: 10 % Subsistence smallholders type « A »: 85 % ? LEGEND: Potential GMS clients Farmers type SCAMPIS essentially targets ( 1/3 ?) of type A producers to help them access to type B …

17. A vision of SCAMPIS as a change agent in its area of intervention….: Producers with access to market already secured type « C » : 5%? NOW: farmers +/- involved in specific produce supply chains type « B »: 10 % ? Subsistence smallholders type « A »: 85 % ? in 10 YEARS: type C : 10 % ? LEGEND: type B : 25 % ? Farmers type Potential Low-cost GMS clients type A : 65 % ? Low-cost GMS users
