The objectives of the project are the following:

• Define the requirements for the adaptation to climate change of small-scale irrigation schemes in the main agro-ecological zones in West and Central Africa.
• Assist small-scale farmers in the West and Central Africa region in adapting small-scale irrigation schemes to climate change.

The project outcomes are:

• Provide up-to-date information on vulnerability of small-scale irrigation schemes to climate change for the main agro-ecological systems in the West and Central Africa region.
• Create reference guides on the adaptation of small-scale irrigation to climate change.
• Disseminate these information to key stakeholders in order to enable them to benefit from climate change adaptation by making the right decision on improved small-scale irrigation practices to preserve their agro-ecosystems.
