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
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 …

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 .

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:
Farmers type
Potential GMS clients
SCAMPIS essentially targets ( 1/3 ?) of type A producers to help them access to type B …
A vision of SCAMPIS as a change agent in its area of intervention….:
Producers with access to market already secured
type « C » : 5%?
NOW:

Subsistence smallholders
