Farmer-led irrigation (FLI) can substantially increase the reliability, quality and yields of agricultural produce, which leads to an increase in incomes and a reduction in poverty. This benefit could be widespread if FLI reaches its expansion potential. However, a lack of affordable credit prevents many smallholders from adopting irrigation technologies such as pumps, pipes and sprinkler systems.
