The study reveals significant potential for investing in dry-season small-scale irrigation in Ethiopia, with specific geographic domains identified as having the highest investment opportunities. The use of agent-based modeling system helps assess the potential of such development in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Sub-Saharan Africa has long been beset with food insecurity. Investment in small-scale irrigation may provide a solution to address the challenge by extending crop production into the dry season. We present an agent-based modeling system to assess the potential of dry-season small-irrigation development in Sub-Saharan Africa with an application to Ethiopia. We identify significant potential for investing in dry-season small-scale irrigation in Ethiopia and map geographic domains with highest investment opportunities.
