The
effectiveness of smallholder irrigation in using water efficiently
and in generating income is severely limited by women irrigators'

South Africa. Shortcomings and successes of the past are discussed
and recommendations made for improved approaches.

The
story, poster and discussion guide are a suite of materials that
aim to encourage farmer groups and extension staff to look at
the problems of their own schemes in an analytical way. The materials
are designed to be used in group situations, and are particularly
useful among farmers with mixed literacy abilities. The story
is simple to read, easily memorised and lends itself to dramatisation.
The discussion guide, to be used in conjunction with the story
and posters, assists community leaders, agricultural extension
agents and development trainers to organise group sessions. The
guide encourages discussion about the key irrigation and management
issues raised and provides additional information about irrigation
management and marketing in a lively straightforward style.
