“…In most countries, but notably Ghana, South Africa, Mali and Mozambique, the annual growth rate of conventionally irrigated areas actually dropped to zero by the year 2000, though increased in Kenya, Nigeria and Senegal between 2000(Svendsen et al 2009 As public spending on agriculture declined, international development banks and agencies promoted IMT and the formation of WUAs as a mechanism to reduce government spending, as well as to increase farmer 'ownership' of irrigation schemes (Turral 1995). The first wave of WUAs in the 1980s and 1990s in West African countries such as Senegal, Burkina Faso and Mali aimed to simultaneously decentralize and upgrade the management of existing irrigation systems, while reducing the costs for governments (Aw and Diemer 2005;Wellens et al 2013;Wester et al 1995).

“…Under these conditions, the public sector placed more responsibilities on irrigation water users (Aw and Diemer 2005;Wester et al 1995). The often abrupt disengagement of public irrigation agencies contributed to improper O&M of the irrigation systems by WUAs (Vandersypen et al 2007;Wellens et al 2013).…”
