Smallholder irrigation technology diffusion in Ghana: Insights from stakeholder mapping by Atuobi-Yeboah, Afua, Aberman, Noora-Lisa, Ringler, Claudia

“…In northern Ghana, on the other hand, farmers are considered to be key influencers, although participants noted that much of this was potential influence, together with a larger and more diversified set of government stakeholders that are seen as regulators and possibly gatekeepers. For irrigation diffusion to successfully move from importation to distribution to benefiting smallholder farmers, all of these actors have to come together to better understand farmers’ needs and challenges. …”
