- Yes. Irrigation increases nutrition and incomes and buffers against climate risk. Households were able to build up their assets, reinvest in agricultural production and achieve a step change in their livelihood since starting to irrigate. BUT the poor (with few assets) are getting left behind and impacts on non-irrigators are very mixed. A focus on equity and complementary investments to build up the assets of the poor are needed. Small producers also face a host of other constraints and risks – e.g. markets, inputs, credit - and complementary investments are needed to tackle these. Water shortages are already starting to bite. Irrigation for all, with 80% staying in agriculture, will not be possible - especially under CC. Same will apply to MUS. Can irrigation act as a stepping stone out of farming by increasing opportunities for non-farm activities? Multipliers are weak in Ethiopia and little evidence of this in short term, but increased spending on children’s education thanks to irrigation suggests a long term pathway.
