Abstract
The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research-Crop Research Institute (CSIR-CRI) sourced financial assistance from the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), to expand the irrigation facilities on the research fields with the main aim of ensuring continued irrigation of research trial fields all–year round. The overall objective of the project was to enhance the crop improvement and technology development capacity of the Crops Research Institute to promote food security and improve livelihoods of smallholder farmers and processors in Ghana. Sprinkler and drip irrigation systems were proposed for installation on the research fields at CSIR-CRI. The fund provided by AGRA was earmarked for land preparation towards the installation of both the drip and sprinkler irrigation systems and for the installation of the drip irrigation system.
