Poverty rates have remained stubbornly high in Mozambique despite strong and sustained economic growth between 2005 and 2015. Increasing the productivity of smallholder agriculture has enormous potential to contribute to largescale poverty alleviation, but is constrained by a number of factors, including low adoption of modern technologies and practices, limited access to financial services and extension support, and poor infrastructure. In response to some of these difficulties, theWorld Bank and the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security developed the Mozambique Sustainable Irrigation Project (PROIRRI) between 2011 and 2018, with the primary development objective to raise farm productivity in new or improved irrigation schemes and increase agricultural production marketed in the provinces of Sofala, Manica and Zambézia.
