Download or read book Agricultural mechanization policy options in Rwanda written by Takeshima, Hiroyuki and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2024-05-13 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper summarizes general demand- and supply-side issues for agricultural mechanization based on recent studies that focus on experiences and evidence from both Africa and Asia. The paper pro vides typologies of agricultural mechanization in Rwanda along with policy options within the context of its current mechanization support strategies. Provincial variations in agroecology and cropping systems, irrigated/rainfed systems, farm size, and labor use intensity, among other factors, characterize the key types of mechanization use in Rwanda. Support for mechanization in Rwanda can be broadly tailored to (a) irrigated medium-scale farmers in the Eastern province and Kigali; (b) rainfed medium-scale farmers in the Eastern and Southern provinces; (c) rainfed, small-scale highland farmers in the Northern province; and (d) irrigated small-scale farmers in the Western province. Recent experiences in other countries with rugged terrain and smallholder farming systems similar to Rwanda suggest that significant growth in the use of tractors is possible in the medium term among smallholders cultivating rainfed maize and legumes, in addition to irrigated rice. However, farm wages may still be too low in Rwanda and tractor-hiring fees may still be too high to induce a shift to mechanization in the short term. Therefore, it may be advisable for policy support for mechanization to focus on improving the understanding of mechanization needs among each type of farmers identified, knowledge of suitable machines, and required skills for their operations and maintenance. Such efforts should also balance the need to develop competitive markets and supply networks for promising machines, parts, and repair services at a viable and integrated market scale.

Book excerpt: We examine the impact of ambiguous and contested land rights on investment and productivity in agricultural in Akwapim, Ghana. We show that individuals who hold powerful positions in a local political hierarchy have more secure tenure rights, and that as a consequence they invest more in land fertility and have substantially higher output. The intensity of investments on different plots cultivated by a given individual correspond to that individual's security of tenure over those specific plots, and in turn to the individual's position in the political hierarchy relevant to those specific plots. We interpret these results in the context of a simple model of the political allocation of land rights in local matrilineages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Citing a paucity of empirical evidence on the poverty and distributional impacts of trade policy reform in Ghana as the main motivation for this volume, the editors (both of the Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research at the U. of Ghana) present eleven papers that combine theory and econometric analysis in an effort to assess linkages between globalization, trade, and poverty (including gendered aspects). Specific topics examined include manufacturing employment and wage effects of trade liberalization; the influence of education on trade liberalization impacts on household welfare; trade liberalization and manufacturing firm productivity; the impact of elimination of trade taxes on poverty and income distribution; food prices, tax reforms, and consumer welfare under trade liberalization; impacts on tariff revenues; and impacts on cash cropping, gender, and household welfare; Distributed in the US by Stylus.

Download or read book Settlement and Development in the River Blindness Control Zone written by Della E. McMillan and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1992 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the summary report of the Land Settlement Review (LSR), a regional study of land settlement in West Africa. The objective of the LSR was to examine the phenomenon of land settlement resulting from the successful control of onchocerciasis (riverblindness) by the Onchocerciasis Control Programme (OCP). The LSR analyzes the process of land settlement, both spontaneous and government sponsored, and recommends operational policy guidelines for promoting viable and sustainable settlement-related activities in the areas where onchocerciasis had been controlled. OCP is widely acknowledged as the most successful on-going disease control program in Africa. Started in 1974 by a group of 7 West African countries and 9 donors, including the World Bank, the program has expanded to 11 countries, includes twenty-two donors and protects 30 million people. In most of the original program area the disease has been virtually eliminated and lasting control of the disease throughout the extended program area is expected to be secured around the year 2000. The health impact of the program has been significant. Nine million children born since the beginning of the program are free of any risk of contracting the disease. Over 1.5 million people who were once seriously infected are now disease free and the program will have prevented an estimated 300,000 cases of the disease by the end of this decade.
