These specific technical skills are lacking at national level among either government officials or technical staff, including irrigation officers, extension service staff, and with farmers and their organizations.
Responding to these challenges, the FAO Regional Office for Africa, in collaboration with the Land and Water Division (CBL) in headquarters, organized the first training workshop on solar-powered irrigation systems (SPIS) in Accra, Ghana, from May 21 to 24, within the framework of the Land and Water Technical Networks.

FAO’s Land and Water Officers in Africa will delve on the technical aspects of technology and map out further engagements in rolling out the initiative across the region.
Additionally, this workshop provided a window of opportunity to discuss the challenges on land and water in Africa as well as exchange ideas, good practices, experiences, and challenges around land and water projects that are relevant to SPIS.
