The SCAMPIS project - a quick presentation-

• 3 years duration• 3 countries : India ( Orisas state ) Madagascar Guatemala• Targets : (i) 30,000 smallholders families adopt Gravity-fed low cost

Microirrigation Systems ( GMS) to improve their nutrition , food security and income;

(ii) a sustainable GMS equipment supply / after sales services chain is established in teh area of intervention;

(iii) the experience triggers replication / mainstreaming of the commercial approach to innovation uptake

• Funding : 3 millions euros ( 4.4 millions USD) • Partners: COOPERNIC, IFAD, IDEIndia, AVSF, FUNCAFE

SCAMPIS Objective : Livelihood support ( income and food security) for smallholders through high-value horticultural production; thanks to the sustainable supply of affordable Gravity-fed Micro-irrigation Systems -GMS, Liquid Organic Fertilizers/Pesticides-LOFP , and accompanying services …

Key determinants at introduction stage of a technological innovation

• Need to quickly work through market forces (involve private sector for

dealership and services )

• Though the SCAMPIS financing is time-bound, withdrawal from

intervention areas is not an option, therefore the post-project

sustainability of the supply chain be firmly established (policy support

needed)

• A consequence is that : whereas the initial direct subsidy for equipment

purchase appears inevitable to reach the critical mass of adopters in a

reasonable time , it must be phased out; a gradually regressive subsidy

scheme must be well publicized and understood by clients .

Shifts in SCAMPIS’ role (1)

Shifting to supply chain with periodic quality checks by SCAMPIS staff

Highly controlled

and centralized

Quality control

Gradual handing over to supply chain (dealers)

By SCAMPIS staff directly Promotion

Facilitates co-ordination and linkages between supply chain members

Direct involvement in order processing , subsidization of equipment purchase
