Abstract

This study examined effects of small scale irrigation on women farmers’ wellbeing status in Sikasso Region of Mali. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select 160 respondents(user and non-users) while data were collected using interview schedules and analysed using percentages, mean, standard deviation and t-test. Major constraints facing users are crop damage ( x =2.68), unavailability of input ( x =2.41) and inadequate credit facility ( x =2.15). Sixty percent, 98.8%, 85.0%, 85.0% of users have higher level of material, economic, mental and social well-being, respectively compared to 25%, 0.0%, 68.8% and 35.0% of non-users with similar status. The overall wellbeing of 73.8% of users were better-off compared to 11.3% of non-users. A significant difference (t= 11.110) existed in the wellbeing status of users and non-users. Utilisation of small-scale irrigation systems had positive effects on the mental, social, economic and material wellbeing of the users. There is need to extend small scale irrigation to non-users. Keywords: Well-being, Small scale irrigation, farm size, non-users of irrigation, Mali
马里西卡索地区小规模灌溉对女性农民福祉状况的影响
本研究考察了马里西卡索地区小规模灌溉对女性农民福祉状况的影响。采用多阶段抽样程序,选择160名受访者(用户和非用户),使用访谈时间表收集数据,并使用百分比,平均值,标准差和t检验进行分析。用户面临的主要限制是作物受损(x =2.68)、无法获得投入(x =2.41)和信贷额度不足(x =2.15)。60%、98.8%、85.0%和85.0%的用户在物质、经济、精神和社会福利方面的水平较高,而在同等条件下的非用户中,这一比例分别为25%、0.0%、68.8%和35.0%。与11.3%的非用户相比,73.8%的用户的整体幸福感有所改善。用户与非用户的幸福感存在显著差异(t= 11.110)。小规模灌溉系统的使用对使用者的精神、社会、经济和物质福祉产生了积极影响。有必要将小规模灌溉扩大到非用户。关键词:福祉,小规模灌溉,农场规模,非灌溉用户,马里
