| dc.description.abstract | Irrigation contributes significantly in increasing availability of farm products, income of households and in reducing poverty. It is one approach to address the weak performance of agriculture sector due to lack of adequate rainfall, variabi lity and duration of rainfall. Koga Irrigation Project is one of the projects designed to satisfy basic needs of society and to ensure self sufficient in food production. It is community-based large scale irrigation. Managing such large scale irrigation scheme is a challenge. This study is aimed to assess and identify the factors affecting the successful implementation and Water Use Management problems of communitybased irrigation schemes and to indicate and recommend solutions to the problems. Based on the identified problems I set the objectives: to assess the current community-based irrigation water use management and its impacts on the irrigation development; to examine the constraints and to identify the factors affecting the successful implementation of community-based irrigation development; and finally to identify the type of interventions that should be taken to sustain the irrigation schemes. Based on the objectives appropriate methodologies are designed to investigate them. Lack of access to market, loss of water when irrigating, lack of awareness on irrigation were identified. Moreover, lack of training related to irrigation, low price for the products, crop disease and the high cost of inputs are the constraints encountered in the irrigation schemes. It is recommended that Koga irrigation project office should build strong institution accommodated well experienced marketing expert or a group of experts is/are recruited that can perform market assessment and create market ties with different governmental and public organizations such as hospitals, super markets universities and colleges; try to install agroprocessing firms in/around the scheme by organizing the union, taking credit from development banks such as ADB. Farmers should get continuous irrigation, land and water use management training and must be aware of the schemes and they should be informed to safeguard and to develop sense of ownership.
