On December 20, 2018, the CBG-WA team traveled to visit the solar irrigation system installed in the village of Kougny. The objective was to provide continuous technical support for the beginning of the new growing season.
The irrigation system installed in Kougny is now in its third growing season. After the first growing, the women have harvested their vegetable crops, and then started second cropping season, then thirds growing season is now taking place. So, one growing season after another.
To secure the gardening, the women of the village of Kougny have made a wooden fence to protect their farm from animals. They are preparing the nurseries for onion, tomatoes, and cabbage which will be planted in the coming 3 to 4 weeks.
Alima, the president of the women group in Kougny said, “in addition to the onion, tomato, and cabbage, we will be planting in inter-crops rows (between rows) green peppers and red sorrel."
CBG-WA team provided training to women, which empowered their productive capacity in irrigation farming. Furthermore, the capacity building for women includes farm economic management, water, and fertilizer efficient use and soil moisture monitoring for proper irrigation schedule. This indeed will maximize their farm net profits.
More yet to come
