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
