ABSTRACT
This study was about economics of small scale irrigation schemes funded by TASAF. The
study was conducted at the Mkindo irrigation scheme in Mvomero District, Morogoro.
The main objective of the study was to analyze the economic viability and determine the
impact of the irrigation scheme on household income and food security. Specifically
study: (i) analyzed the economic viability of the irrigation scheme; (ii) determined the
impact of the irrigation scheme on household income and income distribution and (iii)
determined the impact of the irrigation scheme on household food security. Data were
collected using structured questionnaires administered to random samples of 80
households practicing irrigation at Mkindo and 80 households depending on rainfed
agriculture at Dakawa. Cost Benefit analysis and with and without approaches were
employed to determine economic viability and impact respectively. The calculated NPV,
BCR and IRR values were TZS 2 396 687 745, 5.56 and 16.0% respectively. The average
household income for irrigators was significantly (p0.005), compared to non irrigators, the number of month
which a household was able to feed themselves from own produced food was significantly
