The power of irrigation
Less than 5% of irrigable land in Africa is currently being irrigated, which means a huge loss of potential cultivation and production of food.
But as UNICEF’s Indrias Getachew explains, an innovative scheme in Ethiopia shows how simple investments can transform agricultural production. This is the kind of project that could get much more funding if donor countries make good on their promises at last year’s G8 summit to invest US$20 billion into agriculture and food security over the next 3 years.
Hear what Indrias had to say when he spoke to ONE:

The message over the tells me I must contribute if I watch the video. I am on the site to understand what it is about. I can not in good conscience watch the video if I do not know if I want to contribute.
