Abstract: Irrigation activities in Kenya range from large‐scale government‐owned schemes involving thousands of acres on which farmers work for wages to small individually owned and irrigated plots of three or four acres. This paper examines the institutions and operational workings of the government schemes as well as the privately owned plots. In general the most successful irrigation schemes are those which are organized and run by individuals or by private groups with government agencies and NGOs providing technical support.
