A World Bank-funded project for revitalizing the irrigation schemes in Northern Nigeria, wherein FIF conducted the Policy Action Research (PAR) component of the land administration module. Results indicate a number of outputs generated, as elements of the GIS database established, in modules as follows:

​

Module 1: Landholders Profiles Module (LPM): Data on 3041 respondents were captured and uploaded to the cloud database. The data captured and uploaded were extracted into a 3041rows by 1814 columns spreadsheet or 18,919,179,020 cells of information about persons dwelling on DKIS land area presently; this comprising information on their general attributes such as age group, education level, marital status, including access to credit services.

 

Module 2: Farm Boundary Module (FBM): A total of 7,237 GPS coordinates of 2520 different plots of farms belonging to 2295 respondents were captured.

 

Module 3: Base Maps Module (BMM): A total of 3,181.627 ha were covered by drone and satellite imagery combined, which is more than the originally earmarked 3,000ha land,  and also more than subsequently targeted 2,100 ha land area being stipulated for development byTRIMING project.

 

Module 4. Infrastructures and Facilities Module (IFM): A total of 464 GPS coordinates of 116 irrigation structures were captured. The list of irrigation structures captured includes Storage Reservoir Canals (main canals, secondary canals and tertiary canals); Field ditches, Turnovers, Tributaries and Hydrands; etc.; Drainage structures (Diversion structures, Weirs, Pipes). Other rural infrastructures and facilities were captured in different categories such as schools, rural water supply, and radio station among others.
