• Agriculture is a Pillar within government’s long term EMPLOYMENT, GROWTH AND
DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Engineers duties: > Infrastructure - on-farm & off-farm (Irrigation
schemes, Agro Processing, Aquaculture, Abattoirs)
> Capacity building – training & Technology transfer
> Limited resources – Innovations for resource preservations
• Infrastructure available: - 100% operational
- Partially operational
- Dormant
Engineers possible duties: > Evaluations
> Maintenance
> Incorporation of New technologies
> Improving standard designs
> Mechanization planning
