| description | The purpose of this report is to summarize and synthesize activities and achievements of
the CPWF through the end of 2006.
The CPWF is a CGIAR Challenge Program designed to take on the global challenge of
water scarcity and food security. It takes the form of an international, multi-institutional
research-for-development initiative that brings together scientists, development
specialists, and river basin communities in Africa, Asia and Latin America. It seeks to
create and disseminate international public goods (IPGs) helpful in achieving food
security, reducing poverty, improving livelihoods, reducing agriculture–related pollution,
and enhancing environmental security.
This Challenge Program is a three-phase, 15-year endeavor. Several years have passed
since the start of Phase 1 (2003-2008) which began with an inception phase in 2003 and
was followed by full CPWF launch in January 2004. Research projects began field
operations in mid-2004. This synthesis report, then, only describes work carried out in
the first two and a half years of the Program.
During this time, CPWF has conducted its research on water and food in nine
benchmark basins, organized around five different themes. This work is being
implemented through “first call projects”, “basin focal projects”, “small grant projects”
and “synthesis research”. This present report is one example of the latter.
CPWF projects have made considerable progress in developing innovative technologies,
policies and institutions to address water and food issues. Some projects focused on
improving agricultural water productivity. Others focused on developing mechanisms to
inform multi-stakeholder dialogue and negotiation, or explored ways to value water used
to produce ecosystem services. Advances were also made in understanding water-foodpoverty
links, and their regional and global policy context. |
