Water, Land and Ecosystems - A Natural Resources Management CGIAR Research Program

Water, Land and EcosystemsA CGIAR PartnershipCGIAR Centers, FAOResearch, development,knowledge partnersA Natural Resources ManagementCGIAR Research Program (CRP5)

CRP5 Addresses Interrelated Global Challenges• Water Scarcity• Land Degradation• Loss of Ecosystem Services GOAL: sustainably improve livelihoods, reduce poverty, and ensure food security using research-based solutions to water scarcity, land degradation, and loss of ecosystem services.

Natural Resources Management – why is it different/difficult?• Responds to a changing set of drivers outside of water or land sector• Ecosystem services difficult to value• Non-market economy• Cross scale interactions• Issues of ownership of land & water are complex• Intuitional arrangements not always conducive to NRM

Focus on 8 problem sets Drivers:X cutting: Irrigation EnergyGovernance Resource Recovery River Basins Subsidies EcosystemsGender DietsPoverty Rainfed …NewGeneration Pastoral Information

CRP5 Works Across Scales LARGE BASIN SMALL BASIN/ TRANSBOUNDARY LANDSCAPE TO GLOBAL AGREEMENT LEVEL CRP 5 SPACE NATIONALSCALE POLICY WATERSHED ISSUES WATER ALLOCATION SOIL CONSORVATION ENVIRONMENTAL FARM PROTECTION LOCAL MGMT PRACTICESE FIELD COMPLEXITY OF SOLUTIONS

Each location has a different problem set and impact pathway Where CGIAR presently works on NRM

Multiple Paths to Impact• Focus on clients - farmer and community perspectives; different needs of women, men, youth• Regional integration – to solve local problems• Focal countries – for policy and investment support• Partnership networks• Global and regional engagement• Facilitating capacity building

Impact -200 million livelihoods improved in 20 years

Potential BeneficiariesIrrigation – 200M, lower food prices, landless labor, more income, better environmentRainfed- 500M smallholders in Asia & Africa, more income, better food securityPastoral – 180M pastoralists – less vulnerability from secure land and water accessGroundwater – 250M, reduced vulnerability to overdraft, better use in high potential areasResource Recovery– 20 to 50M peri urban farmers, better health, productivity income gains; 1 B consumers

Budget• Combined work of CGIAR Centers totals about $78 million in this area• FAO - $10M per year• Startup – need funding for information systems, M&E, gender & poverty, regional integration, administration• Over time – coherent project portfolio• Strategy – an increasing proportion of additional funding is for supporting partnerships
