Ian Makin
Acting DDG IWMI
Introduction to IWMI
8 June 2016
IWMI’s mission
To provide evidence-based solutions to sustainably manage
water and land resources for food security, people’s livelihoods
and the environment
IWMI’s vision
A water-secure world
Our strategic objectives:
• Food for people: Create and accelerate sustainable increases in
productivity and production of healthy food by and for the poor.
• Environment for people: Conserve, enhance and sustainably use
natural resources and biodiversity to improve the livelihoods of the
poor in response to climate change and other factors.
• Policies for people: Promote policy and institutional change that
will stimulate agricultural growth and equity to benefit the poor,
especially rural women and other disadvantaged groups.
We do research for development
(R4D) by being…
• A think tank driving innovative research and generating ideas
for solutions.
• A provider of science based products and tools.
• A facilitator of learning, strengthening capacity and achieving
uptake of research findings.
IWMI’s approach to R4D:
An award-winning, world-leading team:
• 110 scientists
• 35 research support staff
Multi-disciplinary:
• Diverse perspectives on any issue or problem
Multi-regional:
• On the ground, on the frontlines: 68% of staff in the field
• Diverse perspectives from 12 countries
Deep commitment to driving “outcomes”:
• Uptake team works across multi-country network
• Close relations with policy-makers, NGOs, farming groups
