Within countries, multiple inconsistent property rights regimes exist. The study also found a lack of clarity and enforcement of water access and use rights for investments. It concludes that coordinated land and water governance systems are needed that recognize all rights, have clear planning, pricing, and dispute resolution, and improve legal and institutional reforms and monitoring.

Ecosystem services mapping as a framework for integrated natural resource man...

Global Water Partnership

This document discusses integrated natural resource management in South Africa. It notes that while South Africa has comprehensive environmental laws and increasing budgets for management, assessments show many ecosystems are threatened. This is due to a lack of holistic planning, failure to consider resource value, poor coordination, and inadequate local capacity. The document proposes using an ecosystem services approach to integrate natural systems, social needs, and economic factors. It presents a case study applying this framework in UThukela District through tools like social simulation, scenario analysis, and economic incentives to match interventions with drivers of environmental change. Key to success are effective stakeholder consultation, institutional coordination, and an appropriate governance structure.

Development of agricultural irrigated lands in burkina faso

Global Water Partnership

The document discusses agricultural irrigation development in Burkina Faso. It notes that Burkina Faso has developed over 42,973 hectares of irrigated land as of 2013, up from 13,043 hectares in 2000. The irrigation techniques discussed include major irrigation schemes near dams covering over 1,000 hectares each, medium schemes from 20-100 hectares, and small-scale irrigation under 100 hectares using various water sources. Crops grown include rice as well as dry season gardening. The development of irrigated agriculture is aimed to increase food production and farmers' incomes in Burkina Faso.

Coordinating land and water governance in the context of food security

Global Water Partnership

This document discusses the need for coordinated governance of land and water resources to address food security challenges. As population and demand for food increases, business as usual approaches to managing land and water separately will lead to crossing planetary boundaries for water use and loss of agricultural land. Coordinated governance considers land and water as an integrated system and establishes interrelations in their management at various scales from local to national to regional levels. This helps overcome barriers like sectors working in isolation, improves resource use efficiency, and leads to more coherent policies that secure access to both land and water for improved food production.

Community/farmers-led land and water governance - An experience from Nepal

Global Water Partnership

This document discusses community-led land and water governance experiences in Nepal. It finds that farmer-managed irrigation systems irrigate 70% of agricultural land and produce 40% of Nepal's food. However, private land ownership and control of irrigation systems by government bureaucracies have negatively impacted small farmers and food security. The experience of CSRC shows that by supporting land rights and establishing people's organizations, farmers in Nepal have successfully developed local frameworks to manage land and water resources, diversified production, and increased yields over 5 times through small-scale, community-led irrigation projects.

Global Water Partnership

1. The document discusses large scale investments in agriculture in Africa for food and biofuel crops, and how this can impact food security. It examines the opportunities and risks of growing non-food bioenergy crops as part of land use systems in sub-Saharan Africa. 2. The FAO's Bioenergy and Food Security approach is presented as a way to design sustainable bioenergy policies that contribute to agricultural development and food and energy security. Case studies of the approach in Tanzania, Malawi, and other countries are provided. 3. Key questions addressed include how multi-functional land use systems can promote both food and energy security, and the potential benefits of non-food bioenergy crops for sectors like income

Editor's Notes

I wish to highlight that Knowledge dissemination and sharing is very complex. It includes processes (menuj) and enablers (menuj) GWP has an ambition to create the enabling environment that brings together other knowledge partners. Stong complication in this process is that IWRM invloves many sectors (agricultures, transport, energy, industry) and includes many countries (as water does not recognize administrative borders)
