Presentation by Claire Chase, World Bank Group, at the Stockholm World Water Week on August 27th, 2019. It highlights that Nutrition-sensitive Agriculture guidelines do not fully capture water-related issues. Also looks at entry points for improved nutritional outcomes, results indicators for nutrition-sensitive irrigation and water management lending operations, the Uganda Irrigation Development and Climate Resilience project as a case study and the partnerships that scale up investments in nutrition-sensitive irrigation and water management.
