    The Sustaining inclusive Collective Action that Links across Economic and Ecological Scales in upper watersheds (Scales) project fits mainly in People and Water in Catchments Theme (Theme

    2) of the CPWF. Its goal is to contribute to poverty alleviation in the upper watersheds of the

    tropics through improved collective action for watershed resource management within and across

    social-spatial scales. Scales worked though an integrated program of collaborative action

    research, development, and capacity building in key catchments of the Nile and Andes basins, as

    PN37 (Increasing Water-Use Efficiency for Food Production through Better Livestock Management -

    The Nile River Basin) set out to improve food security, reduce poverty and enhance agroecosystem

    health by managing livestock for more effective overall use of water. PN37 responded to water

    challenges posed by the CPWF, to the Nile Basin Initiative’s goal of better sharing benefits of water

    use, and to global need for the livestock sector to use agricultural water more efficiently and

    In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the increasing competition for water between various sectors is aggravated by growing demands for water, climate change and environmental degradation. One of the major consumers of water is livestock keeping, which is an important livelihood strategy for smallholder farmers in Africa. The water consumption for livestock production is currently increasing with the growing demands for livestock products. On the other hand, current low returns from livestock, limit its contribution to livelihoods, threaten environmental health and aggravate local conflicts.

    Challenge Program Water and Food: Basin Focal Project NIGER

    Faced with increasing food and water insecurity as a result of climatic and

    anthropogenic (demography, land use) changes, the CGIAR Challenge Program

    for Water and Food commissioned research in 10 river basins to study the links

    between water, food and poverty. Looking at the Niger river basin, we carry out

    a diagnosis of the hydrologic and agronomic potential, before attempting to

    identify how good agricultural water management may reduce vulnerability in the

    The Basin Focal Project Volta (BFP Volta) was developed along three main steps:

    Assessment of present conditions of the distribution of rural poverty, of farming

    systems with their productivity and water productivity;

    Analysis of opportunities and risks, especially under the double pressure of demography

    and possible climate change, and modeling of water resources to identify sensitivity of

    water allocation to development and climate scenarios; and

    Identification of research gaps and implementation plan.
