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.
