    The CPWF Basin Focal Project for the Andes system of basins worked with a range of local

    stakeholders to develop a better understanding of the mechanisms for improving the

    productivity of water in the Andes. We considered productivity in broad terms as the

    productivity of energy (HEP), food and fiber (agriculture) and livelihoods (industry, transport

    and benefit sharing such as Payments for Environmental Services schemes (PES)).

    In addition to the compiled data bases and analyses on poverty and institutions, one of the
