Sirleaf of Liberia, in a recorded message at Africa Water Week 2014 (AWW5) in Dakar, Senegal. Read more. (article already Read more. (article already published) published) The Liberian President expressed her support for a dedicated Water Goal in the post-2015 development agenda, stressing that this year is a crucial year to raise the issue of water around the world. President Sirleaf is co-chairing the joint GWP-OECD Global Dialogue project, which includes worldwide discussions on water. In her speech, the President brought up the recently completed national consultations on water, which were facilitated by GWP. She said the results from these demonstrate a very strong support for a water goal at country level. President Sirleaf was addressing the Water Ministers of 32 African countries in the opening session of the African Ministers Council on Water (AMCOW) General Assembly. Watch the President’s speech: (insert video link here) Strengthened Relationship with AMCOW GWP representatives attended many of the sessions of AWW5 and meetings were held with all five African GWP regions. The event also presented an opportunity to release the National Drought Management Policy Guidelines, which is the first knowledge product of the GWP/WMO Integrated Drought Management Programme (IDMP). Read more. (article already published) The main outcome for GWP was a further strengthening of the relationship with AMCOW. GWP has been included as lead partner in 7 out of 9 areas of implementation of AMCOW’s new work programme 2014-2016. GWP also had an exhibition booth at AWW5, which was well visited by participants for information and materials. GWP West Africa has a report on this. Promoting Water Security in the Limpopo River Basin GWP Southern Africa is undertaking work for the Agricultural Research Council (ARC) to package and disseminate research results of the CGIAR Challenge Programme for Water and Food (CPWF) undertaken in the Limpopo River Basin in 2009-2013. Read more. (article is published on GWP Southern Africa) Global Water Partnership (GWP), Global Secretariat, Drottninggatan 33, SE-111 51 Stockholm, Sweden Phone: +46 (0)8 1213 8600, Fax: + 46 (0)8 1213 8604, e-mail: [email protected] The CPWF research in the Limpopo identified some interventions to help promote climate adaptation and water security within the Limpopo basin. In attempting to improve the water security challenges faced in Limpopo River Basin, an assessment of the socio-political, economic, institutional and market forces need to be carried out before any technologies aimed at improving agricultural productivity can be implemented. Providing incentives for the uptake of agricultural technologies. Livestock rearing is a common practice among small holder farmers but due to dry seasons and frequent droughts, the challenge is for farmers to ensure their livestock have enough feed to survive the drought season. Therefore, farmers are encouraged to grow fodder crops on part of their land. For those farmers who grow maize, they are encouraged to do crop rotation with velvet bean that helps to improve soil fertility and can also be used as livestock feed. For a new technology to be adopted, awareness and knowledge sharing should be facilitated. CPWF has created platforms that link farmers with input suppliers and value chain actors who can deliberate on challenges and opportunities for agricultural productivity and profitability. Poverty mapping was also carried out by CPWF to identify and locate poor areas and also provide information on social characteristics that hinder development. This move allows for the appropriate allocation of programs and interventions aimed at alleviating poverty and food insecurity. For successful intervention to be achieved, regional and national organisations must have a say in identifying research agendas. Aligning existing research agendas and research can allow researchers to use their findings to contribute to outcomes and impact. CPWF’s recognition of female farmers’ contribution to agricultural production has allowed for the engagement of agricultural extension workers to assist by initiating schemes that ease the domestic work load of women. This in turn gives female farmers ample time to work in their fields and enabling them to contribute to water security through agricultural production. Currently, GWP SA is strategizing and preparing the dissemination of the CPWF research outputs that were developed over the past 3 years. The knowledge products will be developed for end users and decision makers as a means of fostering regional ownership of project outputs and outcomes through partners national and regional dissemination events. These dissemination channels will contribute to the solution of improving governance and management of rain water in a bid to raise productivity, reduce poverty and improve livelihood adaptation in the Limpopo. A number of key organizations, such as the Limpopo Watercourse Commission (LIMCOM) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) strongly supported CPWF’s approach in the Limpopo River basin, and both institutions are planning to incorporate CPWF findings into ongoing work. GWPSA will further engage with SADC, Waternet and NEPAD CoE as well as other strategic R4D partners (such as CCARDESA) on taking Research for Development forward in the region. 3 Read the Summary of the CPWF Research in the Limpopo River Basin over the past three years. GWP Consultations Reinforce Call for Dedicated Water Goal The conclusions of a second round of national stakeholder consultations on water urge the global community to include a dedicated water goal within the post-2015 sustainable development agenda. Read more. (article already published) Between February and April 2014, Global Water Partnership (GWP) brought together about 1,200 participants in 29 countries to discuss proposals for a water goal and related targets for the post-2015 development agenda. The most important conclusion was a broad consensus that the proposed goal of "Securing sustainable water for all" is fundamental to future development. In addition, there was strong support for targets that advance integrated approaches to water management, in particular the five targets proposed in the UN-Water Technical Advice paper. The second round of consultations indicated a clear preference for an approach vis-à-vis targets which allows flexibility for setting national targets (the "dashboard" approach), supported by clear definitions of terms and indicators. The consultations also addressed
