  1. Limpopo Basin Focal Project LBFP Research Team

  2. Basin Focal Projects (BFPs) • Identifying the major issues • Establishing the links between issues • Exploring options for change • Producing guidelines for future research

  3. Work Packages • WP1 Poverty Analysis • WP2 Water Availability • WP3 Water Productivity • WP4 Institutional Arrangements • WP5 Options for Intervention • WP6 Knowledge Management

  4. Where is the water?

  5. When is the water available?

  6. Water Productivity

  7. Institutions • All riparian countries have policies aimed at supporting small-scale farmers to increase their productivity and profits, yet effectiveness of implementation varies considerably; • Limited inter-ministerial and departmental collaboration for promoting agricultural water management limits cross-cutting integrated policies to support agricultural water management, hinder best arrangements; • LIMCOM’s emergence as an effective RBO significantly enhances the capacity of the basin countries to implement major benefit-sharing programs

  8. Water, agriculture, livelihoods & poverty

  9. Strategic Interventions

  10. Output Management • Which stakeholders need which information, when, and in what format? • How is that linked to what we are producing.

  11. Major Issues -Vulnerability of smallholder farmers to water shortages (increased risk of food insecurity) -Where water productivity is low and can be increased, it should be a priority (depends upon diagnosis) -Underdeveloped institutional frameworks for nr management at different levels (targeting)

  12. Thank you
