  1. UEM/FAEF Water for FoodThe Challenge of Integrated Water Resource Managementfor Improved Rural Livelihoods:Limpopo Research ProgramCP 17 Feedback on the Mozambican 2nd Scientific Catchment Meeting Final Scientific Workshop JHB, 15-18th June 2009

  2. Participants • 23 delegates from different institutions • Research & Education (IIAM, UEM, ISPG) • Government (SDAE, ARA-Sul, HICEP; Lower Limpopo Irrigation Project) • Private sector • ONG’s (LWF) • Farmers

  3. Topics Project reports (RWH; Water management & BSc; MSc & PhD results) Climate Change study; WWF experience on small dams management; Lower Limpopo Project-Machongo; Limpopo WM

  4. Feedback from stakeholders • Project interventions (studies) helped to point out solutions for some problems in the Basin…need to establish appropriate channels to influence decision-makers; • Need to establish appropriate mechanisms to share the experiences and results from the project; • Need to establish effective linkages between the researchers, extension officers & farmers;

  5. Feedback from stakeholders… • Future interventions should consider de impact of climate change on sowing dates vs. appropriate RWHT; • More applied research on the Northern dry areas of Gaza Province targeting RW vs. small dams • RWHT should be tested and promoted in regions where farmers do not have alternative to rainfed agricultures (irrigation & wetlands – machongo)
