Improved Agricultural Water Management In the Nile Basin
Development of a knowledge baseLisa‐Maria Rebelo 1
1 International Water Management Institute, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
High level of poverty and degraded ecosystems
Effects of high population growth and density on land use change and water
Lack of livelihood options
Lack of understanding of the water resource
systems
Poor institutional arrangement
Inadequate water development interventions
Lack of appropriate policy
Lack of knowledge on impacts of interventions
Problem
Better understanding of water availability and access at varying
spatial and temporal scales
Major drivers of water related poverty identified and mapped
Better understanding of production systems, mechanisms for improving productivity, and linkages to poverty
identified
Overview of institutional arrangements and required changes
identified
Alternative water related interventions and their impacts
identified
Poor communications, exchange of knowledge and
cooperation
Limited data and information availability
Lack of enabling environment
Lack of financing
Poor water availability and access
Low water productivity
Participatory Impact Pathway Analysis conducted in consultation with stakeholders to identify the problems in the basin and ensure impact:
Network map constructed to show the evolving relationships between project implementing organizations, project partners and the ultimate beneficiaries that are necessary to achieve the project goal:

Collection, organisation and dissemination of spatial datasets:
Integrate with Nile databases
Hand over to NBI
Store in IDIS
Capture
Organise
Share
Spatial data
Outcome mapping:
OUTCOME A:
Improved and advanced collaborative research
projects and programs. NBI, NELSAP, ENSAP, CG Centers work together effectively not only to deliver BFP results but also to develop future
research projects in the basin
OUTCOME B:
Well maintained and easily accessible database is
housed under NBI platform and collaborating
institutions have access and improved data sharing
mechanisms
OUTCOME C:
An effective network is developed and key
institutions from riparian countries which include ministries, universities,
regional bodies such as NBI‐SVP, ENTRO, share
knowledge and disseminate their results through the
networks
