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:

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
