This paper examines the weaknesses in the current understanding of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) from the perspective of livelihoods. Empowering poor people, reducing poverty, improving livelihoods, and promoting economic growth ought to be the basic objectives of IWRM. But as currently understood and used, IWRM often tends to focus on second-generation issues such as cost recovery, reallocation of water to higher value uses, and environmental conservation. This paper argues that IWRM needs to be placed in the broader context of both modern Integrated Natural Resource Management (INRM) and the livelihoods approach, which together take a holistic and people-centered approach. The paper concludes with an alternative definition of IWRM as involving the promotion of human welfare, especially the reduction of poverty, encouragement of better livelihoods and balanced economic growth through effective democratic development and management of water and other natural resources in an integrated multilevel framework that is as equitable, sustainable, and transparent as possible, and conserves vital ecosystems. Transparent user-friendly information and models for assisting decision making are essential features of livelihood-oriented IWRM.

High irrigation investment costs together with declining world prices for food and the failures of a number of high profile past irrigation projects are the main reasons for the reluctance of development agencies and governments in sub-Saharan Africa to invest more resources in irrigation. This study aims to systematically establish whether costs of irrigation projects in sub-Saharan Africa are truly high, determine the factors which influence costs and performance of irrigation projects, and recommend cost-reducing and performance-enhancing options to make irrigation investments in the region more attractive. It analyzes 314 irrigation projects implemented from 1967 to 2003 in 50 countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America funded by the World Bank, African Development Bank and the International Fund for Agricultural Development.

Africa, particularly Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is faced with deep rooted poverty, malnutrition and inadequate food production. Key factors that aggravate these problems include high population growth, low agricultural productivity, high natural and man-made tragedies such as climatic variability and change, conflicts and war. About 70% of SSA’s economy is dependent on agriculture and the majority of the population is engaged in agriculture. Given the low labor, land and water productivities in most parts of SSA, production growth in SSA has come primarily from extending agricultural land and not on intensifying agriculture. This also has substantial implication on the environment. There is however tremendous scope and opportunity to reverse these trends, improve livelihoods and create wealth. It is against this background that the programs and contributions of the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) towards improved water and land management in Africa for agricultural and other developments are presented in this paper. IWMI’s roles in terms of understanding the challenges and the importance of water and land management are emphasized. The functional arrangements of IWMI’s sub- regional offices and their respective research priorities, the current key research, capacity building and knowledge management activities of IWMI in Africa, and its research partnerships are discussed.

This paper is based on a review of experiences with a wide range of micro- agricultural water management technologies in sub-Saharan Africa with a special emphasis on southern Africa. The major finding of the study is that these technologies have the potential to make major contributions to improving food security, reducing rural poverty and promoting broad-based agricultural growth. However, there are serious policy impediments to successfully scaling out the use of these technologies at both national and regional levels. The paper makes seven specific policy recommendations whose implementation would enable promotion of wider uptake.

This paper considers the implications of rising prices of major food commodities in southern Africa. First, a global perspective on the phenomenon is provided, focusing on the key factors driving the upsurge in prices. Recent trends in food prices in a representative selection of southern African countries are then considered. Emerging evidence of poverty impacts is presented. The policy challenges and options facing the region’s governments are then discussed. Broad conclusions round out the analysis. The paper’s central argument is that appropriate policy responses to effects of rising food prices involve a mix of short-term social protection responses, long-term measures aimed at spurring agricultural productivity growth, and domestic and regionally conceived and implemented efforts to rationalize and strengthen the roles of public sectors in the region’s food economies.

Sustainability of rainwater harvesting in enhancing water productivity in various biophysical and socioeconomic conditions of SSA is a key in large scale livelihood improvement. A study was undertaken in Makanya catchment of rural Tanzania to assess sustainability of storage type of rainwater harvesting systems including microdam, dug out pond, sub-surface runoff harvesting tank and rooftop rainwater harvesting system. The increasing population in upstream areas of the catchment has forced use of RWH systems for streams and river water abstraction. The agricultural intensification in hillslopes has affected the water availability for downstream uses. Rainfall variability, runoff quality and quantity, local skills and investment capacity, labour availability and institutional support influence sustainability of rainwater harvesting systems.
