Investment Scenario Modeling Tool
As part of this research, an investment tool was developed by scientists at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), which allows investors to compare the potential reach and income generation of smallholder agricultural water management investments across sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The analysis underlying the scenarios is based on an integrated modeling system that combines geographic (GIS) data analysis, biophysical and economic predictive modeling, and crop mix optimization tools. The potential of each technology is also summarized in these regional mapping fact sheets, which detail the potential of each technology in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Read more...

Stockholm launch of new program on Water, Land and Ecosystems

The CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems will be holding an official launch event at Stockholm Water Week on Tuesday, August 28 at 5.30 pm at the IWMI-CGIAR booth. The event will be an informal opportunity to socialize and learn more about the program. In addition, you can learn more about the program through talking with the Program Director,Simon Cookand other senior researchers.

The CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems, one of CGIAR’s most ambitious research programs to date is a ten year commitment to bring about a radical transformation in the way land, water and natural systems are managed. It is one of the largest programs with 14 partners, includingFAO and is being led by the International Water Management Institute, which has just been named this year’sStockholm Water PrizeLaureate.
