This volume reviews the evolution of ten years' learning and
discovery about water scarcity, livelihoods, and food security
within the CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food. It draws on
the experiences of over 100 projects conducted in ten river basins
in the developing world. The book describes how the program's
design evolved from an emphasis on water scarcity, water
productivity, and water access to an emphasis on using water
innovations to improve livelihoods and address development
challenges in specific river basins. It shows how the research was
used to foster change in stakeholder behavior, linking it to
improved knowledge, attitudes, and skills, which were fostered by
stakeholder participation, innovation, dialogue, and negotiation.
The authors describe development challenges, their drivers and
their political context, how to address them through technical,
institutional, and policy innovations; and the consequences of
change at different scales, time frames on equity, resilience, and
ecosystem services. Overall, the work represents a major synthesis
and landmark publication for all concerned with water resource
management and sustainable development.
