Assessing the potential for poverty reduction through investments in agricultural water management

This report describes a methodology to conduct rapid country-level appraisals of the potential for agricultural water management investments in support of rural livelihoods. The approach focuses primarily on people and development, matching demand with bio-physical resources. An expert-based, participatory appraisal, combined with a national-level GIS analysis, provides a straightforward and visual description of opportunities for investments. The use of scenarios allows users to assess the costs and impact of different investment options, prioritize areas for interventions and understand the poverty-reduction potential of different types of agricultural water management interventions.
