Due to climate change and increasing
food prices, emphasis needs to be placed on addressing water
management as a key determinant for agricultural production
and productivity. However, governments and donors have
tended to pay relatively little attention to this area, and
investments remain low. This report, which is based on
economic and sector work carried out in the Water Anchor of
the World Bank, highlights the importance of improving water
management in rainfed agriculture, with a focus on those
production systems where water is a main constraint. It
provides a synthesis of the state-of-the-art thinking and
experience. Considering the various issues that are
currently preventing further upscaling of these measures,
and better evaluation of the feasibility of applying
particular measures or combination of measures, the report
proposes options and recommendations for interventions to
help overcome these issues. In doing so, the report aims to
stimulate discussion and encourage new thinking among World
Bank staff and counterparts in client countries who work on
enhancing agricultural productivity and livelihoods in
rainfed agriculture through improved water management and
related interventions. |
