The Challenge Program on Water and Food: Volta Basin Development Challenge Inception Workshop Report
Uganda Water Assistance Strategy
Over the past 25 years, Uganda has experienced sustained economic growth, supported by a prudent macroeconomic framework and propelled by consistent policy reforms. Annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth averaged 7.4 percent in the 2000s, compared with 6.5 in the 1990s. Economic growth has enabled substantial poverty reduction, with the proportion of people living in poverty more than halving from 56 percent in the 1992 to 23.3 percent in 2009. However, welfare improvements have not been shared equally; there is increasing urban rural inequality and inequality between regions.

Building effective partnerships in the Nile BDC—group feedback
In early May 2011, people working on the Nile Basin Development Challenge (http://nilebdc.org) met in Addis Ababa in a 'science and reflection workshop'. Session 2 of the workshop examined institutional and other processes that are key to success of the overall program. In this video, Tilahun Amede (ILRI) reports from small group discussions on issues of partnership in the Program: How do we streamline, integrate, and coordinate the engagement of the various NBDC projects with national research partners?
