ways that are pro-poor, gender equitable and environmentally sustainable. In doing so, CPWF contributes to efforts by

the global community to ensure that global diversions of water to agriculture are maintained at the level of the year

2000.

challenges of water scarcity, food security and poverty.

Some CPWF projects seek to develop innovative technologies, new institutional arrangements, or

improved policies. Other projects strategically aim to better define issues and challenges,

understand processes and principles, and develop more appropriate research tools and methods.
