    The study aims to estimate the livestock water productivity (LWP) and to examine the effect of grazing area closure and feeding strategies on LWP at farm household level under wealth and intervention categories at Lencha Dima watershed. Results are based on survey of 120 sample households and focus group discussion. Beneficial outputs of livestock and depleted water for producing them were estimated then livestock water productivity as the ratio of the beneficial out puts and depleted water was estimated.

    The Nile basin experiences wide spread poverty, lack of food and land and water

    degradation. Because poverty is linked to access to water for crop, fish and

    livestock based livelihoods, improving access to water and increasing agricultural

    water productivity can potentially contribute substantially to poverty reduction.

    The major goal of the Nile Basin Focal project is to identify high potential

    investments that reduce poverty yet reverse trends in land and water

    degradation. This is done through the implementation of six interlinked work

    PN37 (Increasing Water-Use Efficiency for Food Production through Better Livestock Management -

    The Nile River Basin) set out to improve food security, reduce poverty and enhance agroecosystem

    health by managing livestock for more effective overall use of water. PN37 responded to water

    challenges posed by the CPWF, to the Nile Basin Initiative’s goal of better sharing benefits of water

    use, and to global need for the livestock sector to use agricultural water more efficiently and
