Since 1950 FAO has prepared and advocated decennial programmes for the World Census of Agriculture (WCA). The 2000 Programme was the sixth in the series. These programmes on one hand serve to promote availability of internationally comparable data on the structure of agriculture; on the other hand they provide methodological guidance to countries in collecting data, following standard concepts, definitions and classifications.

water management
The CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF) is a multi-institutional research for development program

that seeks to create and disseminate international public goods to improve the productivity of water in river basins in

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.

water management
The CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF) brings together scientists, development

specialists, and communities, in nine river basins across Africa, Asia and Latin America, to address

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.

The CPWF was designed to be different. Developed in response to a call for change in a previous round of Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) system

reform, the CPWF was intended to foster cross-CGIAR cooperation and find ways to bring in new partners. Over time the CPWF has successfully broadened the CGIAR’s sources of

innovative research on water and food. Through its broad partnerships, the program conducts research that leads to positive impact on the poor and to policy change. The CPWF does this by

The breadth and scope of the CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food’s (CPWF) mandate is substantial. This research strategy attempts to define this mandate by reviewing and refining its objectives and principles, and by clearly defining the path that will be followed to achieve its goals.

In addition, the strategy outlines the kinds of outputs expected.

This Strategy will serve as an overall research guide for CPWF participants from 2005 to 2008
