Limpopo Basin Focal Project

The Limpopo Basin Focal Project (LBFP) aims to address critical water management issues affecting smallholder farmers. Through a series of work packages, we analyze poverty, water availability, productivity, and institutional arrangements. By identifying major vulnerabilities and facilitating stakeholder collaboration, we explore practical options for intervention and establish guidelines for future research. Our goal is to improve water management strategies that support agricultural productivity and livelihoods while ensuring sustainable resources in the basin.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Limpopo Basin Focal Project LBFP Research Team

  2. Basin Focal Projects (BFPs) • Identifying the major issues • Establishing the links between issues • Exploring options for change • Producing guidelines for future research

  3. Work Packages • WP1 Poverty Analysis • WP2 Water Availability • WP3 Water Productivity • WP4 Institutional Arrangements • WP5 Options for Intervention • WP6 Knowledge Management

  4. Where is the water?

  5. When is the water available?

  6. Water Productivity

  7. Institutions • All riparian countries have policies aimed at supporting small-scale farmers to increase their productivity and profits, yet effectiveness of implementation varies considerably; • Limited inter-ministerial and departmental collaboration for promoting agricultural water management limits cross-cutting integrated policies to support agricultural water management, hinder best arrangements; • LIMCOM’s emergence as an effective RBO significantly enhances the capacity of the basin countries to implement major benefit-sharing programs

  8. Water, agriculture, livelihoods & poverty

  9. Strategic Interventions

  10. Output Management • Which stakeholders need which information, when, and in what format? • How is that linked to what we are producing.

  11. Major Issues -Vulnerability of smallholder farmers to water shortages (increased risk of food insecurity) -Where water productivity is low and can be increased, it should be a priority (depends upon diagnosis) -Underdeveloped institutional frameworks for nr management at different levels (targeting)

  12. Thank you
