Saving water and improving livelihoods by enhancing agricultural water efficiency and productivity in Africa

This project, implemented through the FAO and the Agricultural Water Partnership for Africa, has established evidence-based policy, good practice and investment in sustainable agricultural water management in Burkina Faso, Morocco, Uganda and globally by linking catalytic activities to national and regional policy processes.
