Increasing access to agricultural water productivity and efficiency by providing access to low-cost and efficient techniques (e.g. drip and sprinkler irrigation) and by up-scaling such approaches through sustainable business models.
Increased access to funding for smallholders for productive water use systems through the support of microfinance institutions.
Increasing access to improved agricultural water management through building/ rehabilitation of irrigation schemes, taking into account various issues such as energy, land, training of farmers.
Mainstreaming of state-of-the-art agricultural water management for both rain-fed and irrigated agriculture in national and international policy processes (CAADP).
