Case from Vietnam

Traditional approach New FAO approach
Sectoral investment plans
Water Investment Framework (WIF)
Roles of GWP in increasing Investments for water and food
• IWRM is also considered during formulating WIF as a main activity to achieve sustainable water uses
• CWP can provide support its knowledge and experiences in formulating WIF and bring stakeholders together
• While the challenges of achieving food security are increasing, IWRM is an effective way for better water resources management
Water efficiency can help in agriculture, e.g in China
The water resources and food security in China is now facing a big challenge because of the uneven distribution of water resources, the mismatching of water and land resources, the rapid social-economic development and the low efficiency of water use.
The central government of China started to implement the strictest water resources management strategy since 2009, which may be a crucial policy to guarantee the water resources and food security in China.
The successful implementation of the strategy requires active participitation of stakeholders and water partners, and supports from scientific and technological fields.
