GWP and Financing Water and Food Security: Some uneasy questions
From IWRM policy dialogue to plans to action to impact (‘more MDGs per drop’) – have GWP competencies grown in pace with accountability on benefit flows and equity expectations re rural poverty reduction?
Food Security a competitive and crowded market – comparative advantage of GWP ?
Financing W4FS under public and private finance under stress – what credibility and track performance can GWP demonstrate, or build up with new partners ?
In Africa, Food Security is largely about rain-fed agriculture and livestock – how is this reflected in GWP competencies? Rain-fed farming is underfunded - can expertise be developed competing with more established GWP ‘competitors’?
Innovation and Knowledge management for W4FS – what does GWP do differently from and more successfully than others how to scale up and link GWP to locally operating/relevant Communities of Practice (and vice versa) ?
