The purpose of the sourcebook article is to provide development professionals and the wider research for development community with concise information on methodologies, approaches and lessons learned. The articles are not intended to provide comprehensive information on the project nor are they intended to serve as project summaries. Typically, one or more aspects of the research, usually an approach, has been highlighted in a source book article. There are some limitations to the articles themselves as the reports and journal articles are often from research that took place three to four years ago and has not been updated.

Item Addressing water, food and poverty problems together--Methods, tools and lessons(Book, 2013-07) CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and FoodThis sourcebook entitled “Addressing water,food and poverty problems together: Methods,tools and lessons” is part of a wider process to capitalize on results from the Phase 1 of CPWF (2004-2008). Phase 1 of CPWF cast its net widely. Sixty-eight individual research projects were carried out in ten river basins around the world. The learning was immense. Unfortunately, many Phase 1 lessons and experiences are locked away in people’s minds or hidden in long technical and scientific reports that are difficult to access, particularly for non-researchers. The articles in the sourcebook provide development professionals and the wider research for development community with concise information on methodologies, approaches and lessons learned on agriculture water management. The articles are not intended to provide comprehensive information on the project nor are they intended to serve as project summaries. Typically, one or more aspects of the research, usually an approach, have been highlighted in the source book article. There are some limitations to the articles themselves as the reports and journal articles are often from research that took place three to four years ago and has not been updated. The sourcebook is divided into 12 chapters. Chapter 1 provides a short overview of the CPWF project, based on its strategic and medium term plans. Chapter 2 discusses water in the context of food production and security, information that is based on CPWF’s Comprehensive Assessment of Water Management for Agriculture (2007). Chapter 3 has three articles all based on Basin Focal Point (BFP) project outputs previously published in Water International (Issues 35 and 36). As such, Chapter 3 provides an overview of river basin issues and discusses in some detail the connection between poverty, water and food. Chapters 4 to 12 are drawn from CPWF project level engagement in the various river basins. These chapters focus on innovative frameworks, methods, approaches and tools. Each chapter consists of a cluster of articles, each standing on its own. Sourcebook articles were repackaged from previously written material. This means that secondary materials - primarily project reports and peer-reviewed journal articles – were used as the basis for creating these articles. Professional writers and artists were employed as part of this effort and an initial workshop was held with CPWF partners to get feedback on the initial drafts. After improvements, project leaders and external reviewers commented and approved the repackaged articles.Item Integrating Governance and Modeling for Better Use of Water Resources(Book Chapter, 2013-03-21) CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and FoodItem Supporting Regional Networks to Facilitate Collective Action in Water Governance(Book Chapter, 2013-03-21) CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and FoodItem Participatory Impact Pathway Analysis: A Practical Method for Project Planning and Evaluation(Book Chapter, 2013-03-21) CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and FoodItem Enhancing Technology Generation and Dissemination for Wider Uptake and Impact(Book Chapter, 2013-03-21) CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and FoodItem Why Small Farmers Should Invest in Irrigation Technologies(Book Chapter, 2013-03-21) CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and FoodItem Using Private Extension Agents to Improve Farm Income in Cambodia(Book Chapter, 2013-03-21) CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and FoodItem Institutional Practices to Scale Up Watershed Management Research(Book Chapter, 2013-03-21) CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and FoodItem Improved Decision Making for Dam Planning and Operation(Book Chapter, 2013-03-21) CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and FoodItem Learning to Implement and Scale-Up Multiple-Use Water Services at the Community Level(Book Chapter, 2013-03-21) CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and FoodItem Multiple-Use Water Services for Poverty Reduction: A Background(Book Chapter, 2013-03-21) CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and FoodItem Farmer-Centered Conservation Agriculture Research(Book Chapter, 2013-03-21) CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and FoodItem Integrated Farming Enhances Rainwater and Soil Productivity(Book Chapter, 2013-03-21) CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and FoodItem Aerobic Rice System for Water-Scarce Areas(Book Chapter, 2013-03-21) CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and FoodItem General Overview of the CPWF Phase 1 (2003-2008)(Book Chapter, 2013-03-21) CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and FoodItem Water for Food – Water for Life(Book Chapter, 2013-03-21) CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and FoodItem Improving the Implementation of Environmental Impact Assessment Follow-up(Book Chapter, 2013-03-21) CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and FoodItem Agroecosystem Analysis Methods to Support Decision-Making for Water Allocation(Book Chapter, 2013-03-21) CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and FoodItem A Geobrowser to Enhance Stakeholders’ Roles in Water Policy Development(Book Chapter, 2013-03-21) CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and FoodItem Creating a Common Platform for Integrated Management of Natural Resources in Nepal(Book Chapter, 2013-03-21) CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food
