Progress of CPWFProgress of CPWF Approved in Nov 2002 and entered in inception phase Fully functional from Jan 2004 First call – 50 projects approved At present 30 projects already started in different basins Out of this 9 projects for IGB More news available in www.waterforfood.org Next call expected in the middle of 2006 New research strategy – start Basin focal projects in 4
small basins immediately – spread across continents and ecological conditions

Objectives of Basin Focal projectsObjectives of Basin Focal projects Improve understanding of the nature and extent of water poverty and
vulnerability and the underlying causes of poverty and opportunities for poverty reduction
Improve understanding of issues, processes, opportunities and challenges associated with sustainable increase in agricultural water productivity for poverty reduction and enhanced food, health and environmental securities
Develop an integrated framework for assessing constraints and opportunities and identifying appropriate interventions for –
- the poor to enhance agricultural water productivity- The poor to benefit from improvements in water access, employment and
lower food cost- Enhancing health and environmental securities through increases in
agricultural water productivity

Focal projects – a key means of comparing and contrasting the situation in different basins – maximum of USD 800 K – 18-24 months duration
The data produced in each basin and the methodologies agreed to produce them will be intellectual capital (global public goods) offered by the CPWF
Help to prioritize researchable issues in each basin for the second call Initially BFPs will function for Mekong, Karkheh, Volta and S. Francisco
basins from August 2005 Lead Institutions CSIRO, IWMI, IRD, UC Davis Other partners for this BFPs will decided by lead institution and the
coordination project Other basins – IGB – next year – mid 2006 The methodological framework developed under GECAFS may provide a
good support for IGB basin focal project

Small grants (max of USD 75 K) – innovative methods and demonstrations of end user impact – call is in the initial stage
IFS-CPWF call already available in the website – USD 12 K – for young scientists of different basins for innovative new ideas – period 12-18 months duration
