Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems

As of August 1, 2011 CPWF has merged into the CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems (WLE).

Sustainable management of the natural resource base supporting agriculture is one of the three major strategic objectives of the CGIAR. The CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems combines the resources of fourteen CGIAR centers and numerous external partners to provide an integrated approach to natural resource management research, and to the delivery of its outputs.

The program focuses on the three critical issues of water scarcity, land degradation and ecosystem services, as well as the CGIAR System Level Outcome of sustainable natural resource management. It will also make substantial contributions to the System Level Outcomes on food security, poverty alleviation and, to a minor extent, health and nutrition.

If you would like any further information on the development of this research program, please email us at CRP5@cgiar.org.
