Presentation made by CPWF research director, Larry Harrington, at the 2012 IWMI Annual Research Meeting: Planning and Facilitating Project Outcomes: CPWF Case Studies from CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food
The CPWF Research into Use (RIU) program was designed to provide support to Phase 1 research projects that exhibited a high potential for contributing to improved water management practices in river basins, but were not carried over into Phase 2. The Phase 1 Volta River basin Groundwater Irrigation Project is [...]
