• Identify opportunities for developing and improving the likelihood of success with
your project when it comes to water-related issues.
• Identify the various impact pathways for water.
• Provide guidance on a balanced design for implementation.
• Leverage our repository of knowledge and networks to help you find the right
consultant or provide you with targeted information.
• Provide guidance on where and how water-based approaches have worked before.
• Provide support on how to document the activities and outcomes of your project.
• Understand your problem from a technical or water perspective and provide tools in
support of your work (e.g. ToRs, M&E indicators; sector analysis).
• Work with your technical consultant to broaden their knowledge of the water sector;
• Provide decision-support on water-related issues.
• Support you on procurement and partner with you to meet on-time delivery of your
project.

Industry – in particular Agriculture processing
Activity supporting industries or agro-processing (household) units that involve water in their process
Environment & biodiversity
Activity related to environmental uses of water: environmental flows for rivers, flood areas along a
river… to ensure biodiversity conservation
Leisure

The challenge
IFAD know-how in rural development project
(answering livelihood needs for water)
IFAD mandate to finance the agriculture sector
(financing agricultural water – and agroprocessing)
Challenging “Business as Usual”
Our IFAD approach:
 Strengthen stakeholders:
Farmer organizations, trans-boundary agencies, decentralized agencies,
private sector market supply chains, consumer organizations, educational
centers, research
 Improve smallholder market linkages
 Enhance water management in rainfed areas for HH FNS,
including pastoralism
 Increase subsurface storage (3R concept)
 Ensure a next generation of AWM expertise
 Networking for K and Learning (CoP Water & Rural People
 Foster innovations, multi-functionality and information
Implementation Issues
Some topics:
 Lessons Learnt
 Documented but not fully understood and used at HQ and field
 Training and Capacity Building
 Lack of technical training of implementers, PMUs, farmers, contractors;
 No new AWM expertise building or mentoring hand-over
 IFAD Guidelines
 Guidelines are inadequate regarding technical issues (e.g. bidding)
 Composition of Missions
 Limited number of technical advisors on missions; frequency and follow-up.
 Co-funding of Projects
 Supervision aims at suiting co-funder agendas rather than the project
 Community Involvement
 Insufficient involvement beyond design; O&M, warranty, fiscal autonomy
 Design Documents
 Documents not share widely, inhibiting understanding by PMU
 … and so on
