Participatory Impact Pathway Analysis conducted in consultation with stakeholders to identify the problems in the basin and ensure impact:
Major drivers of water related poverty
identified and mapped
Poor communications,
Better understanding of water exchange of knowledge and
availability and access at varying cooperation Lack of livelihood
options Effects of high
spatial and temporal scales
population growth and
Limited data and information density on land use
Better understanding of production availability Lack of understanding change and water
systems, mechanisms for improving of the water resource
productivity, and linkages to poverty Lack of knowledge on systems High level of
identified impacts of interventions poverty and
Poor water availability degraded
Poor institutional and access
Overview of institutional ecosystems
Lack of appropriate policy arrangement
arrangements and required changes
identified Lack of enabling environment Inadequate water Low water productivity
Alternative water related development
Lack of financing interventions Problem
