Summary
This Policy Guide is drawn from the results of the FAO Project “Strengthening Agricultural Water Eciency and Productivity at the African and Global Level” funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). The long term vision of the project was that the in-country ndings and processes which are of common nature can be synthesized and scaled up to other countries in a regional cooperation process and globally. This will eventually lead to the increase of investment in Agricultural Water Management (AWM) in the targeted countries and beyond that is socially equitable, protable at the farm level, economically viable, environmentally neutral or positive, and sustainable. The guide focuses on the specic component of enhancing water use eciency at small scale irrigation as one of the major outputs of the project. While creating and implementing Water Use Eciency (WUE) measures at eld level, existing policy frameworks were mapped and analyzed, and recommendations were dened as scalable policy instruments with the aim to demonstrate case-specic experiences to the collectively agreed goal of using water resources eciently.
