A few lessons learnt on CPWF 10 large

river basins

There is enough water to meet

our needs, it’s how we manage it!

Dialogues should promote

� Equitable sharing of benefits

� Institutional water management

avoiding fragmentation among actors

Better feedback mechanisms will help link policy

aspirations and local realities

� Local dialogues more likely to see BSMs emerging

� Can also inspire national and transboundary policies

From sharing the resource

to sharing the benefits

Turton (2008) in Southern Africa

suggested several shifts

� From sharing resources (win-lose) to

sharing benefits (win-win)

� From sovereignty to subsidiarity

� From national security (top-down) to human safety (bottom-

up)

Requires a « basket of options » to generate benefits

Sustainable fisheries and hydropower

in the Mekong river basin

The Mekong water – fish – energy

nexus and benefits

Massive hydropower potential

Fisheries provide 50-80% of

animal protein to 60 mio.

people and 50% of rural

income

Fisheries and food security

threatened by the

discontinuities due to large

hydropower dams

Changes in practice sharing the benefits

between fisheries and energy production

Water management techniques and practices

improving the benefits of riparian communities

Sharing the benefits from

the Volta Basin

A major income source for Ghana

Akosombo Dam on

the Volta (Ghana)

How does small reservoirs’ development upstream

(Burkina Faso, Ghana) threaten energy production?

Page 11: CPWF IFAD - Why Benefit Sharing Mechanisms matter_13_09_11

A marginal trade-off opening

opportunities for small holders

CPWF research shows that evaporative losses from

small reservoirs are not excessive

� Less than 50% of previously been

assumed

� In a savanna setting losses from open

water in small reservoirs even smaller

than those from cropped areas of a similar size

4 times more small reservoirs would

� Can add significant wealth to small holders

� Result in less than 1% of additional water consumption

Mainstreaming Innovations Grant

Overall Goal & Objectives

To improve food security and livelihoods of poor rural communities

Validated CPWF innovations and adoption processes scaled up to reach more communities based on having developed appropriate policy, institutional and technical spaces

Key national / regional planning agencies and development partners and IFAD use CPWF innovations and processes in their planning and operations
