This paper provides an overview of poverty levels, hydrology, agricultural production systems and water productivity in the Nile Basin. There are opportunities to manage water better in the basin for use in agriculture to improve food security, livelihoods and economic growth by taking into accou...

In the Blue Nile Basin of Ethiopian highlands, rainfall distribution is extremely uneven both spatially and temporally. Drought frequently results in crop failure, while high rainfall intensities result in low infiltration and high runoff causing soil erosion and land degradation. These combined ...


Gebregziabher, GebrehaweriaRebelo, Lisa-MariaLangan, Simon J.[Interdependence in rainwater management technologies: an analysis of rainwater management adoption in the Blue Nile Basin]Interdependence in rainwater management technologies: an analysis of rainwater management adoption in the Blue Nile Basin

Throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, floodplains and wetlands are extensive. These ecosystems depend on frequent flooding. Many hydrological interventions either already exist within these basins, or are being planned to increase economic benefits and food security. However, these interventions will no...


Rebelo, Lisa-Maria[Mapping inland wetlands in Africa using long waveband radar: the ALOS Kyoto and Carbon Initiative]Mapping inland wetlands in Africa using long waveband radar: the ALOS Kyoto and Carbon Initiative

Wetlands are too often perceived as standalone elements and are poorly integrated into river basin management. The Ramsar Convention recognizes the critical linkage between wetlands, water and river basin management; the governments that are party to the Convention have committed to conserving th...

We implemented an IFAD-supported project to promote ICT-based technologies for weather, water and crop ?related information and advice to smallholders in Africa. A detailed user need assessment was carried out at four project sites in Ethiopia, Egypt, Sudan and Mali. About 60 farmers at each of t...

Mangroves are one of the most productive ecosystems globally, providing a wide range of ecosystem services and providing critical support to livelihoods. Although often associated with highly productive natural fisheries, mangrove forests are threatened in Southeast Asia in particular due to conv...

This study focuses on Laos, a landlocked nation located in South-East Asia with sub-tropical climate and highly seasonal rainfall distribution. Laos is one of the world’s least developed countries, and currently witnesses an unprecedented level of development that is highly reliant on its natural...
