The programme will feature ample discussion on the results and debate around contentious issues that emerge. The day will feature presentations and dialogues on effective water management actions in agriculture to end poverty and enhance equity; the relative role of rainfed and irrigated agriculture; the amount and type of investments in water management; and decentralisation and the role of the state.

Drought, Risk and Management for Agricultural Water Use Convenors: The Comprehensive Assessment of Water Management in Agriculture (CA) and the CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF) Drought risk is a major impediment to development of rural livelihoods. The mere expectation of drought prevents farmers from investing in ways that would otherwise improve livelihoods, such as diversifying into high value crops, increasing fertiliser use or improving local infrastructure. Farmers adopt a range of strategies to cope with risk, including avoidance, management or risk-sharing. The impact of these strategies on long-term development is examined, together with options for intervention through financial and policy instruments.
