Improving food security and nutrition in the Sahel
Working in different wetland landscapes in Ethiopia and Mali, the program will develop and communicate agricultural water use and management innovations that are relevant to a wide range of agricultural systems in and around Sahelian wetlands. These will contribute to local, national, Sahelian / African-wide goals of enhanced food security and nutrition by increasing water productivity and eco-efficiency, improving livelihoods and restoring (wetland) ecosystem services.
