Welcome to waterandlivelihoods.org...

Our new site brings individuals, organisations, regions and themes together around the globally important issue of water and the livelihoods of poor people.

Presenting a more complete and interdisciplinary picture of the challenges involved in achieving poverty elimination through interventions in the water sector, the site aims specifically to:

• link together key institutions at the grassroots, national and international levels concerned with water and livelihoods;

• provide a platform for the dissemination of research, best practice and current work that addresses the pro-poor aspect of water development;

• create an immediately accessible forum for debate on how best to reform current approaches to water development so that new interventions can achieve more sustainable livelihoods for the poor;

• provide a one-stop shop for information, documentation, tools, case studies and briefings for policy makers, practitioners and others working on water and livelihoods issues at all levels.
