3. Legacy in basins

4. CWPF Strategy
Basin Strategies
Elegant ending
Documentation, communication
& learning

5. Not closure – moving forward
Strength of CPWF basin programs has been in its
partnerships and not relying on one single way to
continue work – not ‘sunset projects’
CRPs is not the only pathway of continuity
Highly iterative and engagement oriented focus in
terms of final months “closure” process

6. Andes: Benefit Sharing
Mechanisms
CONDESAN is a regional Platform focused on BSM
Two science related workshops to close out in Columbia and
Peru

“BSM Clinics” – focus has been to further Benefit Sharing Mechanism
approach and look at issues of scale
Work will continue through partners and their own programs
Work will continue through government programs focused on
PES/BSM
Use of media to engage and promote concept of BSM
Basin Story: Developing book on BSM Approaches

7. Limpopo: Small reservoirs
FANRPAN is the lead with Global Water Partnership:
Few CGIAR partnerships – driven by regional
organizations
Research endorsed Southern African Development
Community and Limpopo River Commission
Series of workshops through partner organizations
annual events.
Work to be carried through Global Water
Partnership and other Partners
Produced a special magazine of final outputs

8. Mekong: Water, Food & Energy
Largest program as received an extra 5ml grant –
extended till April 2014 – more than 19 projects
Large Forum which brings region together on Water,
Food and Energy issues
Smaller workshops run by projects to return results
and engage with stakeholders
Continuation strategy is through the “Nagahouse”
concept and developing regional R4D institution –
need for a ‘convenor’ in the region
Use of Video, study tours, face to face discussion

9. Nile: Sustainable land managemnt
Coordinated by IWMI & ILRI

Continuation strategy dependent on CGIAR Research
Programs
Series of science and stakeholder meeting
culminating in a ‘dinner’ event
Teaming up with CARE to produce a sourcebook on
Agriculture Water Management in East Africa
Basin Story: Produced an “institutional history”

10. Volta: Small reservors
Coordinated by IWMI – focused on agriculture water
management & small reservoirs for multiple use
Already “finalized”: A series of science and closure
meetings have been held
Proposals developed for further work submitted to
Water, Land and Ecosystems and EU
Basin story: Institutional history

11. CPWF Program Level Plans
External Review
Communication






CPWF Book & outreach
Animation & PPT
Working Papers
Outcome stories
Basin Summaries
CG Space for all outputs
Feeding lessons and experiences into
CRPs which are interested
Crafting of messages and engaging
messengers

12. Cross-Basin Learning
A small number of meetings have been held where
‘champions’ have taken ideas forward




Innovation/Engagement Platforms workshop and lesson
learned
Participatory approaches workshop in December (hosted
by CIAT)
KM/Comms to have lesson learning workshop in
December
Spatial Analysis and Modelling – January/February ??
