Resumen
Descripción
The CPWF is an international, multi dimensional, research for development initiative. Its overarching goal is to contribute to the efforts by the global community to increase food production to achieve internationally adopted food security and poverty eradication targets by 2015, while simultaneously ensuring that the global diversions to agriculture are maintained at the level of the year 2000. It emphasizes south south and north south cooperation, partnership and knowledge exchange. Led by a consortium of 18 institutions, the CPWF is working with a broad range of over 200 institutions in research and development, bringing together natural and social scientists, development specialists and river basin communities in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Over 60 percent of the research funding is disbursed through a competitive grant scheme.
