Addressing water scarcity in agriculture through partnerships and innovation

#SDGAction50673
Description
FAO is committed to contribute to addressing water scarcity in agriculture. As part of its Strategic Framework for 2022-2031, it has launched a new initiative on Addressing Water Scarcity in Agriculture and the environment (AWSAMe) with the ambition to develop a global programme on water scarcity that will enhance the resilience of countries to climate change in order to achieve food security, nutrition and a better environment. AWSAMe is currently in its inception phase, promoting drought resilient and nutritious crops to cope with water scarcity and will work with partners such as CIRAD, ICARDA, ICBA and ICRISAT to support countries with evidence based practices that will enhance countries resilience to climate change with regards to agriculture production, food security and nutrition as well as the protection of biodiversity.
FAO also hosts the Global Framework on Water Scarcity in Agriculture (WASAG) which brings all Member countries and knowledge partners who actively work on collaborative and innovative solutions to water scarcity in agriculture. The WASAG is open to all countries and its Partners include:
United Nations agencies
intergovernmental organizations
Academia and Research institutions
Civil society organizations, including Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)
Private sector organizations and trade associations.
WASAG Partners collaborate works through different working groups to address topics such as drought preparedness, financing mechanisms, saline agriculture, sustainable agriculture water use, water and migration and water and nutrition. As, these working groups are community of practice where they collaborate to develop knowledge products that will assist countries.
WASAG is already registered as an Agenda 30 Partnership Accelerator on the UNDESA website.
Several countries support the work of WASAG in different ways. They include Cabo Verde, Canada (through Quebec), Switzerland and Italy. Cabo Verde has hosted the WASAG International Forum of WASAG twice, in March 2019 and in February 2023. These forums adopted The Praia Declaration (March 2019) and The Praia Call for Action (February 2023). These are commitments reflecting the resolve of the Partners to find solutions and translate them into practical actions on the ground.
Further, the Praia Declaration goes one step forward by inviting all Member countries to become Partners of WASAG, under the expressed leadership, as a start, of the Prime Minister of Cabo Verde as the first Chairperson of the new WASAG Partnership consisting of all Member Countries and Partners under this revised governance model.
WASAG has four key actions, in addition to the working groups, as delivery mechanisms, as reflected in its Strategy for 2021-2024: (1) Development of initiatives to address water scarcity; (2) Innovation and data; (3) Research and training and (4) Awareness raising.
These key action areas are at different levels of implementation, driven by demand, opportunities and available resources.
The work of WASAG Partners through the working groups and their activities combined with the convening power of FAO and its own work on water scarcity have created a synergy of good will and a spirit of commitment with results in a collaboration that accelerates the implementation of the SDGs because the collaboration avoid duplication and strengthens linkages.
The Government of Cabo Verde as a key partner in this commitment.
More than 70 partners consisting of:
United Nations agencies
intergovernmental organizations
Academia and Research institutions
Civil society organizations, including Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)
Private sector organizations and trade associations
