1. Item name: Linking poverty reduction and water management. |
Item type: Acts, Regulations & Policies
Description:
This paper analyses the relationship between water management and poverty reduction. All aspects of poverty are considered: this is reflected in the analysis of water’s potential contribution to all of the MDGs, not just those that refer explicitly to water. The paper builds on the conceptual framework developed in earlier Poverty Environment-Partnership (PEP) papers through the analysis of the contribution of different aspects of water management to four key dimensions of poverty reduction, namely, enhanced livelihoods security; reduced health risks; reduced vulnerability and pro-poor economic growth. |
