The CPWF-MUS Project

This site contains outputs from the Multiple Use Services (CPWF-MUS), project which was part of the Challenge Program on Water and Food. It ran from 2004-2009. The project was a partnership of professionals from the productive and domestic water sectors, and from the research and implementation communities. It focused on developing tested tools and guidelines for multiple-use water services delivery as an effective way to use water for poverty alleviation and gender equity. Activities were carried out in rural and peri-urban areas of five major river basins and eight countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America.The project worked through so-called learning alliances to develop locally-specific innovations and build capacity for scaling up.
