This workshop paper uses the Gendered Sustainable Livelihoods Framework to make a gendered analysis of {\textquoteleft}livestock water productivity{\textquoteright}, which is the livestock and livestock products and services generated by water. On the basis of literature on Eastern Africa and field data collected in Legedini the gender patterns in access to and control over water, livestock, and livestock products and services are analyzed.

This book analyses and explains the success factors of MUS, using a framework of accountability for public service delivery, and examines why there has been resistance against scaling up MUS.

Sustained access to water in low- and middle-income countries is crucial for domestic use (drinking, personal hygiene, etc.) and is also an imperative for people{\textquoteright}s livelihoods, income-generating activities and small-scale enterprise (e.g. livestock, horticulture, irrigation, fisheries, brickmaking, and othes). Overall, this book exposes the detrimental effects and impacts of approaching water services in isolated ways -- where the continued practise of separating community water services between domestic use and livelihoods have done little in alleviating poverty.

Available in English and espagnol (Ascendiendo la escala de agua).

The Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF) project PN28 developed and tested {\textquoteleft}multiple-use water services{\textquoteright} ({\textquoteleft}MUS{\textquoteright}). This approach to water services takes multiple water needs of rural and periurban communities as the starting point for planning and designing new systems or rehabilitations. By overcoming the administrative boundaries between single-use sectors, MUS contributes more sustainably to more dimensions of well-being than single-use approaches: health, freedom from drudgery, food, and income. The action-research took place in 25 study areas in eight countries in five basins. The project brought global, national, intermediate level, and local partners together who were champions of MUS at the time. At the community level, the project identified generic models for implementing MUS. This was done through pilotimplementation of innovative multiple-use water services, and by analyzing de facto multiple uses of singleuse planned systems. At the intermediate, national, and global level, the project{\textquoteright}s {\textquoteleft}learning alliances{\textquoteright} engaged in the wide upscaling of these community-level MUS models, with the aim of establishing an enabling environment to provide every rural and periurban water user with water for multiple uses. This paper presents some of the project findings.

Is something missing from your work in water supply? Do individuals and communities that you work with use their water supplies for multiple purposes? Are you challenged by how to help the poor gain access to water (beyond {\textquoteright}traditional{\textquoteright} domestic or field-scale irrigation needs) for activities that generate food and income like fruit and vegetable production, keeping livestock, brick-making and building, and a wide range of informal micro-enterprises? Do you search for ways to improve cost-recovery?
