IWMI
WMI’s research focuses on the key water challenges poor agricultural communities face - issues that affect food production, people’s livelihoods and health, as well as the integrity of the environmental services on which they depend. Research thus examines the “water-food-environment nexus”, adopting a multi-disciplinary approach and balancing efficiency and productivity objectives with equity and sustainability concerns.
The issue pages on the website of IWMI describe some of their sub-programs. They also link to projects, publications, videos and presentations. These two sub-program pages from IWMI describe research in the field of sustainable sanitation:
- Resource Recovery and Reuse program. Project example: Developing fortified excreta pellets for use in agriculture (in Ghana)
- Safe Wastewater Use program. Project example: Capacity Development Project on the Safe Use of Wastewater in Agriculture (November 2011 to May 2013)
