Contract period: 01.03.2007
- 28.02.2010
Budget: 1,200,000 Euro

This coincides with IWMI´s mission to improve water and land resources management for food,
livelihoods and nature, and IWMI, ICRISAT and ILRI´s commitment to the CGIAR priorities to
develop livestock related options to improve management, conservation and use of water in
Sub-Saharan Africa.
