Key Message 3 | Financial and technical support schemes

Short Description: 

Advancing financial schemes for higher integration of water and agricultural policy in practice demands multipurpose interventions with acceptable cost-benefit ratio and special consideration of specific land ownership, farm size, and landscape characteristics.

Challenge: 

The use of existing financial support for mainstreaming NSWRM is challenged by the complex administrative processes required for NSWRM implementation. In addition, local stakeholders have low
decision-making support in implementing NSWRM, which, influenced by land ownership structure,
hampers achieving multipurpose policy objectives.
