7The immediate objectives of the CPWFFood
security for all at household levelPoverty
alleviation through increased sustainable
livelihoods in rural and peri-urban
areasImproved health through better nutrition,
lower agriculture-related pollution and reduced
water-related diseasesEnvironmental security
through improved water quality as well as the
maintenance of water-related ecosystem services,
including biodiversity

10Expected research outputs Varieties with superior
abiotic stress tolerance and improved water
productivity Technologies that enhance farmers
livelihood and water productivity at field
level Interventions that enhance water
productivity at agro-ecosystem and irrigation
system level Tools and methodologies to assess
the impact of interventions on crop performance,
water productivity, water balance components,
soil and water quality Institutional arrangements
that encourage farmers to adopt water
productivity enhancing technologies
