The Basin Focal Projects (BFPs) are a set of ''CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food'' projects aimed at identifying and catalyzing the implementation of strategic interventions to enhance human and ecological well-being through increases in river basin and local level water productivity.〔(CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food website )〕〔(Basin Focal Projects Wiki )〕 ==Overview== The Projects provide strategic research that links project and basin activities with the global demand for improved agricultural water productivity. They do this by analyzing conditions in ten river basins under six work packages. *Phase I projects commissioned in 2005 include basins of the Mekong, Karkheh, Volta and the Sao Francisco.These four projects have reached completion. They produced valuable insights about the specific nature of the food and water crisis in basins. *Phase II projects commissioned in 2008 include basins of Indo-Ganges, Andean〔(Andean Project Website )〕 system of basins, Nile, Niger,〔(Niger Project Website )〕 Yellow River and the Limpopo and run through 2009. Research projects are led by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, Australia (CSIRO), University of California, Davis (UC-Davis), Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD), International Water Management Institute (IWMI), Agricultural Research Council of South Africa (ARC) and are supported by FANRPAN, International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and King's College London (KCL). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Basin Focal Projects」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
