点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

By having agencies select better performing institutions farmers will receive clearer signals about profitable and sustainable agriculture; water resources will be used in ways that gives account to its value and sustainable use across the region; and farmers will employ strategies that reduce vulnerability to market and climate risks.<br /> <br /> The attention to inclusiveness will specifically benefit marginalized groups, such as women and girls in agriculture. Knowledge transfer approaches will be used that are sensitive to the needs of this cohort; there will be improved understanding of how water institutions can be changed to make them more amenable to the needs of women; and risk management approaches will take account of the distinctive requirements of women and girls. <br /> <br /> This project is part of the DFAT/ACIAR-funded Sustainable Development Investment Portfolio (SDIP) program.
