| Abstract | This paper outlines how the integrated management of water resources and water-related services can help to reduce poverty in the contexts of public health, land use, food production, livelihoods, industrial development, urban planning and environmental protection. It aims to show how integrated water resources management (IWRM) fits within broader pro-poor governance dimensions; to highlight overlooked connections between access to/use of water and poverty; to explore how a changeover to the IWRM approach is an important ingredient of strategies for poverty reduction; and to examine some of the modalities of IWRM at sub-national and national levels and their specific implications for poverty reduction. |
