正文(英文) | Smallholder farmers face significant challenges to their lives and livelihoods, including reliance on unpredictable rain to grow food and competition for often scarce water resources. The negative impacts of climate change compound the challenge; weather-related disasters such as floods, droughts, and heat waves are increasing in frequency and intensity. The global COVID-19 pandemic adds another layer of difficulty. National response and mitigation measures may indirectly cause market disruptions that negatively impact food and nutrition security. The World Food Programme estimates that approximately 130 million additional lives and livelihoods are currently at risk. It is therefore urgent to enhance the resilience of smallholder farming communities; increase multiple-purpose water access; and ensure water, food, and nutrition security for all. The Global Commission on Adaptation (2019) and the Malabo Montpellier Report (2019) confirm the importance of coming together to create innovative water and renewable energy solutions to transform agricultural production systems amid a changing climate. Series of interactive webinars feature FLI thought leaders Conscious of the need to come together to solve these challenges, the World Bank, the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), the Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute, and the Global Water Partnership will host a series of interactive webinars on accelerating inclusive farmer-led irrigation development. The virtual mini-series will explore key issues and next steps for operationalizing sustainable and inclusive FLI scale-up. The webinars are geared toward practitioners, policy makers, the private sector, and researchers interested in advancing FLI globally. The webinars will provide an innovative platform to enable collective learning about innovative cases and successes associated with farmer-led irrigation development. Session 1: Accelerating inclusive FLI and reaching scale: key considerations will take place on June 11, 2020 at 9 am DC time. The key presenters include:
The first session aims to:
Session 2: Accelerating inclusive FLI sustainably: a systems approach to reaching scale will take place on July 9, 2020. This key speakers for this session include:

The webinar speakers will engage in a lively interactive experience that explores key challenges such as underdeveloped irrigation supply chains and services; agricultural value chains for irrigated commodities and high value crops; high upfront costs and lack of access to finance; gender inclusion gaps in access to and benefits from FLI; and limitations in water resource governance. Overall, the events offer the opportunity to help shepherd environmental sustainability and uplift the lives and livelihoods of farmers – toward a water and food secure world for all.
