Abstract:
This report describes the results of a baseline assessment of current livelihood strategies in the Mkindo
watershed of the Wami River Basin in Tanzania. The work is part of the IWMI project entitled ‘Agri-
cultural Water Management Solutions’ which aims to analyse the impacts and potential of AWM inter-
ventions to improve livelihoods at the community, and watershed scales and assess the opportunities,
constraints and impacts of the use of AWM technologies. Similar work has been done in two other
watersheds, the Nariarlé watershed in Burkina Faso and the Jaldhaka watershed in West Bengal, India.
The work in the Mkindo watershed was done during November and December 2009 in cooperation
with Soil Water Management Research Group of Sokoine University of Agriculture, Morogoro, Tan-
zania. After this baseline assessment different AWM scenarios 1 were analysed .
