This WLE2015 Activity combines two bilaterally funded projects in the Pakistan Office. Pakistan Water Dialogue is an initiative of the U.S. Department of State to assist Pakistan in addressing water issues, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will engage and collaborate with Pakistani counterparts in an effort to increase agriculture productivity (provisioning service of the ecosystem) and living better with floods (regulating service of the ecosystem). The project methodology is through dialogue identify key actors (institutions; technical experts; service providers; and, end users) and what actions with and without support the key actors are willing to take to enhance these two ecosystems services. IBIS WatGov funded by a partnership with IFPRI as part of the Pakistan Strategy Support Programme funded by USAID complements and extends the project Revitalizing Irrigation in Pakistan working at the Water User Association Level (Khal Panchayat). This project specifically explores the scale of the inequity problem in public irrigation schemes and the role information can have on improving the spatial equity of the provisioning ecosystem services.
