"Traditionally, poverty reduction has focused on increasing economic growth at the national level. Whilst this may be necessary it is not sufficient since it neglects the distribution of assets and income. Poverty reduction is a complex issue and specific targeted actions are needed to ensure support to weak and marginal communities. Many factors need to be taken into account for poverty reduction, such as employment generation, income and food security. Water is also a component of a poverty reduction strategy but hitherto this has not been well articulated. Many aspects of water provision and management are relevant to poverty reduction; this paper however, focuses on the role of integrated water resources management." |
