🌱 The #WATDEV Toolbox helps decision-makers simulate future agricultural scenarios & plan smarter investments in water, soil & farming. Here's why it matters, according to ASARECA Executive Director Sylvester Dickson Baguma. #Agriculture #WaterManagement

🤝 Trust between farmers, researchers & institutions — this is #WATDEV's deepest legacy. Gaetano Ladisa from @CIHEAM_Bari reflects on cooperation across the Nile Basin. 💧🌍 The journey may not be over. Will there be a WATDEV 2? 👀 #WaterManagement #FoodSecurity

🌍 The true legacy of #WATDEV is the strong network it has built! Jacopo Tavassi (@AICS_it EU Portfolio Coordinator) explains how working with diverse partners is key to creating sustainable water & soil management in Egypt, Kenya, Sudan & Ethiopia. 🤝🌱

“The #WATDEV toolbox is only as powerful as the data fed to it.” At the #WATDEVConference, Dr. Aggrey Agumya, ED @FARAinfo emphasized that effective water& soil management requires interoperable, real-time data systems, cross-border cooperation, trust, & strong capacity building

🔄 Effective solutions aren't just transferred - they must be understood, tested & adapted. 🌍 Julius Rono from @SNV shares his perspective on resilient agri-food management. #WATDEV tackled this by co-adapting its Toolbox with local farmers & experts. 👨‍🌾💡

At the #WaTDev International Conference in Nairobi, Dr Lilian Lihasi highlighted that sustainable adoption only works when we engage researchers, extension teams, farmer organizations, and the private sector in the co-creation of every innovation. #AFAAS #WaTDev2026

They committments to developed robust, data-driven business cases that demonstrate the economic value of climate resilience. This evidence is crucial to incentivizing government investment in best practices. #WATDEV #ClimateFinance #PublicPolicy #AFAAS

We must heavily invest in knowledge systems. Bridging scientific research with grassroots insights is the only way to build lasting, effective climate resilience. @afaasinfo ,ED -Dr Lilian Lihasi highlights during @WatDev1 Panel session. #KnowledgeIsPower #WATDEV #AFAAS

Interlinking research, modeling, and decision-making. Claudio BOGLIOTTI @CIHEAMBari emphasizes the importance of numerical & conceptual modeling for foresight and scenario planning. Inclusion of farmers and local communities key for co-creation and technology adaptation. #Watdev

"Partnership is the core of #WATDEV!" 🌍 Protecting water & soil while improving food security requires more than technical solutions - it takes cooperation between institutions, research, & communities. A great joint effort by @CIHEAMBari, @AICS_it, and @EU_Partnerships.

In the #WATDEV project, farmers' knowledge is the starting point. Tiberio Chiari (@itacoop_cairo) highlights the goal: to value local practices to support national planning. Listening, testing, and collaboration for better decisions. 🌍🤝 #Agriculture #Sustainability #Innovation

So far, yet so close! 🌍 The #WATDEV Final Conference adapted to recent health challenges by going hybrid, connecting partners from Nairobi to Cairo & Bari. Cross-border cooperation is at the heart of what we do. Silvia Lecci shares more! #WaterManagement #ClimateAdaptation
