Rural development to build resilience to global change
The scarcity of water resources is a phenomenon that is intensifying under the effect of the strong pressure on water and climate change impacting mainly the most vulnerable rural communities. The latter are dependent on water resources for their socio-economic activities.
Moreover, the real needs of the vulnerable rural population are not really taken into account and sufficiently represented in the decision-making process concerning hydro-agricultural investment projects and territorial development.
