“…The results from these studies suggest that (1) irrigation has strong poverty reducing potential through its direct and indirect growth promoting linkages and positive impacts at the local, regional and national levels; (2) poverty is much more and deeper in marginal and non-irrigated areas compared to that in irrigated areas, and the latter areas also continue to be homes to large number of the poor; (3) poverty varies significantly across systems, so do its causes and characteristics; (4) the impacts of irrigation on poverty vary across settings and the magnitude of the anti-poverty impacts of irrigation depend on a number of factors, which include: a) structure of land distribution -(in) equity in land distribution -and land quality; b) condition of the irrigation infrastructure and its management, c) irrigation water management, allocation and distribution procedures and practices, d) irrigation and production technologies/methods, cropping patterns and crop diversification, e) support measures, e.g., information, input and output marketing; and 5) indirect impacts of irrigation on incomes and poverty, which are often much larger than the direct impacts realized at the micro/local level (see Ahmad et al, 2004for Bangladesh, Wang et al, 2004for China, Sivamohan et al, 2004for India, Arif et al, 2004for Indonesia, Jehangir et al, 2004for Pakistan, Hussain et al, 2004for Sri Lanka, Tuan et al, 2004for Vietnam, and Hussain, 2004 for summary of country studies). To the best of our knowledge there are no studies available on irrigation and poverty impacts for Indonesia, except our recent study (Arif et al, 2004), that provides the basis for this paper.…”

This paper analyzes irrigation-poverty linkages, and determines how and to what extent irrigation contributes to poverty alleviation, and whether there are any spatial patterns in poverty in irrigation systems. It also identifies conditions under which irrigation has greater anti-poverty impacts. The analysis is based on primary data collected during the 2000-2001 agricultural year, from four selected irrigation systems and rainfed areas in Java. The results indicate that irrigation has significant poverty reducing impacts. Poverty varies across irrigation systems and across locations within the systems. In general, crop productivity is relatively higher and poverty is lower in middle parts of the systems compared to head and tail parts. Further, locational differences in poverty are more pronounced in larger systems where locational inequities in water distribution and productivity differences are also high. Crop productivity, the size of landholdings and location of households are important determinants of poverty, in addition to demographic factors such as family size. The smaller the systems with well managed infrastructure, relatively equitable water distribution and diversified cropping patterns supported with market infrastructure, the greater the poverty reducing impacts of irrigation. Overall, the study findings suggest that improving the performance of irrigation systems by enhancing land and water productivity, diversifying cropping patterns and improving water distribution across locations would help reduce poverty in presently low productivity-high poverty parts of the systems.

Malnutrition, which affects roughly 2 billion people worldwide, is among the country’s most pressing health issues. In comparison to other developing nations, Pakistan has one of the worst prevalence of childhood malnutrition. We’ll explore how people in poor countries manage food scarcity. Owing to low per capita income and a lack of purchasing power for fundamental food staples that meet the human body’s nutritional demands. Malnourished children in Pakistan suffer from stunting, wasting, and being underweight. The causes of child malnutrition and stunting in Pakistan are discussed in this chapter, as well as the impact of numerous factors on stunting and the types of intervention methods and practices that should be devised and executed to address the problem.
