Agricultural Water Management in Africa: Lessons Learned and Future Directions, 2026, pages 261-277
The article is closely linked to five key SDGs through its emphasis on gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) in agricultural water management. SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) highlights the critical role women play in food production and food security, underscoring the importance of ensuring equal access to water resources. SDG 5 (Gender Equality) focuses on reducing gender disparities, including unequal access to water resources and irrigation technologies. SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) calls for gender‑responsive approaches to water management. SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) stresses the need to ensure that marginalized groups, such as women and smallholder farmers, have equal rights to land and water resources. SDG 13 (Climate Action) advocates for integrating gender‑sensitive strategies into climate adaptation efforts related to agricultural water management. By aligning GESI principles with these SDGs, the article illustrates how inclusive approaches to agricultural water management can promote sustainable practices that alleviate poverty, strengthen food security, and support environmental sustainability, while also advancing social justice.
