International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) organized a state consultation workshop on 14 December 2023 on ‘Policy Coherence in Food, Land, and Water (FLW) Systems: A case study of Odisha’ at Bhubaneswar as a part of the CGIAR Research Initiative on National Policies and Strategies Initiatives (NPS). The Food, Land and Water (FLW) project aims to identify key state-level policies in the food, land, and water systems that have a practical scope for improving coherence and hold most potential for creating an impact. The workshop was organized in partnership with the Department of Agriculture and Farmers’ Empowerment, Government of Odisha.
As a part of the study, nine important state-level policies were identified. The presentation outlined the interplay between key food, land, and water policies in Odisha, focusing on the NPS initiative. It detailed the goals, policy selection process, and analytical framework for stakeholder engagement. Notable convergence programs like Krushak Assistance for Livelihood and Income Augmentation (KALIA), Odisha Millet Mission (OMM), Canal Lining and System Rehabilitation Programme (CLSRP), and Odisha Integrated Irrigation Project for Climate Resilient Agriculture (OIIPCRA) were highlighted for their lessons in policy coherence.
Recommendations include emphasizing outcome-based impact evaluation, incorporating climate change resilience, and evaluating policies holistically using indicators like irrigation efficiency and farmers’ income. Efforts to promote convergence in marketing, value addition, and coordination with fisheries and horticulture policies were also emphasized.
