Very nice movie and blog piece, thanks Ilse and Michael ! And please to see the efforts of our colleagues in Bangladesh highlighted here.
As you noted this project did not come out of the blue. Indeed, like many other ecosystem based innovations, drew upon 10 years of previous research within CPWF, the CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food. The project depicted here was actually one of the 4 Research into Use projects designed by CPWF during its second phase, and funded by the CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems, as a financial counterpart of an IFAD large grant on Mainstreaming Innovations from CPWF.
