Description The Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources Policy Analysis Network (FANRPAN) contracted the
Center for Agriculture Research and Development (CARD) to undertake the economic analysis of
the benefits and costs of the MUS Project with the principal aim of drawing lessons from the
project’s experience with regard to achieving developmental impacts through research as well as
providing basis for addressing “efficiency and effectiveness” questions of multiple-use approaches
over single-use approaches. The analysis was conducted at the request of the Challenge Program on
Water and Food (CPWF) “CPWF Adoption and Cost-Benefit Analysis Project” against the
background that the MUS Project, implemented in eight countries since 2004, had identified
considerable change/impact at local, national and even global levels in terms of adoption of the
concept of supplying water to meet multiple needs.
The analysis of benefits and costs in this report was meant to build on the Winrock study whose
analysis centered on the incremental benefits, poverty impacts and costs of multiple use approaches
relative to single use approaches. While the Winrock study provided useful and important
information and guided the identification of benefits and costs of the MUS Project, the analysis in
this report also uses the technical approach for evaluating research and advocay projects. The use of
the latter approach is due to data limitations as a result of the research nature of the MUS Project.
The analysis focuses on the extent of influence the MUS Project appeared to have had on the
changes/impacts observed in the basins/countries rather than whether the MUS Project directly
produced the observed results. The analysis merely relates the MUS Project activities with the
results reported in the five basins by examining the benefits that have accrued or are likely to accrue
in the future that would not have happened without the CPWF project investment support.
