sustainably reducing global poverty. The focus of their work
in the past has been working with communities that depend
on the aquatic environment. That remit has expanded as they
take a much more holistic view of poverty and the livelihoods
of rural people.They are involved in a range of projects and
programmes linked into this aim and work with a diversity
of partners in the process.
