Multiple-use water services move beyond the conventional sectoral barriers of the domestic and productive sectors and provide for all water needs in a community. The CGIAR Challenge Program-Multiple-Use Water Systems (CP-MUS) project was funded by a grant from the Challenge Program on Water and Food with the International Water Management Institute as the lead organization.

The project was focused on developing guidelines for multiple-use water services delivery as an effective way to use water for poverty alleviation and gender equity.
