The Water-Energy-Food Nexus (WEF) approach seeks to include water, energy and food security to support a climate resilient and resource efficient future for all.
The Nexus program contributes to a better understanding of the deep interconnection between natural resources and their planning, management and consumption. At its core, the WEF Nexus promotes holistic and integrated conceptualization and focuses attention on opportunities: untangling trade-offs, inspiring agreements, discovering synergies, and promoting policy coherence and multisectoral cooperation at all levels.
The Nexus Regional Dialogues Programme, jointly funded by the European Union (EU) and the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), aims to institutionalize the WEF Nexus approach in national and regional governance structures and investment decisions. , and engage public and private investors for WEF Nexus projects. It is implemented in Central Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa, the Niger Basin, and Southern Africa, in cooperation with regional partner organizations.
The Nexus Regional Dialogues Program in Latin America and the Caribbean is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and supports ECLAC initiatives in the WEF Nexus in the region.
