Project title: Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus Approach in Central Asia Implementation period: Ongoing since 2018 Region: Central Asia Partners: CAREC, GIZ, SDC, ESCAP, EC IFAS, national ministries and expert networks
The Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus approach aims to promote integrated and cross-sectoral planning to ensure the sustainable management of water, energy, and food resources. In Central Asia, where these sectors are strongly interlinked and depend on shared natural resources, this approach offers a framework for balancing competing demands and improving regional cooperation.
Impact
Improved understanding of interdependencies between water, energy, and agriculture
Greater alignment of policies across sectors
Enhanced cooperation among Central Asian countries on shared resource management
