Brief Description

The proposed project aims to develop a sustainable and integrated management approach interconnecting the food, water and energy nexus and helping to manage the impact of the Covid-19 situation. More specifically, the project will assist the beneficiary countries to identify and develop best practices and measures to apply a cross-cutting nexus approach to food systems, water and energy management. The project is designed to strengthen natural resource management by harnessing the interlinkages of food-energy-water nexus to provide targeted assistance to selected beneficiary countries and promoting multilateral cooperation at national, regional and inter-regional levels for socio-economic recovery ecosystem restoration and resilience building in rural and urban settings. The three pillars of the projects are: (1) Food security and sustainable production and consumption patterns: End hunger, achieve food security and promote sustainable food systems and agriculture (2) Water, sanitation and hygiene: Ensure availability and equitable access to water, sanitation and hygiene for all for good health and well-being (3) Energy and raw material supply: Ensure secure, resilient and sustainable consumption and production patterns

Objective and Expected Outcomes

Objective
Strengthening capacities in target countries in resilient natural resource management using the food-water-energy nexus approach to advance the post-COVID-19 socio-economic recovery.
Expected Outcome 1
Improved knowledge by national institutions in the food-water-energy nexus approach for the inclusive and equitable provision of food, water, sanitation and hygiene, energy and raw materials to support the post-COVID-19 socio-economic recovery.
Expected Outcome 2
Strengthened capacity of national institutions to develop and implement food-water-energy nexus policy framework to build resilience in a safe, secure and sustainable supply of food, water and energy.
