We are thrilled to invite you to an insightful webinar focused on innovative approaches to Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus management in Africa, featuring case studies from the ONEPlanET project. This virtual event will take place on Thursday, 25th July 2024, from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM WAT.
Event Overview
The webinar will present findings from three representative case studies: the Songwe River Basin (Malawi/Tanzania), Inkomati-Usuthu (South Africa), and Bani River Basin (Mali). These case studies highlight diverse basin types, climate conditions, and socio-ecological systems, providing valuable insights into the complexities of WEF Nexus management. This diversity is crucial to the project’s co-creation process, making it essential to deeply understand local needs and challenges to develop user-centered educational materials and policy recommendations.
