Acting for Cooperation in the Water Sector in the Mediterranean - NEXUS

The project aims to develop and evaluate the inherent links of the NEXUS approach "Water, Food Security, Energy, Ecosystems". The project focuses on three components namely:

  • A NEXUS assessment "Water, Food Security, Energy, Ecosystems" to map and describe / characterize the interconnections in the use and management of water, land, energy and ecosystems ;
  • An institutional analysis and evaluation of options for strengthening trans-boundary cooperation between the countries,
  • The development of a common vision of the management of the NWSAS reflecting the priorities and aspirations of the countries and stakeholders of the different sectors using the water resources and setting out the general guidance of the trans-boundary cooperation.
