We describe in this paper the implementation of E-Water, an open software Decision Support System (DSS), designed to help local managers assess the Water Energy Food Environment (WEFE) nexus.
This project, requested by the African Ministers of Water to DG Devco, intends to scale up the approach of the phase I of the project (pilot project) and to address the lack of sustainability in capacity building in the water sector in Africa.
The main activities of the project will consist in:
• Strengthening of two existing NEPAD water Centres of Excellence networks in West and Southern Africa;
• Creation of two NEPAD water Centres of Excellence network in Central and Eastern Africa;
The aim of the Knowledge Forum will be also to facilitate knowledge exchange and to develop new projects.
Featured activities of the Knowledge Forum on Water Security and
Climate Change:
•Invited keynotes
•Enhancing partnerships on water security and climate change
