Harmony in Action: The WEFE Community

About the WEFE Nexus Hub

A regional Knowledge Management Platform that connects Water–Energy–Food–Ecosystems (WEFE), moving the work from THINK to DO.

INWRDAM’s WEFE Hub is a Knowledge Management Platform addressing the interdependencies between water, energy, food and ecosystems across MENA & SEMED—enabling knowledge dissemination, stakeholder collaboration and informed decision-making.

Established under the project “Establishment and Institutionalization of WEFE Nexus Hub for MENA” (as part of the UfM WEFE Program funded by Sida), the Hub embeds the WEFE approach into institutional frameworks and operational practices.

Purpose-built to institutionalize WEFE thinking and accelerate implementation on the ground.

Core Components

Knowledge Hub

Institutionalized knowledge management across W-E-F-E sectors; structured and integrated to avoid silos and improve sharing.

Project Generation

Systematically identifies ideas and bankable opportunities that take the Nexus from strategy into implementation.

Project Implementation

Practical delivery with monitoring, analytics and replication of success stories across basins and regions.

A Tool for the Community of Practice (CoP)

The Hub powers a network for continuous learning and collaboration—backed by a robust digital infrastructure—so the CoP can exchange experiences, access real-time insights and drive evidence-based policy.

A Paradigm Shift

From theory → practice

Moving beyond slow, study-heavy approaches to market-driven vocational training and field execution.

From problems → opportunities

Replicating success stories, accelerating adoption and scaling practical solutions.

From national → basin/region

Centering local contexts and the interconnectedness of systems at various scales.

Advancing Collaborative Solutions

Integrated Resource Management

Participatory, cross-sector integration of water, energy, food and ecosystems.

Stakeholder Collaboration

Regional dialogue; sharing best practices, success stories and innovations.

Open Contributions

Channels for users to contribute publications, stories, news and events.

Insights via WEFE Index

Data-driven decisions and stronger advocacy for the Nexus approach.

Capacity Strengthening
