| Population and economic growth in the Kenya-Ugandan border region has led to an increasing demand for food, water and energy resources. Mitigation measures designed to address these agricultural and hydrological aspects of the so-called Water – Energy – Food security (WEF) nexus are central. The activities carried out in the project are threefold:
1. Establishing the foundations for capacity building on the WEF nexus in Kenya and Uganda: Reviewing international and regional scientific literature and carrying out case study research projects in the Kenyan-Ugandan border region on the water household, erosion, soil and water conservation measures, and biomass utilization, thereby establishing a data- and knowledge base for WEF nexus investigation and capacity building.
2. Capacity building on the WEF nexus at University level
3. Capacity building on the WEF nexus at non-University level
