Developing Capacity for Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems (WEFE) Nexus Actors, Including Emerging Women Leaders: Foundations of the WEFE Nexus Leadership Program in Nepal

CGIAR’s NEXUS Gains Initiative aims to realize gains across water, energy, food, and ecosystems (with a focus on forests and biodiversity) in selected transboundary river basins by leading global nexus thinking and providing tools, guidelines, training and facilitation for analysis, and research for development. Work Package 5 of NEXUS Gains specifically aims to develop the capacity of WEFE actors. A core component of the capacity strengthening program is a leadership development package tailored to WEFE nexus leaders, with emphasis on emerging women leaders. Against this backdrop, this concept note outlines the planned co-development and implementation of the WEFE Nexus Leadership Program targeted at women and men professionals who are emerging WEFE sector leaders in Nepal.
