WHAT IT'S ABOUT

Climate change, population growth, and economic development are straining needs for fresh water, food, and energy. An integrated approach is essential to manage resources sustainably and secure healthy ecosystems. The Water Energy Food Ecosystems (WEFE) Nexus (or WEF Nexus) is a decision-making framework recognising interlinkages between sectors and aiming to maximise synergies while balancing trade-offs, for a more sustainable future.


Integrity is crucial for the successful implementation of WEFE Nexus programmes and initiatives. Transparency, accountability, participation, and anti-corruption measures provides a path to ensure equitable access to scarce resources, balance competing interests, manage trade-offs, and ensure resources are allocated in the public's interest.


The WIN integrity guidelines share recommendations on how best to work towards integrity in four governance areas:


🏦 INSTITUTIONS

Towards balanced, accountable decision-making;


ℹ️ INFORMATION

For open data sharing and strong capacity;


💲 INVESTMENT

To safeguarded finances and ensure sustainability;


✔️ IMPLEMENTATION

Towards participatory planning, and clear processes for control, monitoring, and reporting.
