COVID-19 and the water–energy–food nexus in Africa: Evidence from Nigeria, Uganda, and Tanzania

Water, energy, and food are necessary resources for wellbeing and economic development. The physical and economic access to these resources in most Sub-Saharan countries remains very low while the outbreak of COVID-19 is projected to worsen the situation.

Therefore, this study aims to assess the impacts of COVID-19 on the access to water, energy, and food as well as to identify innovations in water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) practices and examine the current policy interventions in Nigeria, Uganda, and Tanzania.

An online survey through a Google Forms sampling 842 respondents was adopted and responses were analyzed. Results indicate that there is an insignificant correlation of COVID-19 with water and energy access in all the three countries. However, there is a significant relationship with food access in all the three countries though still minimal in Tanzania. Interestingly, there is an improvement in WASH due to increased local innovations and continued mass sensitization. The study highly recommends policies that could improve affordability and encourage innovations in the factors studied.

Financial Guideline for Clean Energy

There are several mechanisms that promote the funding of renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE) solutions. Following discussions with various financiers (commercial, alternative, developmental and governmental), this guideline unpacks the elements and factors considered by funders of RE and EE projects in South Africa.

Stepping Up Women's STEM Careers in Infrastructure : Case Studies

This report describes a variety of ways to level the pathway for women entering into and progressing in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) employment within the infrastructure sectors—energy and extractives; water; transport; and digital development. 
 
Volume 1 distills the findings from an extensive literature review, a global stocktaking exercise, key informant interviews, and five case studies in order to provide World Bank Group project teams with insights that they can use to support women’s STEM careers in infrastructure at each stage of their careers—from initial attraction to the sectors and job recruitment, to retention within organizations, and advancement to managerial and leadership roles.

Variable Renewable Energy Integration and Planning Study

This report is intended to answer the following critical questions for the future planning of the Pakistan electricity sector: What is the optimal energy mix over the next 10 to 20 years when considering economic, technical, and environmental factors? What are the implications for the basket cost of power, energy security, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions? Can the Pakistan electricity system handle much higher penetrations of variable renewable energy (VRE) such as solar and wind?...
