THE SMART VILLAGES INITIATIVE
Focus: sustainable local energy solutions for rural communities
Policy advice: an insightful, ‘view from the frontline’ of the challenges of village energy provision for development, and how they can be overcome
Engagement: bringing together the key players: scientists, entrepreneurs, villagers, NGO’s, financers, regulators and policy makers etc:
What are the barriers? How can they be overcome? What messages to funders and policy makers?

THE SMART VILLAGES INITIATIVE
1. A key aim: identify framework conditions to:
■ foster entrepreneurial activities in delivering & using energy services
■ maximise leverage of public sector funding
2. An underlying premise: to maximise social benefit and development impact:
■ integrate energy access with other development initiatives
■ take a community level approach
3. An important concern:
■ to catalyse rapid progression through the various levels of energy access

WATER-ENERGY-FOOD (WEF) NEXUS
■ Water, energy and food are essential for human well-being and to meet the goals of sustainable poverty reduction and development
■ Sustainability of the natural resource base is under threat due to: Economic growth, over-exploitation of natural resources and eco-systems, urbanisation, climate change and rising population
Estimated increase in Energy, Water and Food Demand by 2050
e4sv.org
■ Nexus thinking dictates an interdisciplinary approach that brings to the fore inter-linkages between water, energy and food systems
■ A nexus approach helps understand the potential trade-offs and synergies in the utilisation of these resources - Identified as one of the High Impact Opportunities (HIOs) to achieve the Sustainable Energy 4 All targets (SE4All)
■ Such an approach can have a positive impact on sustainability by reducing trade-offs, help improve resource allocation and improve policy coherence

KEY QUESTIONS FOR THE WORKSHOP:■ How do global challenges arising from the interrelation
between water, energy and food impact at a local level in West Africa?
■ What are the synergies and trade-offs between water, energy and food, and how can these be balanced in a rural context?
■ How can sectoral barriers be overcome in order to realise synergies and avoid conflicts of interest?
■ How can the removal of these sectoral barriers spur rural development in West Africa?
■ What roles should the government and the local community play to facilitate access to water, energy and food for women?
