Abstract:
This case study delves into the potential for advancing Water, Energy, Food, and Ecosystem (WEFE) nexus governance within Nepal’s federal structure, with a specific focus on policy and institutional dimensions. Centering on the water sector, the article explores the emerging opportunities for championing a nexus approach in the federal governance system despite prevailing policy and institutional hurdles. Leveraging insights from institutional mapping and analysis as part of a broader study on WEFE Nexus Governance in Federal Nepal, the article offers empirical insights from interviews and discussions with key stakeholders spanning both state and non-state sectors engaged in WEFE governance.
