What is a nexus? nexus* /ˈnɛksəs/ A connection or series of connections linking two or more things. A central or focal point. In policy circles, a new name for an evergreen idea: approaching challenges in a holistic, integrative, or trans-disciplinary way. * https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/nexus

A flexible concept that cuts across scales International body, Agency, Country Strategy Department, Ministry, Province Plan http://www.clipartkid.com/government-buildings-clip-art-PEnTbl-clipart/ http://www.clipartkid.com/2804-2528-realistic-style-group-of-office-workers-clipart-image-jpg-Rxl6qA-clipart/ https://img.clipartfox.com/d488436d665b3ac11ef244634fa8b2af_-free-vector-clip-art-free-clipart-irrigation_480-284.png It gets real once you get to country level Project, District, City Implementation

The Water-Energy-Food Nexus Recently, the “water-energy-food (security)” nexus has been a hot topic, but it is just one example, and its boundaries aren’t fixed Peter Jackson, chair of the 2016 Royal Geographical Society Annual International Conference

For the EMG Nexus Dialogue Series A nexus approach focuses on overlaps between sectors while respecting sectoral expertise in order to make better plans by understanding interactions

Why take a nexus approach? A general rule: Break complex issues down and address the components one by one Sector experts know their business, and trans-disciplinary expertise is rare, so breaking down along sectors is often a good strategy But if crucial decisions must be made at the nexus across sectors, a breakdown by sector creates risks A nexus approach focuses sector experts’ attention to overlaps The goal: Make better plans through an understanding of interactions

UN Language UN agencies have been applying “nexus” thinking, often without using the word, to problems that overlap domains. Terms you may have seen, heard or used: Interlinkages cross-sectoral partnerships integrated management synergies

There is a lot of potential…

…with many nexuses to explore

Challenges to a nexus approach There is no magic in nexus thinking. Challenges include: Overcoming unequal motivation for different sectors Negotiating diverse institutional cultures Resolving conflicts with agency or ministry mandates Persisting in the face of competing priorities Closing the gap between planning and implementation Engaging stakeholders in a meaningful way Regardless, nexus dialogues can provide a shared view of the landscape
