Abstract

The NEXUS philosophy is one of the most significant aspects of the United Nations Agenda 2030. One of the cardinal principles of the Agenda 2030 is “leaving no one behind”, and as such, the provision of universal access to energy, water and food to all and sundry is a key aspiration. In that regard, this paper gives an overview of the progress registered using the Sahel region of Africa as a case study. The article Proposes a method for assessing the current situation of countries in the Sahel based on energy, water and food data. The proposed method is based on 9 indicators which have been identified as sensible for the analysis. Ten countries including Burkina Faso, Chad, Mauritania, Niger, Cameroon, The Gambia, Mali, Senegal, Guinea, and Nigeria were studied, and the results shows that only eight countries have attained fifty percent progress in the overall nexus index and two are below fifty percent. The findings of this study are important for policy makers, international donor agencies as well as philanthropies.
