ONEPlanET – OpeN source nExus modelling tools for Planning sustainable Energy Transition in Africa

The ONEPlanET project, a consortium of African and European partners, seeks to empower African policymakers, researchers, investors, and citizens with the knowledge and tools needed to increase clean energy production while reducing inequalities and cultural and social gaps.

ONEPlanET will co-design and test a Toolkit, built upon existing WEF Nexus models and methodologies, that allows to simulate scenarios to optimize existing resources with the most appropriate policies considering social, climate, economic and biophysical constraints. In addition, a Knowledge Hub including a set of capacity-building materials and knowledge exchange activities will also be developed. ONEPlanET will undertake a participatory approach to building local communities in three African case studies: Songwe (Malawi/Tanzania), Inkomati-Usuthu area (South Africa) and Niger (Nigeria) river basins.

TPG role
