Pathwise - Pathways to activate the WSEFH nexus in marginalised communities through renewable energy

Welcome to Pathwise, a pioneering research project funded by The South African National Research Foundation (NRF) and the Dutch Research Council (NWO), officially titled "Pathways to Activate the WSEFH Nexus in Marginalised Communities through Renewable Energy Solutions". Our project is dedicated to developing innovative and actionable pathways that leverage renewable energy to address critical food, water, sanitation, and health risks in South Africa's marginalized communities. Our mission extends beyond the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus to include sanitation and health (WSEFH), providing valuable insights and scalable solutions for communities across Africa and beyond. Our Team The consortium of this research project is formed by the following organizations: Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) University of Twente (UT) University of Johannesburg (UJ) University of the Western Cape (UWC) Water For The Future (WFTF) Our Vision We envision a future where marginalized communities have reliable access to energy, which in turn ensures their access to clean water, nutritious food, quality health services, and proper sanitation. Our renewable waste-to-energy solutions, innovative microgrid designs and supportive policy toolkits will provide pathways for this transformation. Join us in revolutionizing energy access and making a lasting impact on the lives of those who need it most. Together, we can create a resilient, sustainable future for all.
