Nexus governance ?
Expectations from governance: Basics
• Define agendas
• Grant power
• Exercise leadership
Called for
• Facilitate participation
• Implement under rule of law
• Verify performance

What is a nexus government body?Should there be such nexus government bodies?
"governance" is what a "governing body" doesProblem: lack of established governing body for nexus
governance
Solutions:First best - establish Nexus governing bodies
Second best - establish intra-governmental consultative mechanisms for Nexus-governance
Both solutions entail transactions costs
Realism suggests to gradually move from second best to first best solution

Nexus Approach :Opportunities and Governance Challenges
• NEXUS system changes are driven by demand, prices, technology, resource constraints > governments need knowledge about the powerful forces to govern and provide frameworks!
• NEXUS approaches are needed to tap positive and avoid negative externalities > needs rule making / governance!
• Investments in the NEXUS areas (sector overlaps) yield high returns > investments need governance!

The governance challenges of
water, soil and waste
Governance done in isolation
• Water: public, private and contested
• Soil: private and neglected
• Waste: public, private and regulated and
mismanaged
The challenge to govern the nexus aspects of
water, soil, waste; but how?

Lessons: governance challenges of
water, soil and waste
Lessons from examples:
1. Water, soil, waste: all three have local and
national and global governance challenges
2. Nexus approach needs a way of
comprehensive systems thinking and nexus
governance needs platforms for coordination
and action

Challenges of water, soil and waste
cannot be governed effectively and
efficiently in centralized ways
Nexus governance does not only require
• inter-departmental and
• trans-disciplinary cooperation and action, but
requires
• coordination accross government levels
(between central and local), and
• between national governments
![Page 19: 01 - von Braun - Nexus governance and institutional arrangements … · 2019-03-29 · Nexus governance and institutional arrangements for inclusive planning and management - water,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060512/5f2a99b50c19874dc27d0091/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Emphasis on local governance in
combination with global rule-making
• Requires well functioning decentralization –fortunately positive world wide trend towardbetter decentralization
• The three elements of effective decentralizationmatter for nexus governance:
1. Administrative decentralization
2. Political decentralization
3. Fiscal decentralization

Water, soil, waste related services
need nexus governance
Services:
• Water - availability, access, quality
• Soil - ecosystems services
• Waste – management, and prevention
Decentralized services depend on design- and context-
specific factors. Institutional arrangements that
work in one situation may not be appropriate for
another: move “from best practice to good fit.”

Strategy and Tactics for promoting nexus governance
and institutions in water, land and waste
Strategy Tactics
Involve powerful
actors in social groups
Global learning but
also at local levels
Alliance building with
related nexus
movements (climate
change, energy,
agriculture and food)
![Page 25: 01 - von Braun - Nexus governance and institutional arrangements … · 2019-03-29 · Nexus governance and institutional arrangements for inclusive planning and management - water,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060512/5f2a99b50c19874dc27d0091/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Strategic orientation for strengthening nexus
governance and management related to
water, soil, waste
Must not create new bigger, better silos, but
be inclusive and flexible accross structures
Direct government-to-government networks
may be the most effective mechanisms,
rather than intergovernmental or
international organizations to act on nexus
governance
![Page 26: 01 - von Braun - Nexus governance and institutional arrangements … · 2019-03-29 · Nexus governance and institutional arrangements for inclusive planning and management - water,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060512/5f2a99b50c19874dc27d0091/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• Institutional effectiveness:
- Strengthening WSW ownership and use rights
- integrating WSW polices
• Involve consumers and business:
- labeling water, soil and waste foot prints
- Incentive systems for waste prevention and recovery
• Innovation support:
- Sharing innovations especially with developing countries
- Experimenting with institutional and technical designs
- Evidence based impact assessments
Some tasks for UNU-Flores:
toward strengthening nexus governance and
management related to water, soil, waste

Way forward with nexus – UNU
FLORES can support
• Facilitation of results oriented connectionamong key sustainability goals (effectiveimplementation of MDGs+2015)
• Facilitate stakeholders‘voice and platforms, (i.e. pre-governance; business and politicalbodies)
• Nexus end-game needs identification and nexus conferencing stream needs coordinationfor staying on a useful track
