Nexus Governance and the Role of Institutions

Introduction Political and administration needs, particularly good organization, management and operation are among the drivers for developing Government institutions in all regions of the world; the Arab region is no exception. Institutions responsible for sectors, such as water, energy, agriculture are developed independently due, in part, to the focus of self-determining needs and the necessity to limit managerial Complexityof large administrations. However, today the increasing scale and nature of global and strongly interlinked challenges, such as climate change, population and economic growth, exceed global boundaries and national resource limitations. As external and internal drivers and pressures increase, the inter-dependencies and impacts among many of these sectors are being heightened. Under such conditions, meeting growing demand for water, energy and food generate immense challenges to Arab countries.
