This data set contains GIS source data files showing breakeven installed costs for solar PV system (unit: US$/Wp) over Africa South of Sahara calculated in a study that compares the economic cost of groundwater pumping for irrigation powered by so
The countries sharing the Niger River suffer from poor access to clean water and energy as well as food insecurity.
Growth in the livestock sector is associated with heightened risk for epidemic diseases.
Solar or diesel: A comparison of costs for groundwater‐fed irrigation in Sub‐Saharan Africa under two energy solutions
Sub‐Saharan Africa has long been beset with food insecurity and energy poverty. Expanding irrigated agriculture can help boost food production in the region, but this requires energy for accessing water, especially in groundwater‐fed irrigation.
Community-level spillover effects of an intervention to prevent intimate partner violence and HIV transmission in rural Ethiopia
Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is associated with adverse health and psychosocial outcomes.
The challenges posed by the water–food–energy nexus have been well documented.
Investments in energy are urgently needed in Sub-Saharan Africa. Such investments can unlock access to water resources, increase food security, accelerate rural employment, and increase income.
Estimation and determinants of multidimensional energy poverty among households in Nigeria
The sustainable use of clean and safe sources of energy is indeed a global challenge. Traditional and unsafe forms of energy use is predominant among households in sub-Saharan Africa.
Solarization of electric tube-wells for agriculture in Balochistan: Economic and environmental viability
Balochistan’s agriculture and related economic development during the last four decades has been driven by an enhancement in canal command areas and widespread use of tubewells.
Impact of COVID-19 on agricultural markets: Assessing the roles of commodity characteristics, disease caseload and market reforms
This paper assesses the impact of the spread of COVID-19 and the lockdown on wholesale prices and quantities traded in agricultural markets.
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is associated with increased HIV risk and other adverse health and psychosocial outcomes.
The ever-increasing demand for water, food, and energy is putting unsustainable pressure on natural resources worldwide, often leading to environmental degradation that, in turn, affect water, food, and energy security.
Epidemics and food systems: What gets framed, gets done
This brief article aims to interrogate some widely used concepts in framing the interactions between disease epidemics, food systems and nutrition, with a particular focus on the COVID-19 crisis.
