Project objectives
• DAFNE stands for Decision-Analytic Framework to explore the water-
energy-food NExus in complex and transboundary water resources
systems of fast growing developing countries
• DAFNE advocates an integrated water resources management
approach, which explicitly addresses the Water-Energy-Food (WEF)
nexus.
• It supports the promotion of a green economy in regions where
infrastructure development and expanding agriculture have to be
balanced with local social, economic, and environmental dimensions.
• DAFNE will analyse and quantify the WEF nexus with respect to the
trade-offs between conflicting objectives, such as hydropower
production vs. irrigation and land exploitation vs. conservation.
• The overall objective is to establish a decision-analytic framework
(DAF) for Participatory and Integrated Planning (PIP).
4
The Decision-Analytic Framework
The DAF is intended to be a quantitative assessment tool to facilitate social
understanding of the impact and support comparative analysis of
alternative pathways.
It will be developed through extensive, quantitative analysis of the
anticipated effects of alternative planning options on the broad range of
heterogeneous and often competing interests in transboundary river basins,
also addressing feedback mechanisms between the WEF components
It will be informed by, improved upon and validated through:
a) active engagement of stakeholders throughout the process, and
b) involvement of international and local academic expertise (water
engineering, agricultural sciences, natural sciences, environmental
economics, water governance and law)

• 2,700 km, 1.32 million km2
• longest east flowing river in
Africa
• 9 riparian states (Zambia,
DR Congo, Angola,
Namibia, Botswana,
Zimbabwe, Mozambique,
Malawi, Tanzania).
Four large hydropower dams since the 1970s (Kariba, Cahora Bassa, Itezhi-
Tezhi and Kafue Gorges)
WEF Issues: resource availability vs population density, expansion of irrigated
agriculture, additional hydropower schemes, ecosystem conservation and
expanding tourism.

DAFNE Expected Outcomes
Innovative aspects
1. Advances	in	environmental	monitoring:	remote	sensing	will	be	combined	
with	UAV-based	data	collection	to	supplement	the	currently	limited	ground	
monitoring	capacity	at	a	low	cost;
2. Comprehensive	modelling	and	integrated	WEF	model
3. Water	management	and	planning	based	on	robust	Decision	Analytic	
Framework
4. Methods	and	tools	to	facilitate	and	promote	stakeholder	engagement	and	
participation in	decision	making	
5. Improved	methods	for	practical	interactions	between	science	and	policy
leading	to	a	strong	applicability of	the	above	innovations
6. Transfer	of	knowledge	on	methods,	monitoring	and	modelling	(Geo-portal)

Dafne project overview Lusaka

  • 1. www.dafne-project.eu @dafne_project DECISION ANALYTIC FRAMEWORK TO EXPLORE THE WATER-ENERGY-FOOD NEXUS IN COMPLEX TRANSBOUNDARY WATER RESOURCES OF FAST DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. Funded under the H2020 Framework Programme of the EU, GA No. 690268 PROJECT OVERVIEW Paolo Burlando ETH Zurich paolo.burlando@ethz.ch
  • 2. 2 DAFNE Partners Participant Country Eidgenoessische Technische Hochschule Zürich Switzerland Politecnico di Milano Italy Int. Centre for Research on the Environment and the Economy Greece Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Belgium The University Court of the University of Aberdeen United Kingdom Osnabrück University Germany International Water Management Institute IWMI Sri Lanka African Collaborative Centre for Earth System Science Kenya TBA Ethiopia University of Zambia Zambia Universidade Eduardo Mondlane Mozambique Vista Geowissenschaftliche Fernerkundung GmbH Germany ATEC-3D Ltd. United Kingdom European Institute for Participatory Media EV Germany
  • 3. 3 Project objectives • DAFNE stands for Decision-Analytic Framework to explore the water- energy-food NExus in complex and transboundary water resources systems of fast growing developing countries • DAFNE advocates an integrated water resources management approach, which explicitly addresses the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus. • It supports the promotion of a green economy in regions where infrastructure development and expanding agriculture have to be balanced with local social, economic, and environmental dimensions. • DAFNE will analyse and quantify the WEF nexus with respect to the trade-offs between conflicting objectives, such as hydropower production vs. irrigation and land exploitation vs. conservation. • The overall objective is to establish a decision-analytic framework (DAF) for Participatory and Integrated Planning (PIP).
  • 4. 4 The Decision-Analytic Framework The DAF is intended to be a quantitative assessment tool to facilitate social understanding of the impact and support comparative analysis of alternative pathways. It will be developed through extensive, quantitative analysis of the anticipated effects of alternative planning options on the broad range of heterogeneous and often competing interests in transboundary river basins, also addressing feedback mechanisms between the WEF components It will be informed by, improved upon and validated through: a) active engagement of stakeholders throughout the process, and b) involvement of international and local academic expertise (water engineering, agricultural sciences, natural sciences, environmental economics, water governance and law)

  • 14. 14 DAFNE Expected Outcomes Innovative aspects 1. Advances in environmental monitoring: remote sensing will be combined with UAV-based data collection to supplement the currently limited ground monitoring capacity at a low cost; 2. Comprehensive modelling and integrated WEF model 3. Water management and planning based on robust Decision Analytic Framework 4. Methods and tools to facilitate and promote stakeholder engagement and participation in decision making 5. Improved methods for practical interactions between science and policy leading to a strong applicability of the above innovations 6. Transfer of knowledge on methods, monitoring and modelling (Geo-portal)
