A workshop on Climate, Land, Energy, and Water Systems (CLEWs) was held in Swapkomund, Namibia from 27-30 August to provide a refresher course of the country tailored model and conduct policy scenario analysis. The main objective of the workshop was to guide participants in the development of scenarios to inform the National Development Plan (NDP6). Thematic groups were established to work on three key policy issues: 1) Agricultural modernization and food security; 2) Biomass power plant as an alternative to electricity imports and 3) water security. The implementation of the CLEWs methodology and institutional arrangements is being carried out as part of the UNPDF project, in collaboration with the Namibian government, the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), the Resident Coordinator Office (RCO) Namibia, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO Namibia), the World Food Programme (WFP Namibia), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP Namibia), the University of Namibia (UNAM), and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UN ECA).
