Integrated Resource Management in Asian Cities:
the urban Nexus (water, energy, food/land use)
• Time frame: 2013 - 2015
• Political Partner: UN ESCAP (Bangkok, Thailand)
• Implementation Partner: International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI
SEAS)
• Financed by BMZ (German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation & Development)
Approach:
•
Introduction of innovative engineering technologies in the area of waste water and solid
waste management, generation of energy, link to (urban) agriculture, EE in/of buildings
•
Holistic/integrated urban planning/breaking open of „silo“ thinking (creation of Nexus
Task Forces in cities) (multi sectoral)
•
Multi level approach (micro, meso, macro, supraregional)
•
Private sector, civil sector, state/communal
•
Grounded/concrete demonstration projects/PFS/FS/scaling up

What have we learnt?
What have we reached?
Technical areas looked into:
• Waste water management (close the loop from water saving, waste water
recycling, use for irrigation, energy production, residues for agriculture),
• Solid waste management (waste collection, processing, energy production,
residues for agriculture)
• Affordable, low-cost housing for inclusive cities,
• Energy efficiency of buildings.
Demonstration projects studied and ready for implementation.
Cooperation with ADB and World Bank established.

What have we learnt?
What have we reached?
Nexus cannot be implemented by local governments alone, because of:
• Institutional fragmentation giving little autonomy to the cities
• Charges for urban services (tariffs) are not always mandated by local
governments (and not cost covering/not consumption oriented)
• Water availability, flooding, contaminated or rivers drying out, land availability
for sanitary landfill etc. cannot be solved within city boundaries
• Organizational structures on meso/regional level between the Municipalities
are needed
• Required financing/funds not available on city level

What have we learnt?
What have we reached?
Cross sectoral approach on national level
• Planning (also Regional Planning), Coordination and Finance Ministries such
as NEDA, BAPPENAS etc. are theoretically “natural” supporters to the
municipalities for the Nexus approach as they are cross sectoral,
• They are also the Ministries negotiating development cooperation with donors,
• Ministries of natural resources are natural Nexus allies, however energy is not
within their mandates,
• Water and waste water falls under different Ministries, agencies, etc.

Conclusions
New formats:
• The national – local –dialogue on the basis of case studies
• Recognition and strengthening of the role of meso level/regional
organizations
• Peer learning
• Public consultations including gender considerations

Conclusions
Incremental change is not sufficient
• Transformation required
• Need of drivers of change, the famous champions
Transformation takes place on the basis of:
Vision
Technology
Crisis as driver of change !?
