The workshop focused on deepening stakeholder engagement<\/strong> through the practical application of the NEXUS Ranking System<\/strong>, a key analytical tool developed to evaluate how \u201cNEXUS-friendly\u201d management plans are. This system supports decision-makers in assessing the extent to which water, energy, food, and ecosystems considerations are integrated into planning processes.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
During the breakout sessions<\/strong>, participants applied the NEXUS Ranking System to the Programme of Measures<\/strong> within Malta\u2019s 3rd River Basin Management Plan<\/strong>, promoting collaboration and hands-on reflection on the country\u2019s water and environmental priorities. The activity not only fostered multi-sectoral dialogue but also provided valuable insights into the potential of Nexus-based evaluation for national policy development.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][dsm_image_carousel _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” gallery_ids=”4406224,4406225,4406226,4406227,4406228,4406229″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/dsm_image_carousel][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n
