Climate, Land, Energy, Water and Development in Africa

This project is developing regional economic projection and policy assessment models to investigate sustainable development pathways and investments for countries in Africa, and decision-making under uncertainty, with the goal of evaluating risks to different investment options in energy and water. The work involves development of a disaggregated model of Africa with policy and energy simulation; a review of decision-making under uncertainty methods; and an application of the method to selected countries (Kenya, Nigeria and Senegal).
