With increasing demands and pressures on energy, food and water resources in the region of Eastern Nile Basin, development projects and also conflict potential along the Nile waters have increased. This study presents data on resource use patterns and reviews literature on cooperation potential among Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia in the sectors of water, energy and food. It introduces the resource use profiles of the countries in the three sectors and summarizes common challenges to resource security and in regard to cross-cutting issues, such as like climate risks and sedimentationland degradation. The study also highlights the issues for transboundary cooperation using resources within and beyond the Nile. It emphasizes the importance of regional integration, using current country-specific potentials for easing river sharing conflicts and fostering human development of riparian countries. https://books.google.de/books?hl=en&lr=&id=hXIsDwAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PA103&dq=info:DvHPqpg336QJ:scholar.google.com&ots=LBebLkWuDI&sig=mLwN5E1w8JEZ8-qcXD3EbIPtDlo&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false

This study compares energy data on different countries in the Middle East and North Africa region (MENA) to assess energy use patterns in the water and food sectors. It first introduces an interdisciplinary energy security index for MENA countries considering available energy reserves and the energy footprint of the two sectors. Later, the study discusses energy use patterns across countries using different water and food production technologies
