Also taking into account the proceedings of the discussions during the dedicated sessions and working groups in the context of the 6th Drin Stakeholders Conference (Ohrid, North Macedonia, 14-15 Nov 2018), the Report shows that there are at least three areas where improving cross-sectoral governance could bring a significant positive impact for the basin:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> <strong>Energy and water, because of the key role of hydropower operators in flow regulation and the management of floods (and droughts) and because of the necessity to increase resilience to water stress across the economy;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><strong>Energy, forestry, and water, to upgrade the value chain of wood biomass, improve forest management in the basin, and in turn better manage erosion and sedimentation;<\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><strong><strong>Agriculture and water, because of the need to boost a sector that is key for the rural economy but that is currently stagnating and unsustainable.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nexus Thematic Report includes a qualitative analysis of the above inter-sectoral dynamics, with emphasis on the potential of regional cooperation as a driver of positive change. It also points at the further analytical work that is needed to quantify the benefits of cooperation. Overall, addressing the nexus of water, food, and energy security as well as the integrity of the ecosystems, the relevance of the entire spectrum of competing water needs and impacts on water resources is recognised, stressing the explicit role, interests, and leadership of other sectoral stakeholders beyond the water management and environment protection.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See&nbsp;<a
