Abstrakt: Misallocation and scarcity of energy, food, and water resources is an age-old challenge. This has been burdensome for African countries, particularly in an attempt to achieve long-term future sustainable development. This study explores the dynamic relationship between energy, food, and water and economic conditions in Angola, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa. Since the energy-foodwater nexus underpin the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 2, 6, and 7), the study uses SDG indicators to proxy energy, food, and water. To do so, the study employs a Generalized Methods of Moments (GMM) panel data technique for the period from 2000 to 2015. The findings indicate synergies between the three demonstrations of sustainability for the five countries that have important policy implications for the current and future developmental conditions of the continent.
