\begin{abstract}
We report a first generation of local, weight-dependent correlation density-functional approximations that incorporate information about both ground and excited states in the context of density-functional theory for ensembles (eDFT).
These density-functional approximations for ensembles are specially designed for the computation of single and double excitations within Gross--Oliveira--Kohn (GOK) DFT (\textit{i.e.}, eDFT for excited states), and can be seen as a natural extension of the ubiquitous local-density approximation for ensemble (eLDA).
The resulting density-functional approximations for ensembles, based on both finite and infinite uniform electron gas models, automatically incorporate the infamous derivative discontinuity contributions to the excitation energies through their explicit ensemble weight dependence.
Their accuracy is illustrated by computing single and double excitations in one-dimensional many-electron systems in the weak, intermediate and strong correlation regimes.

Although the present weight-dependent functional has been specifically designed for one-dimensional systems, the methodology proposed here is directly applicable to the construction of weight-dependent functionals for realistic three-dimensional systems, such as molecules and solids.
