| Summary: | This note contains a summary, for
practitioners, of the World Bank report Republic of Yemen
country Water Resources Assistance Strategy (CWRAS). The
preparation of a CWRAS is timely, given the rising pressure
placed on water resources by the rapidly growing population
and the emergence of lessons learned from a recent review of
World Bank water projects in Yemen. This section reviews the
current situation in Yemen, focusing on the following five
key challenges facing the water sector: (i) over-extraction
of groundwater; (ii) equitable and efficient valuation and
allocation of water; (iii) meeting the millennium
development goals (MDG) in potable water and sanitation;
(iv) the need to protect water sources and the quality of
water; and (v) building institutional capacity in the public sector. |
