| Summary: | The goal of the assessment is to develop
a balanced analysis and create awareness of the factors
restricting Palestinian water sector development as well as
of the economic, social, and environmental impacts of these
restrictions. The assessment addresses factors such as
sector governance, and movement and access (M&A)
restrictions beyond the control of the Palestinian
Authority, as well as internal contributing factors, notably
governance and capacity weaknesses of Palestinian
institutions. This report, examines in turn: (1) the current
situation, progress and impacts since Oslo; (2) the
principal problems of the Palestinian water sector; and (3)
the underlying constraints and their relation to the overall
governance environment established under Oslo and to other
institutional aspects. A fourth and final section looks at
the agenda that faces the Palestinian authority in trying to
develop water resources and services as a means to improve
living standards and to increase economic growth. |
