Abstract
This National Water Resource Strategy (NWRS) Roadmap is a management tool designed to outline the critical steps required to progressively achieve the Vision and Goal set out for managing Somalia’s water resources for the next 5-year cycle, aligned to the NWRS. The Roadmap provides clarity on key priorities and supporting actions, roles and responsibilities as well as milestones and targets that have been developed. The Roadmap outlines the establishment of appropriate cooperative platforms to support and guide the programming of actions as well as to oversee and evaluate progress. It outlines 13 project charters that describe Flagship Projects that will facilitate interventions to support the implementation of the NWRS in a phased and progressive manner.
Implementation shall be done in three phases with corresponding core actions and implementation tables: In the first phase, there is a significant focus in the NWRS on strengthening the water sector governance frameworks and developing a cooperative government approach of the Federal Government of Somalia and Federal Member States. Large infrastructure will be planned. Lastly, this phase will have a strong focus on the development of capacity with government institutions, this will be linked to the development of the water sector governance framework so that appropriate capacity is in place to support the developing institutional mandates. The second phase is about capacity building and planning, with a central role for interventions to strengthen the data and information management. In the third phase the initiatives of the first two phases will be further implemented. Projects will be integrated in approach and will further cement the cooperative government partnerships that have been fostered. The Roadmap describes the 13 flagship projects and corresponding objectives. It also sets out the principles that underpin the Flagship Projects. The last part of the Roadmap is about fast-tracking implementation.
