Yemen completed environmental plan
Posted: 04 May 2005
Yemen has completed the preparation of a comprehensive, 10-year integrated water and environmental sector strategy, action plan and investment programme.
The National Water Sector Strategic Investment Plan (NWSSIP), supported by WSP-Africa and other partner organizations, is the first sectoral strategy in Yemen to clearly define targets and achievement indicators for each sub-sector, and provide institutional arrangements that allow for measuring progress towards program goals.
The NWSSIP incorporates recommendations from a national consultative workshop held in February, that put forward a monitoring and evaluation framework encompassing six sub-sectoral categories: water resource management, urban and rural water supply and sanitation, irrigation and watershed management, environmental sustainability, sector management and coordination.
The NWSSIP will be presented to the Yemen Ministerial Cabinet for endorsement in April 2005 before consideration by the Parliament. It is expected that the NWSSIP will become operational during late 2005.
