Water policy in Puntland State, Somalia
01.01.2009
Puntland - the very horn of Africa - has almost no surface water and presents unique challenges when developing water policy. Following a risk assessment and a participatory approach, the Government of Puntland has successfully developed, approved and launched a new policy. The purpose of this paper is to describe how a participatory process and risk assessment led to the successful recognition and implementation of a water policy under testing circumstances.
