Book Description
This paper presents the findings of a Poverty and Social Impact Analysis (PSIA) of Yemen's water sector reform program. PSIA is the analysis of the distributional impacts of policy reforms on the well-being or welfare of different stakeholder groups, with a particular focus on the poor and vulnerable. PSIA also examines vested interests to assess issues of sustainability and risk in policy reform. Among other analyses, the study builds on the Yemen Country Water Resource Assistance Strategy (CWRAS, World Bank 2005a) and the Country Social Analysis (CSA, World Bank 2006a). The CWRAS had identified the political economy as main constraint to water sector reform. The CSA assessed livelihoods and power relations in Yemeni society, and called specifically for a poverty and social impact analysis in the water sector. The PSIA recommendations, which address the above key messages, will be implemented through the NWSSIP Update and operations.

Book Description
This report reviews the economically vital and under-funded water sector in Yemen in alignment with the national water strategy and in harmonization with Yemen's development partners to provide support to water strategy implementation. The results indicate that at the level of the water sector, there is willingness and desire to move to a sector wide approach. Yemen National Water Sector Strategy and Investment Program was an integrated and shared strategy and could serve as a platform for common and integrated approaches to sector investment. Therefore, the Government of Yemen and donors agreed to explore the possibilitiessector wide approach investment strategy and the Bank was asked to help assess the potential relevance and scope. Many of the broad framework conditions are there, although preparation work is needed and there are some impediments to alignment that will need to be tackled. Amongst the subsectors, rural water should be a priority because it is poised to move ahead with a restructuring that will repair its current fragmented state. The report concludes that the potential benefits of moving into a sector wide approach framework ensures stronger country ownership, strengthen national capacity systems and institutions, and more effective implementation with no duplication and no wasted resources.

Book Description
Decentralization is widely discussed in the literature. Katharina Mewes gives an introduction to the theoretical and practical dimensions of decentralization in an accessible and systematic way. On the example of the reform process for the Yemeni Urban Water Supply and Sanitation (UWSS) sector, she links the theoretical, conceptual, and methodological aspects of decentralization to empiric problems. This book is valuable reading for researchers and students of political science, environmental and water studies, development researchers and regional experts.

Book Description
The need for an integrated management of water resources has derived from the emerging understanding that the water crisis cannot solely be regarded as a hydrological crisis. Instead, it is frequently defined as a crisis of governance, as institutional and management scarcity are hindering a sustainable, equitable and efficient use of water resources. Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) is internationally accepted as a toolbox to achieve these objectives. However, implementation of the IWRM-approach is still lacking, especially in developing countries and transitional economies. This study poses the central question of what kind of governance is necessary to achieve an integrated management of water resources. Evaluating the concept from a regional perspective, three case studies have been conducted in Yemen, Jordan and Syria to identify the main governance challenges during the IWRM-process and develop strategies on how to meet them, aiming to improve the practical applicability of the theoretical framework of IWRM in the Middle East.

Book Description
Poverty and Social Impact Analysis (PSIA) is an approach used increasingly by governments, civil society organizations, the World Bank, and other development partners to examine the distributional impacts of policy reforms on the well-being of different stakeholders groups, particularly the poor and vulnerable. PSIA has an important role in the elaboration and implementation of poverty reduction strategies in developing countries because it promotes evidence-based policy choices and fosters debate on policy reform options. 'Poverty and Social Impact Analysis of Reforms' presents a collection of case studies that illustrate the spectrum of sectors and policy reforms to which PSIA can be applied; it also elaborates on the broad range of analytical tools and techniques that can be used for PSIA. The case studies provide examples of the impact that PSIA can have on the design of policy reforms and draw operational lessons for PSIA implementation. The case studies deal largely with policy reforms in a single sector, such as agriculture (crop marketing boards in Malawi and Tanzania and cotton privatization in Tajikistan); energy (mining sector in Romania and oil subsidies in Ghana); utilities (power sector reform in Ghana, Rwanda, and transition economies, and water sector reform in Albania); social sectors (education reform in Mozambique and social welfare reform in Sri Lanka); taxation reform (Nicaragua); as well as macroeconomic modeling (Burkina Faso).

Book Description
This volume explores the role of water in the Middle East's current economic, political and environmental transformations, which are set to continue in the near future. In addition to examining water conflict from within the domestic contexts of Iraq, Yemen and Syria-- all experiencing high levels of instability today--the contributors shed further light on how conflict over water resources has influenced political relations in the region. They interrogate how competition over water resources may precipitate or affect war in the Middle East, and assess whether or how resource vulnerability impacts fragile states and societies in the region and beyond. Water and Conflict in the Middle East is an essential contribution to our understanding of turbulence in this globally significant region.
