Phase one, W e l l Rehabilitation and ~sintenance, outlines
the steps required to upgrade the numerous existing,
non-operating wells throughout Somalia by involvement of the
private sector* The action components and technical assistance
requirements are carefully detailed.
Phase two, Water Security Role for Somali Private Sector,
discusses the role the private sector would take in water
development during emergency situations, The action components
of this phase employ "Option FM, as discussed in the Policy
optidns Paper of April, 1985.
Phase three, Reoriented WDA Role, discusses the major
reorientation of WDA's role as a parastataf rural water well
drilling and regulating agency, It recommends that WDA
concentrate on the following five functions:
(1) Contracting with the Somali private sector for well
operation and maintenance, drilling and construction,
an? provisio~ of related inputs,
(2) Research and planning for rural water resource
development in Somalia,
(3)
Public utility regulation of water prices and service,
(4) Exploratory and emergency drilling, and
(5) operation of selected wells and water systems.
Section XI1 of the report provides the documentation that
supports the need for greater private sector participation. The
current and future water needs of Somalia are examined, and the
capabilities of, and constraints upon, the private sector are
described,
Perhaps one of the major products of the study of private
sector particigetion in Somalia's water resource development
industry was the formulation of a water industry systems model
(WISyMS). This model was designed to provide an integrated
analysis of the reiztionship between water consumers, water
suppiy structures, and inputs to the uater industry. Although
WISyMS was designed as a tool for comprehensive sectoral
analysis for a private sector project, the analyses performed by
WISyXS are applicable to any water development planning
strategy. The structure an? applications of this model are
described in an appendix, wich ten annexes, to the main body of
the report on private sector participation.
The material in this final report on private sector
participation is too voluminous for inclusion in this report;
