Yemeni-German Technical Cooperation - Water Sector Program

HomeProgramPartnerNewsDocumentsLinksContact

Welcome!

For more than 20 years Yemen has been supported in the water sector by the Federal Republic of Germany. So far, about one third of the urban population of Yemen has gained access to a safe water supply through Yemeni-German collaboration in this sector.

In 2006 the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) commissioned GTZ with the implementation of the Water Sector Program “Institutional Development of the Water Sector”. Through its process and capacity development and its long-term orientation, GTZ aims to strengthen the capabilities of Yemeni water sector organisations to cope with the challenges ahead and to manage change. GTZ is acting as a facilitator, knowledge broker and advisor in the complex process of achieving good governance in the water sector. Furthermore, the Water Sector Program enables Yemeni water sector organisations to improve their capacities to effectively use available budgets and financial aid tied to infrastructure investment.

The Water Sector Program emerged from a number of ongoing projects and now consists of five components. It represents a multi-level approach aligned with the National Water Sector Strategy and Investment Plan (NWSSIP).

The Water Sector Program is being implemented in close collaboration with other German development organisations such as KfW, DED, CIM, BGR and InWEnt. Within the framework of a sector-wide approach, the Water Sector Program also cooperates closely with other donors such as the World Bank and the Netherlands.
