Institutional Reforms in the Urban Water Supply Sector of Yemen

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This study examines institutional reforms like decentralization in the urban water supply and sanitation Sector in Yemen. Policies, actors and conflicts during the initiation and implementation process of the reforms are introduced. Later on, the motivation and type of decentralization reforms are analyzed. The study also elaborates on the effects on decentralization on sector performance and future reforms. The underlying conclusion is that institutional and political fragility might hinder a market-based governance of the Arab water utilities if not considered ahead of reform initiation. Mechanisms for institutional conflicts resolution and country-specific solutions are needed.
