Briefing Paper on the Status and Prospects for Borama Water Supply Somaliland
C.PRINT, B.PETRUCCI, A.MAHMOUD, A.CIGE, O.AHMED 35th WEDC International Conference, Loughborough, UK, 2011 THE FUTURE OF WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE: INNOVATION, ADAPTION AND ENGAGEMENT IN A CHANGING WORLD Briefing paper on the status and prospects for Borama water supply Somaliland C. Print (UK), B. Petrucci, A. Mahmoud, A. Cige & O. Ahmed REVIEWED PAPER 1258 An important centre of learning for Somaliland, over the last century Borama has grown to around 10,000 settled households today. Faced with an uncertain operating environment, keeping pace with demand for improved water services has presented considerable challenges to Borama community and international partners over recent years. Drawing evidence from secondary sources and a rapid purposive research exercise, the development trend to the current status of Borama’s water supply is described, in terms of water resources, water sources, supply engineering and management of service delivery. Insight into recent efforts to sustainably manage ground-water resources are presented, as are encouraging results in service development and delivery by SHABA water utility, operating through a pilot PPP contract. Based on results and an assessment of constraints and opportunities identified by the authors, discussion and recommendations are offered. Context In Awdal region of Western Somaliland located 9o56’N 43o11’E rests Borama town, close to the Ethiopian border and within the upper slopes of the Dur-Dur watershed. Close to the confluence with Amoud tugga, Damok spring was traditionally a home water source of the Gadabursi clan, and Borama community. Recognised also as a traditionally important centre of learning, over the last century Borama has grown to become a market town of around 10,000 settled households, in a semi-arid, predominantly agro-pastoral area.

Somaliland in Figures data 2019, Hargeisa – Somaliland. All correspondence should be directed to: Somaliland Central Statistics Department Minister of Planning and National Development Hargeisa, Somaliland Email: [email protected] Website: Somalilandcsd.org Map of Somaliland I Preface Complete, accurate and reliable statistics are an absolute requirement for efficient public action. Statistics inform decision makers and the broader community with critical information on the needs of the population and specific challenges they face. Quality data can reveal where resources are most needed, and provide the means to track progress and assess the impact of different plans and policies. Somaliland, as it is the case in many other developing countries, still lacks the capacity to regularly produce the full range and quality of statistics which are typically requires to effectively design, implement and monitor the relevant policies and plans needed for the country’s development. The need to fill that capacity gap becomes more pressing as Somaliland progresses. Indeed, raising complexity of the productive base and integration of the country in the global economy are two processes which can offer tremendous dividends to the population of Somaliland, but require sufficient, accurate and timely information to fully take effect. To face this challenge, the Government of Somaliland has undertaken various efforts to improve the overall capacity and functionality of its National Statistics System (NSS) coordinated by the Central Statistics Department (CSD) of the Ministry of Planning and National Development (MoPND), and in particular to reinforce the role of public institutions in the production of quality data.
