Upon their finalisation it is essential that the Palestinian Water and Sanitation Sector has a road map of the actions and tasks which are required to be carried out, or co-ordinated, by the PWA so that they have a completed and agreed Policy and Strategy, a high level National Strategic Plan and up-to-date Master, Investment and Implementation plans which reflect the requirements of the national policy, strategy and national strategic plan related to water and wastewater infrastructure. As a single source document it enables a co-ordinated approach to fulfilling the infrastructure planning and short term investment requirements of the water and wastewater sector. This document is that Road Map it is a live document and should be updated every year. The Road Map should made available to all relevant stakeholders, especially donors and should be the source document to give them a clear list of infrastructure planning and investment requirements so that their assistance can be focused on the prioritised requirements of the Palestinian water and wastewater sector. The road map is divided into 6 sections. These sections include a baseline, where we are now and a list of actions required to prepare new, or collate and/or update existing plans to reflect the requirements of Policy and Strategy and in the format and using the methodology required by the PWA, described in the Planning Format and Methodology document. The road map includes the following sections sub-divided by actions relating to water resources & supply and wastewater transmission, treatment and re-use where relevant.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Roger Owen Sreemati Mitter A History of Money in Palestine: From the 1900s to the Present Abstract How does the condition of statelessness, which is usually thought of as a political problem, affect the economic and monetary lives of ordinary people? This dissertation addresses this question by examining the economic behavior of a stateless people, the Palestinians, over a hundred year period, from the last decades of Ottoman rule in the early 1900s to the present. Through this historical narrative, it investigates what happened to the financial and economic assets of ordinary Palestinians when they were either rendered stateless overnight (as happened in 1948) or when they suffered a gradual loss of sovereignty and control over their economic lives (as happened between the early 1900s to the 1930s, or again between 1967 and the present).
