conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:07 authored by Chris Print, B. Petrucci, A. Mahmoud, A. Cige, Osman Y. AhmedAn 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.
