| description |
Water, as a resource, is integral to
human activities of all kinds. The water sector, as a
society's means of ensuring individuals have sufficient
water is fundamental to recovery and development. While
designing and implementing water supply operations in any
societal context is a complicated endeavor, doing so in
contexts affected by conflict, fragility and violence is
inherently associated with compounded challenges. The
objective of this study is to summarize operational lessons
from task teams to inform effective water supply and access
operations in conflict-affected and fragile situations. This
paper defines common operational challenges and describes
actions that task teams have taken in Bank projects in order
to address those challenges. Further, the paper explores
ways to ensure that water supply projects in fragile and
conflict-affected situations (FCS) contexts, in addition to
achieving technical objectives, can also address perpetual
causes of conflict and fragility. The risks of escalating
violence and decreasing stability are exacerbated in
situations where access to water resources and services is
poor, constrained, inequitable, and unsustainable. This
knowledge product summarizes lessons from World Bank task
teams that have prepared and implemented water supply
projects in locations affected by conflict, fragility and
violence. The findings intend to support operational
problem-solving during water operations that are conducted
in these situations. The study engaged task team members and
surveyed project documentation, consolidating data on
contextual and operational challenges and responsive methods
that staff recommend. The findings of this study show that
clear priorities in process and organizational capacity,
with a focus on access, are needed to ensure that water
supply operations in FCS contexts are conflict-sensitive. |
