The core objective of the Country Water
Sector Assistance Strategy (CWSAS) is to define an
operational plan for World Bank involvement in
Lebanon's water sector 2012-2016 in support of
implementation of national water strategy. In March 2012,
the Lebanese Government officially adopted its National
Water Sector Strategy (NWSS), which was prepared by a
high-level team of Lebanese experts and debated amongst
stakeholders. Drawing on lessons learned from past Bank
involvement (both projects and sector work), and on the
Bank-Government Country Partnership Strategy (CPS), the
CWSAS looks at the water sector through the lens of economic
growth, poverty reduction and sustainability, identifying in
Government's strategy how investment might play a
transformative role, accompanying and helping to drive key
institutional reforms. Recognizing that restrictions of
political economy are real and must be taken into
consideration, the CWSAS highlights how implementation of
the strategy might be prioritized and sequenced, how
ownership might be strengthened through further stakeholder
involvement, especially at the local level, and how capacity
building within institutions could bring greater likelihood
of successful reform implementation. This combination of
targeted investment and capacity building accompanying
step-by-step implementation of a sequenced and consensual
set of priority reforms could have a transformational impact
on service delivery and on growth, poverty reduction and
sustainability. Supporting reform and investment within the
NWSS is a priority because of the high economic, social and
political costs of current performance. Improved water
service delivery will help reduce poverty and inequity, and
contribute to gross domestic product (GDP), exports and
employment growth. |
