The Palestinian Water Authority was established in 1995 to regulate the water sector, manage services and protect water resources. In 2009, the Cabinet of Ministers of the Palestinian National Authority approved a « Reform Action Plan » to define and implement a comprehensive programme of institutional reform in the Palestinian water sector. PWA was appointed to lead the reform process. In 2012, PWA therefore developed the National Drinking Water and Wastewater Management Strategy for Palestine. Although much progress has been made since the publication of this strategy, there have been many challenges and changes to the political, economic and institutional situation, which have also affected the water sector. These changes have made it necessary to update the water sector strategy, objectives and priorities to ensure appropriate water service planning and development. Funded by the World Bank, the aim of this assignment is to update the national strategy for the water sector in Palestine.
