Abstract

Abstract

A large number of the water projects currently underway in the world have unfortunately come about as the direct result of wars and internal conflicts. Working in conflict ridden and post conflict environments poses its own set of challenges for the water manager. The author of this paper will highlight some of these issues that have arisen in his own country Afghanistan, as it struggles to recover from conflict. It is hoped that the subject of water provision in countries emerging from conflict becomes a focal point for global water discourse.

Keywords: Afghanistan, Urban Water Sector, Institutional Reform
