Damage Assessment Study (DAS) – Stage III
Due to the political situation in Yemen, the Water Sector Programme shifted from institutional development to strengthening Local Corporations (LCs) to sustain and enhance water and sanitation services during and after the crisis. GIZ supported the Damage Assessment Study (DAS) in 2014-2015, providing an initial assessment of 12 water corporations, utilities, and branches, with recommendations for service maintenance and institutional operations.
The BMZ-funded DAS Stage III aimed to update LC infrastructure and institutional conditions while preparing emergency relief, investment, and capacity development measures for conflict and post-conflict implementation. The objectives were:
Develop a strategic approach to enhance LC resilience in water and sanitation services.
Design technical assistance packages for institutional and human resource capacity building.
Prepare short-term investment packages for repair and rehabilitation.
