The report is made by two sections: The report with syntheses of all activities carried out and related graphic enclosed The annexes with: „X The Awdal Hydrogeology section „X The West Borama Basin „X The Zeila WSS „X The VES curves The first three annexes are constituted by a report and related graphics enclosed. In the fourth there are only graphics and a legend to insert before each group of graphs. A detailed list of all files to print (in printing order) is reported in the next page. The print instructions for each CAD files (*.dwg) are inserted in the same file, hence opening the files with AutoCad you can read the instructions at the graph side. The graphs (as well as the maps) have been already positioned to fit the print phase. If you move it part of the graph may fall out of the paper. So, please, make the appropriate setting (printing scale, paper format and paper position) then ascertain, before printing, that the graph centres the output paper. If you get any problem contact me. The files are divided in 5 sub-directories plus one (DATA) with all the VES data collected during the mission. For each group of VES in the DATA sub- directory there is an excel file with the field data. In the report and annexes subdirectories there are also some WMF (windows metafiles) with the figures directly enclosed in the reports. It is only for archive, not for printing. Sorry for editing in such a complicate pattern, but the material was too much to be edited in a simpler way.

The objective of the team was to undertake a case study related to over exploitation of National Acacia woolands and negative implication on the environment and Social-economic of the pastoral population.

The objective of the Banana Sector Study for Somalia is: andldquoTo assess the banana industry in the context of irrigated crop production. Based on the assessment a strategy to improve banana production to an internationally competitive level will be developed. In case this is not sustainable, a strategy for diversification of irrigated crop production will be developed.andrdquoThe study is carried out in two phases. Phase I was implemented between February 13th and March 03rd, 2003 by H. Hack, and H. McKilligan. The result of Phase I is presented in the Preliminary Assessment and Strategic Options Report, providing the baseline for the decision on the focus of the support programme under the Special Framework of Assistance for Traditional ACP Suppliers of Banana in the Lower Shabelle region. Phase II is scheduled for May/June 2003.

The general objective of the study is to provide the field team with information to facilitate and speed up their investigation for groundwater appraisal and exploration
