Water management in developing countries; Policies and priorities for EU development cooperation
The EC, being the world's fifth largest donor, and co-operating with its member states, has an important comparative advantage to provide vital and sustaining contributions in the water sector. This work, as a step in the process towards the EC Communication of its Water and Development policy, shows the areas where the EC is seeking political commitment for EC and partner governments to be able to adopt a strategy and policy that will guide its further work.

Irrigation Information Systems for Somalia
The aim of the work is to set up a comprehensive countrywide Information System for Irrigation. The system combines the existing and available information on Somalia, focusing its attention on the two river plains that are the most significant agricultural areas. In spite of the lack of some detailed data, the present Information Irrigation System can be consider a first effort to build up a useful tool to control, plan, manage and monitor the land. In this prospect, the main tasks of the work were:ul licollect all the existing/available information of Somalia/li licritically evaluate the usefulness of this information in the context of the future System/li; licreate a dynamic system that can be updated./li

Anthropological report for the water rehabilitation and development programme in the context of food and health security; Dhagax Buur zone Ethiopian Somali National Regional State (ESNS), Ethiopia
The purpose of the anthropological assignment was ul; li To review the existing Clan maps and the relevant literature on the Somali communities inhabiting the project area from available sources in Nairobi and Addis-Ababa and develop contacts and information networking /li li To do joint field work with WATSAN and health teams to current proposed Dhagax Buur project locations, jointly review programme objectives, field methodology and acculturated principles of participatory development. During this time to define social constraints to sustainable development and list potential areas conflict. Initiate field based training for two Somali community workers who, it is hoped, will be have been recruited in advance/li; li Carry out specialist survey within the wider zone, map the area travelled and build up sketched clan boundaries concentrating on locations currently proposed, valuation judgement regarding those locations not yet assessed/visited based on global view of clan boundaries and recommend additional new locations or removal of old. The long term aim is to create Clans balance and elevate potential jealousy based on clan difference. Avoid conflict over scarce resources. Finalise output and deliverables, report back to field based programme teams, coordination in Addis Ababa and finally WATSAN dept in Brussels /li; /ul.

GIS for Health Organizations
Health care management is a rapidly developing field, where even slight shifts in policy affect the health care we receive. In this book, youandrsquoll see how physicians, public health officials, insurance providers, hospitals, epidemiologists, researchers, and HMO executives use GIS to focus resources to meet the needs of those in their care. GIS for Health Organizations gives detailed and compelling answers to the difficult questions health care providers ask every day: Where is the disease coming from? How will it spread? Where is the nearest hospital? What is the fastest route for the ambulance? Where should we allocate our funding? GIS for Health Organizations presents 12 case studies in which GIS is used to: br Track the spread of infectious and environmentally caused diseasesbr Site new hospitals and clinics based on demand and demographic factorsbr Monitor toxic spills to protect the health of nearby residentsbr Map the demand for future nursing home facilitiesbr Market pharmaceuticalsbr

Threadle pumps for irrigation in Africa
The international Programme for Technology and Research in Irrigation and Drainage (IPTRID) commissioned this report on the status and prospects for treadle pumps in Africa, particularly concerning how smallholders can take up such devices to support irrigation. In view of the fact that treadle pumps are now being used in many African countries, this document is a state-of-the-art report. It identifies what needs to be done by agencies, donors, NGOs and manufacturers to make such pumps acceptable and accessible for smallholders. It is aimed at irrigation professionals, donors, decision makers and NGOs promoting small-scale irrigation in Africa. Information has been provided from many sources. Particular reference is made to the national experts who were commissioned by IPTRlD to collect up-to-date information from a number of African countries. The report begins with a review of the different treadle pumps currently in use in Africa and the information available on their technical performance, with a view to trying to answer the question - Which is the best treadle pump? Or perhaps more appropriately - Which is the best for a given situation? This is followed by reports prepared by national experts on the experience of using treadle pumps in different countries across Africa. These principally address the important issues of economic and social impact of this technology change, its acceptability and sustainability. This experience should help those who are just beginning to think about treadle pumps, wondering if they are right for them and, if so, how best to introduce them into their situation.
