The objective of this assignment is a scoping and exploratory study to help identify the current service delivery practices and capacity within the water sector in both Somaliland and Puntland as well as the current response to various policy documents and frameworks adopted by the Ministry of Public Works (MoPW) and Puntland State Authority for Water, Energy and Natural Resources (PSAWEN). Based on this, the study will advise whether any functions within the remit of the Ministry can be decentralized to the districts and recommend pilots for the same.More specifically, using the Sector Guidelines developed by the JPLG as the main tool for analysis and closely coordinated with the Integrated Capacity Development for Somali relevant UNICEFWASH, the assignment will aim at:a. Documenting, describing and analyzing a functional assignment exercise (unbundling the sector), how water services are currently being provided by the PSAWEN including laws/acts, systems, structures, procedures, regulations, staffing, staff profiles, staff development initiatives, and fund flows (including national budget and external resources) at all levels central, regional and district level as well as service providers.b. Based on the above assessment, describe and document how the PSAWEN currently respond to existing Laws number 7 and 23 in the provision of water services.c. Following the development of the Water Policy in Puntland in 2009, document and define the proposed roles and organization of the MoPW and PSAWEN following devolution of services to the regions and districts including assessment and analysis of existing and potential capacity.d. Make recommendations on the following:• PSAWEN existing policy/guidelines/strategies.

Help in institutional reforms and performance improvements of urban water utilities• Functions to be transferred to various levels: regions, districts and zones.

Help to formulate water conservation master plan in Somaliland and Puntland• Identify laws and regulations within the ministries that need to be amended changed or drafted in order to harmonize the legal framework.• Costing of all the key requirements including staffing needs for delivery of assigned functions and responsibilities following the decentralization.• Proposed roles of the PSAWEN, staffing, and budgets in accordance to the new function and responsibilities.• Measures to fill gaps in capacity for PSAWEN to effectively provide services at all levels.• Suggest institutional arrangements to overcome bottlenecks and inefficiencies in delivering water services taking into account the responsibilities of different institutions (PSAWEN, Municipalities)• In line with UNICEF WASH work plans (including ICDSEA); suggest phased recommendations of short term (2 years) and longer terms (5‐10 years) activities, including small scale pilots to address the assignment of functions to regions and districts in the water sector.

Study communities reliant on transboundary water bodies for their livelihoods and wellbeing are particularly susceptible to the impacts of climate change and other environmental threats which are often exacerbated by a changing climate
