This paper is concerned with the interface between land tenure rights and water rights. Such rights relate to arguably the most important natural resources of the modern state. Land in the form of territory, is a preliquisite for a state's existence while fresh water is a preliquisite for life.
The mission approach to this study was to establish whether or not there was a possibility of Somalia reviving its international banana export trade, without the former benefits of preferential trading terms with EU. If not a possibility, the ojective was to consider what could replace the banana industry to utilise the irrigation water and soil resources for th maximum benefit of the people living there.
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 Shabelle Valley and rdquo(CIDPM began in February 2002, and builds on the experiences and Lessons learnt from the past to promote an expanded approach to diversification. and rdquoStrengthening of Agricultural Activities in Shabelle Valley and rdquo(SMSV) was designed and initiated that focuses on the need to Rehabilitate existing irrigation structures in order to encourage more families to take up farming activities again. These two projects are being implemented through an integrated management structure in order to coordinate improvements in agricultural techniques with improved access to irrigation water - and they are the subject of this Mid Term Review.

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.

(Extract from the foreword)This report is the outcome of a multi-sectoral nationwide household survey, the first of its kind in Somalia for over two decades. The report provides statistics on demographic and housing characteristics, access to basic services, household income and employment, modes of communication and women's participation in family decision making and community-level activities, among other things. Individually, these statistics provide valuable information on different facets of socio-economic characteristics, and together they reflect to a certain extent, the well-being of an average Somali household.
