| dc.description.abstract | The water policy that has been issued by the government of Ethiopia in 1999 is both comprehensive and sound. Following the water policy, the water sector strategy has been developed and issued in 2001 to put the water policy into action. Based on water strategy, the water sector development program has been drawn up for a period of 2002-2016. It is know about eleven years since the water policy has been issued. The extent of its impact on water resources development and management has not been clear so far due to absence of policy implementation plans with appropriate monitoring system and feedback mechanisms. There is no means assessing the merits and drawbacks of the policy. This paper tries to assess Ethiopian Water Resources Management Policy and its implementation. Data were obtained via a questioner and interview from 38 participants from Ministry of Water Resource, three agencies, two public enterprises, four regional bureaus, three water related private companies and one NGO. An interview was also conducted with six key experts from water sector particularly with policy implementations issues. Both primary and secondary data were used. The writer uses Questioner and interview to collect the necessary data. The data gathered has been analyzed using the various statistical methods like tables, graphs, percentages. Based on the data obtained from the respondents the study-identified lack of institutional arrangement, absence of policy implementation plan, absence of public awareness and community participation are critical for the implementation of the policy. Therefore based on the major problems recommendations are suggested | en_US |
