1. INTRODUCTION
The Ethiopian government has focused and embarked on water-centred development strategy as
an urgent response to the need to avert the critical drought and food insecurity problems in the
lowland areas of the country and to hasten the overall socio-economic development. In view of

problems associated to it. The majority of the population of the region depends on these primary

situation and the need for structural transformation. It is also understood that with the growth
potential, geographical location and the size of its population as well as lessons drawn from the past
years, the role of Somali Regional State is very vital to attain this objective. The first and foremost
activity is to identify available resources in the region. The region have been hit by recurrent
drought, marginalized and unaddressed. But they have immense development potential.
