Somali post-conflict development faces many challenges that affect the sustainability of the water sector. This paper reviews and analyses the post-conflict development activities in the water sector through local communications and reviewing published materials and databases from international players in Somalia, funding agencies and financial tracking service. The paper has shown that there has been great attention and support given to the country during its post-conflict development. However, most of these initiatives and projects have focused on emerging issues such as tackling food security and water, sanitation and hygiene services. The paper also shows that the continuous funding of emerging issues in Somalia has reduced its long-term sustainability of the water sector and limited its national and long-term benefits but has increased corruption due to increase the gap between actors and local people. Therefore, new transparent cooperative initiatives are needed based on transparent involvement and coordination among donors, local authorities and implementers to improve and develop the water sector and the livelihood in Somalia through a solid water governance system.
索马里冲突后发展面临诸多挑战，这些挑战影响着水部门的可持续性。本文通过当地交流以及查阅索马里国际行为体、资助机构和金融追踪服务机构发布的材料和数据库，对水部门的冲突后发展活动进行了回顾和分析。该论文表明，该国在冲突后发展期间受到了极大关注和支持。然而，这些举措和项目大多集中在诸如解决粮食安全以及水、环境卫生和个人卫生服务等新出现的问题上。该论文还表明，对索马里新出现问题的持续资助降低了水部门的长期可持续性，限制了其国家和长期效益，但由于加剧了行为体与当地民众之间的差距，导致了腐败现象的增加。因此，需要基于捐助方、地方当局和实施者之间透明的参与和协调，开展新的透明合作举措，通过坚实的水治理系统来改善和发展索马里的水部门及民生。
