| Résumé : |
This work is a bibliographic study conducted as part of the Humanitarian WASH training program. It explores and highlights the current situation in terms of preparedness of West African countries to emergency situations. It is focused on contingency planning process as preparedness tool for response.
The document gives an overview of the West African humanitarian context, the different actors in the WASH sector and how they manage themselves for preparedness and contingency planning. This work covers contingency planning at national level (WASH clusters’ levels, and agencies’ specific levels). It is therefore a qualitative data collection.
Bibliographic data have been gathered from the existing literature/documentation (agencies reports, reviews, minutes, plans, etc.). Semi-directed interviews have also been part of the data collection methods. The data mostly concern Burkina Faso, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Mali, Liberia, Guinea-Bissau and Guinea Conakry.
West African sub-region’s humanitarian context is characterized by a fragile socio-politic climate, Ebola epidemic, and jihadist threats. The situation varies from one country to another but there are more and more transboundary issues.
Contingency planning processes are undertaken at national levels since 2008s in almost all the countries. Countries possess Multi-risk contingency plans. Almost all the WASH clusters also have set some contingency plans. In most countries those clusters’ plans are included in the national mutli-risk contingency plans. Contingency plans have shown their benefits in terms of preparedness to disasters in several situations in the West African sub-region. However, difficulties are faced both within planning processes and implementation. Those difficulties are mostly financial constraints, delay in procedures, poor communication. The cooperation between governmental agencies needs to be improved in terms of joint contingency planning processes for transboundary issues. |
