ABSTRACT
The World Bank’s new model in water resources management, as outlined above, was put into practice after 1995. The first experience in reforming the water sector took place in the Kingdom of Morocco, leading to the first conclusions and recommendations issued by the Natural Resources and Environment Division from the Maghreb and Iran Department of the World Bank. Our second example is Yemen. Although both countries are from the Middle East and the North Africa region, their water resources problems are not at all identical. Yet, interestingly the recommendations the World Bank proposed are very similar. Our third example, Bangladesh, demonstrates how the World Bank systematically applies its general model notwithstanding the particularities of each country.
