Support for the facility for developing the water supply and sanitation in northern and eastern Uganda

Description

Applying an open and demand-oriented programme approach, the programme involved the financing of measures to refurbish and expand water supply systems (treatment, storage and distribution) and sanitation systems (e.g. public sanitation facilities and demo toilets) in selected communities, including the associated consulting services. The implementation was based on donor basket funding and included financing from the EU/Austrian Development Agency (ADA). Under close cooperation with German TC and the ADA, the aim was to provide the implementing agency with personnel support in order to contribute to increased performance, the sustainable use of the promoted infrastructure capacity and the transparent use of funds. The implementing agency was the Ministry for Water and Environment, which implemented the investment using the allocated regional water development facilities (WSDF) for northern and eastern Uganda.
