This report presents the key findings and recommendations stemming from the trip by a team of consultants from the USAID–funded Hygiene Improvement Project (HIP) visit to Uganda in October 2007. The objective was to determine if sanitation marketing (SM) would be a viable approach in Uganda, and to make specific recommendations to HIP and the donor community that would move the sanitation marketing agenda forward.
The team based its assessment on an analysis of the following factors concerning Uganda’s rural household sanitation sector:

• Policy Environment
• Formative Research
• Local-level Conditions
• Funding
• Policy
• Programs
