Int Year of Sanitation To put the spotlight on this issue the UN General Assembly declared the year 2008 the International Year of Sanitation. The goal is to raise awareness and to accelerate progress towards the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) target to reduce by half the proportion of people without access to basic sanitation by 2015. This folder contains information on Sanitation activities that are being implemented in Uganda by development Partners, NGOs, CBOs, District, Working groups and the government Ministries
Transparency and Accountability The Government of Uganda's stated priority for reform in the water sector is strengthening the quality of service delivery. The government is concerned that the majority of Ugandans have no easy to reach access to clean and safe water, in part because many water supply schemes are constructed at great cost with public funds but are not properly managed and maintained. The Ugandan government has persued an active and explicit anti corruption strategy within the provision of water and sanitation services.The sector Performance report for 2006 indicates an alarming trend in unit cost increase in service delivery, an increase that may be resulting from the lack of accountability and transparency.
Governance Survey This component will be implemented in selected areas of Wobulenzi and Bukalasa where we have the two service providers. The governance survey together with the communications assessment will be conducted as a tool both for benchmarking/advocacy and to provide service providers and policy makers with feedback from citizens on their satisfaction with access to services. It will include the communications baseline survey of attitudes, perceptions and practices . The survey will also identify the main areas that need to be addressed during the training (e.g. governance in the water sector, service delivery decision-making processes, quality enhancement), and through stakeholder mapping will identify the specific target groups with whom the program will be carried out.
