Sanitation and Water Knowledge management and Learning Alliance Uganda (SAWA-U)
Sanitation and Water Knowledge management and Learning Alliance Uganda (SAWA-U) is the former WATSAN Resource Centre in Uganda. SAWA-Uganda emerged from the Resource Centre Development (RCD) process in Uganda that dates back to the year 2002 when IRC together with SNV kick started this process. SAWA-U acts as a collective memory bank and knowledge base that collects, repackages, document and share information directly with individuals or through networks responding to local needs and new opportunities and provides a platforms for dialogue and learning in the Water Sanitation and Hygiene Sector in Uganda.
