Uganda Water and Sanitation Sector Performance Report 2008
This, the Sixth Water and Sanitation Sector Performance Report (SPR) 2008 provides the latest information and shows trends on progress with respect to the provision of water and sanitation services.
In 2007/8 the sector made significant progress in the improvement of sanitation facilities. In addition, the importance of handwashing with soap is increasingly being given the recognition that it deserves. However, improvements to rural people’s access to improved water supplies are barely keeping up with population growth. The SPR 2008 clearly highlights the degradation of our water resources as a result of inadequate compliance to water resources regulations.
At current financing levels, extremely difficult choices have to be made within the sector regarding what to focus upon to meet national targets and objectives. Given the significant decline in the sector budget, both in absolute figures and as a proportion of the national budget over the last 5 years, the extent to which the sector is still a priority in Uganda is questionable. In the short term, we need to explore innovative financing arrangements and clearly articulate our contribution to the new Government overarching framework of prosperity for all (wealth creation).
