Achievements and Lessons Learned from Uganda Self-Supply Pilot Project (2006 - 2008)
This document provides the achievements and lessons learned from the Uganda self-supply pilot Project (2006-2008). The pilot project followed a research study undertaken in 2005 that indicated that self-supply initiatives existed in the Uganda rural water sector. Following the study a pilot project was launched in September 2006 and involved engagement of two local NGOs with support from Government. The pilot brought about a cost effective up- grading of 41 water sources serving approximately 600 households. More importantly it enhanced understanding of self-supply in Uganda, and a number of emerging lessons emerged. These provide a better focused definition of self-supply, and of the appropriate ways and means for future scaling-up.
