Strengthening budget mechanisms for sanitation in Uganda : executive summary
Thomson, Mike
The Government of Uganda has identified sanitation as a major potential contributor to the achievement of national Poverty Eradication Action Plan objectives and Millennium Development Goal targets. The September 2003 joint sector review of water and sanitation identified a need to review sanitation budgeting and financing mechanisms as part of an overall strengthening of the sanitation sub-sector. The terms of reference for this study identified three sanitation sub-sectors: household / institutional sanitation in urban and rural areas (non-piped); urban sanitation in larger urban areas and small towns (piped); and hygiene promotion in urban and rural areas. The study has used the definition developed and agreed at a sanitation stakeholder workshop in Jinja, Uganda in February 2004. This includes: i) safe disposal of human excreta; ii) good personal and domestic hygiene practices; iii) safe disposal of solid and liquid waste; iv) safe collection, storage and use of water, especially for drinking; and v) control of insect and rodent vectors such as flies, mosquitoes, rats etc.
