About us
WaterAid has been operating in Uganda since 1983. Over the years WaterAid Uganda has evolved a holistic approach in its work, with greater emphasis on community participation and sanitation education. In its infancy WaterAid's implementation of water supply schemes in Uganda involved little community involvement, sanitation promotion or hygiene education. In 1995, with the realisation that community involvement and a more comprehensive programme of sanitation and hygiene education increases project effectiveness, WaterAid changed the focus of its activities towards supporting local community based organizations (CBOs) to implement integrated water, sanitation and hygiene projects. Involving local partners added emphasis to community participation, giving communities greater ownership of projects. This change of focus resulted in a shift in emphasis from water engineering towards training and facilitating. The programme came to support eleven partners in ten different districts scattered through the country. When the strategy was reviewed again in 1999, WaterAid Uganda furthered the scope of its work by introducing a clear programme of advocacy, aimed to raise the profile and importance of NGOs within the sector and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of policy and practice. WaterAid Uganda continues to expand its work, initiating projects in urban as well as rural areas such as research and teaching in the Masindi District in 2005.
