In response to the pressing needs for improved water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in Uganda, WaterAid has launched its ambitious Country Programme Strategy for 2023-2028. This strategy is a comprehensive approach to address the complex challenges in the WASH sector, with a keen focus on public health improvement and climate resilience.
