Private Sector Assessment in Wakiso District;
Under the existing policy framework, Government of
Uganda encourages the involvement of the private sector in service delivery including
sanitation and hygiene promotion activities. However, the capacity of the
private sector to effectively participate in service delivery is lacking in a
number of areas. WaterAid intended to contribute to the strengthening of the
private sector and therefore commissioned the study to identify the local
private sector capacity gaps in Wakiso District for development of a capacity
building programme. Both qualitative and
quantitative methods were used to collect data from informants and respondents
at the district and sub-county levels (technical staff, politicians and the
private operators) and NGOs/CBOs. The report would be of
interest particularly to development partners, policy makers, district and
subcounty local governments.

Participatory Hygiene and Sanitation
Transformation (PHAST) for behaviour change in Primary Schools for Head teachers,
Senior Women
Teachers and Science Teachers in Kiboga District.
Workshop Report
Like
in all districts in Uganda, the state of school sanitation and hygiene in
Kiboga district was inadequate due to high enrolment of children achieved as a
result of the Universal Primary Education (UPE) policy.
The number of facilities for water and sanitation had not matched the
increase in number of users. The purpose
of the workshop was to orient the teachers to the promotion of effective sanitation and
good hygiene practices through the application of participatory approaches. Part of the workshop involved providing field
experience in the use of PHAST tools.
The report highlights some key observations that relate to school
sanitation
