Up to 2.4 million people in rural areas and small towns across Uganda should have improved access to water supply and sanitation by 2016. This follows the African Development Bank (AfDB) signing on 11 January of U.S.$ 67 million package to finance the implementation of Uganda's Water and Sanitation Programme. The project aligns with Uganda's national goal to increase access to water supply and sanitation services, to achieve 100 percent coverage by 2035.
