  1. Mauritania MTEF Workshop Water and Sanitation Sector MTEF Experience in Uganda

  2. Starting Point-Sector Development Framework Key Instruments • National Water Policy (1999) • Urban WSS Strategy and Investment program (2000-2015) • Rural WSS Strategy and Investment program (2000-2015) • Water for Production and Water Resources Management Studies (on-going) Development Objectives • Community Demand Responsive Approach • Central Government Facilitation of Planning, Policy, Regulation and Quality Assurance • Decentralized Implementation through Local Governments • Private Sector delivery of Goods and Services PEAP/PRSP PILLAR 3 GOAL: “SOME FOR ALL AND NOT MORE FOR SOME” • “Sustainable safe water supply and sanitation facilities, based on management responsibility and ownership by the users, within easy reach of 65% of the rural population 80% of the urban population by the year 2005 with an 80%-90% effective use and functionality of facilities. Then eventually to100% of the urban population by 2010 and rural population by the year 2015”.

  3. MTEF PROCESS-Sub-SectorReview andIssues Sub-Sectors • Rural WSS • Urban (small Towns and Large Town) WSS • Water for Production • Water Resources management Review (3-Year Framework) • Review of Past Performance • Emerging Policy Issues and Future Spending Pressures • Services for the Urban Poor • Nile Basin Initiative • Decentralization • Services Regulation • Sanitation • Assessment of Resource Requirements and Cost Implications

  4. MTEF OUTPUTS-Budget Framework Paper I. Spending Projections • Rural WSS • Urban (small Towns and Large Town) WSS • Water for Production • Water Resources management II. Performance Targets III. Sector Outcome Budget Breakdown • Recurrent Budget • District WSS Development Grant • District O&M Conditional Grant • Central Government Programs • Small Towns Projects • Large Towns Projects • Water for Production • Institutional Development

  5. Timetable of Planning Process

  6. Due Diligence Process • All Districts sign Memorandum of Understanding and Utilities sign Performance Contracts • Quarterly releases against quarterly submissions on agreed workplans • Local Government annual audits • Ministry qualification of districts submissions to Ministry of finance • Unspent budget returns to treasury • Annual independent technical and financial audit (tracking studies) • Annual Joint GOU/Donors Sector reviews

  7. Results – FY 01 • GOU and its associated institutions met all policy benchmarks and service delivery targets with 90% utilization of budgeted resources (average of $30 million per year).- MTEF/PRSC • Over 3,500 water points were delivered against a target of 1,500 – resulting in improved coverage for an additional 700,000 rural people. This represent one of the largest rural water and sanitation programs in Africa with parallel and decentralized implementation in all 56 districts; • 15 small towns were gazetted as urban water and sewerage authorities and placed under a regime of three cluster private sector management contracts; • Over 6,300 new connections were recorded in the 12 large urban town with a good number going to poorer families due to new pro-poor connection policy and the implementation of incentive based area performance contract by NWSC.

  8. Suggestions for Improvement • Need for more attention on quality of service delivery - reflected in inadequate community preparation and demand management, weak district planning, procurement management and construction supervision. • Ensure better value for Money – The total flow of resources to the Water Sector has tripled over the last 4 years from shs. 44.9 bn. in 1997/98 to shs. 133.9 bn. in 2000/01 but coverage is growing at only 1% per year. • Need to better calibrate macro allocations with sector needs – there is an increasing appetite for more resources by sector institutions but ability to utilize the resources is not proven • Institutional attention should shift from implementation to better planning and quality assurance of service delivery.
