Introduction Percentage of Operating Costs Funded by Revenue for Ugandan Water Authorities in 2008/9 In Uganda, a comprehensive overview of water supply and sanitation developments and challenges is available. Sector performance measurement is fully linked to the planning and budgeting process.
Context Background Sector Wide Approach Policy & legislation Planning Finance Leadership Coordination Monitoring & Reporting • Sector Reforms (from late 1990’s) • National Programme for Rural Water Supplies and Sanitation (since 2001) • Projects for Urban Water Supply and Sanitation (more recently a facility) • Decentralisedservicedelivery
Golden Indicators (part 3) The golden indicators provide a focus for further analysis on issues and challenges. They are a means to an end rather than an end in itself. In Uganda, considerable work has been undertaken between the statistics bureau and ministry to ensure that the same definitions of an improved water supply are used.
