| Summary: | In Uganda small private companies have
been operating water supply systems since 2001. A pilot
output-based aid (OBA) project is expanding this approach.
The project is leveraging private sector finance and
expertise to provide access to piped water for an estimated
45,000 people in small towns and rural growth centers while
increasing efficiency and accountability in the use of
funds. About 8,100 people have benefited so far, and the
Government is exploring the use of OBA approaches as part of
its national framework for water supply. |
