| Summary: | The specific objectives of this project
(Credit of US$42.3 million over the period 1995-2003) were
to: (a) improve health conditions through better water
supply, excreta disposal, waste management and public
hygiene; (b) alleviate poverty and improve the lot of women;
and (c) reduce environmental degradation through better
waste management. The project was to provide improved and
sustainable water supply and sanitation services in two
groups of towns: (a) the 11 small towns ( Busia, Kalisizo,
Kyotera, Lugazi, Luwero, Lyantonde, Malaba, Ntungamo, Rakai,
Rukunguri and Wobulenzi ), where most of the town
populations drew water from boreholes with hand pumps,
springs and traditional sources such as rivers and lakes -
this was to be implemented by the Directorate of Water
Development ( DWD ); and (b) the rehabilitation of the water
sewerage services in Jinja, to be expanded to include
Njeru.- to be implemented by the National Water and Sewerage
Corporation ( NWSC ). |
