Uganda Water & Sanitation Network 🇺🇬

🚰 WASH Scorecards strengthening accountability in 5 districts 🚰Next phase focuses on citizen engagement, climate-resilient WASH, and increased public investment.

@UWASNET & #DanishPeoplesAid are scaling impact by empowering CSOs and communities to drive sustainable WASH systems. Impact so far: 💧UGX 2B+ leveraged for water infrastructure 👥 80+ CSOs trained 🏫 52 schools supported 🏥 12 health facilities improved

We can have strong policies, but if we don't have coordination everything stalls. So humbled to be joining the Welthungerhilfe (WHH) team at #UWEWK2026, alongside @uwasnet, @CANIntl Uganda, the @BugandaKingdom_, and other partners, to unpack what it really takes to make IWRM work on the ground. This conversation is timely because effective water resources management only happens when communities, institutions, and partners act together. 📅 Mar 25 | ⏰ 2PM 📍 MWE Luzira Join us and be part of shaping practical solutions: 🔗 zoom.us/meeting/regist…⁠�

Ending sexual corruption in WASH requires collective responsibility & national action. Through our partnership w @uwonet & @uwasnet last week’s High-Level Dialogue identified clear priorities: strong reporting pathways, accountability & empowerment of communities. #EndSextortion

On Day Two at Uganda Water and Environment Week, during the session on Learning from Practice: Translating Equitable Service Delivery Experience into Policy Action, the conversation focused on making water services more equitable and sustainable. Dr. Joyce Mpalanyi Magala emphasized that while tariffs cannot be uniform, they must be guided by clear principles that protect the most vulnerable. She also called for a revision of Uganda’s pro-poor strategy to reflect current realities and strengthen inclusive service delivery. The message was clear. Stronger coordination and collaboration are essential to support water utilities on the path to self-reliance and to extend piped water to underserved communities. #UWEWK2026 #WASHIsEveryonesBusiness #WaterForAll

Sanitation is one of the simplest and most powerful tools we have to prevent disease. During Sanitation Week, Dr. Herbert Nabaasa highlights why raising awareness and integrating sanitation into everyday practice must remain a national priority. From households to schools to national systems, the message is clear. Prevention starts with us. Watch the clip to hear his call to action and reflect on the role we all play in strengthening public health. #SanitationWeek #WASHIsEveryonesBusiness #PublicHealth #Prevention

This #WorldWaterDay 💧☀️, Viva con Agua Uganda is bringing solar-powered water systems to 2 schools, clean water, multiple tap points, and climate-friendly solutions. Water powered by the sun = the future 🌍 #WASH #ClimateAction #Uganda

🌟 Yesterday, @CIDIUganda WASH team, led by Dr. @FulgensioJjuuko, hosted an Info Sharing Session in #Teso–#Karamoja at #Moroto Resort Hotel. Stakeholders, partners & community reps, such as #Soroti #teenage‌mothers, pledged support to strengthen #WASH in the region. @Misereor

With partners like #WaterIntegrityNetwork, the @min_waterUg & @uwonet , the call is clear: #EndSextortion in WASH.

This is where corruption meets gender-based violence. Water should never come at the cost of dignity. We need: ✔️ Stronger laws & accountability ✔️ Safe, confidential reporting systems ✔️ Gender-responsive water services ✔️ Collective action across sectors

Some issues in the WASH sector are hidden, but deeply felt. At a high-level dialogue convened by @uwasnet , evidence showed that 1 in 6 women have experienced or know someone affected by sextortion while accessing water services.

The personal story for day two of the National sanitation week is Zuena Awori sharing how clean water and safe sanitation changed her life- keeping her in school, and unlocking her future. Watch. @min_waterUg @uwasnet @amrefit @Amref_Worldwide @WorldBankWater @unwomenuganda

#Sextortion in #WASHServices in Uganda is high especially in rural areas where water is still gotten communally. Almost 17% of women have been sexually abused in order to get clean water. @uwasnet @uwonet @dafriky @vivaconagua_UG

According to @min_waterUg 68% of women and girls have access to clean water, what happens to the remaining 32% ? #Sextortion @uwasnet @uwonet @vivaconagua_UG

Excited to join the National Sanitation Week 2026 Launch tomorrow at Kamwokya Market Grounds! We will showcase how the #UL4C approach is used to inspire schools and communities to improve sanitation and hygiene. #NationalSanitationWeek #WASH #SanitationForAll
