The study is a partnership between the Industrial Economics (IEc) expert team and staff,
the Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE) team, and other local counterparts in
Uganda. From the government of Uganda, we are grateful for policy guidance and
technical support provided by the Ministry of Water and Environment, the Ministry of
Energy and Minerals Development, the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic
Development, the Nile Basin Initiative, and to the study focal points within these
Ministries whose participation made this study possible. The study greatly benefitted
from the important contributions made through valuable inputs, comments, advice, and
support provided by academia, civil society and NGOs, the donor community, and
development partners in Uganda throughout this work.
