The Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE) is committed to long term sustainability of water supply systems by ensuring that once the facilities are put in place they continue giving a service to the intended users. In a bid to achieve that, MWE developed the “National Framework for Operation and Maintenance of Rural Water Infrastructure in Uganda” launched in December 2019. The National Framework provides the overall guidance in the management of rural water systems outside the jurisdiction of the public water supply utilities.
