The urban areas of Uganda have undergone rapid population growth during the recent years and is still growing. This has increased demand on infrastructure and in some sectors outrun gains in infrastructure development including the water and sanitation sub-sector. As much as there is an increase in the number of people served every year in the urban water sector, the number of unserved is stagnant or still growing partly due to the rapid population growth but also due to gazetting of additional areas as urban.

The Government of Uganda’s Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE) is implementing a series of major water policy reforms through its Directorate of Water Resources Management (DWRM). The reforms include the adoption of the principles of integrated water resources management (IWRM), a catchment-based approach to water resources management and investment planning and a participatory approach. In keeping with broader Government policy, implementation of IWRM will be deconcentrated to the zonal and catchment levels.
