Uganda’s water resources have been recognized as a key driver for socio-economic transformation. Sectors with development opportunities related to water resources include: agriculture (irrigation/supplementary irrigation), livestock, fisheries, aquaculture, hydropower, industry, water transportation/navigation, mining and oil production, and tourism.

Water resources support key sectors of the economy namely hydropower generation, agriculture,fisheries, domestic water supply, industry, navigation etc. However, efficiency and sustainability of intervention under these sectors has recently been a concern in Uganda mainly due to inadequate sectoral collaboration in planning and implementation, increasing frequency of floods and droughts, environmental degradation and pollution of water resources.
