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.
