NEWS AND UPDATES
Kampala's Implementation Plan
The sanitation project in Kampala is guided by a multi-phase strategy that combines technology innovation, community engagement, and institutional collaboration.
Sanitation Facilities
Only about 15% of the users of sanitation facilities within Kampala are connected to sewers. For sewered sanitation, collection and transport is via sewers owned, operated and maintained by the NWSC.
Policy Framework
Constitution of the Republic of Uganda (1995 As amended) provides the basis for the legal framework in Uganda regarding the overall management of the environment.
Emptying and Transport
Conveyance/collection and transportation describes the transport of products from one functional group to another. This means that sanitation products have to be transferred in various ways between functional groups.
