Children in Kamuli District, Uganda
In Kamuli District, Uganda, children watch as local hand pump mechanics employed by Whave replace a hand pump with a new electric water pump, which will reduce the time for the community to fill up jerricans. Whave operates a public-private partnership as a rural water utility throughout Uganda. Whave is a member of the USAID-supported Sustainable WASH Systems Learning Partnership (SWS), a consortium of researchers and practitioners identifying solutions to the challenge of developing robust local systems capable of sustaining water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) service delivery. As climate change threatens water supplies and infrastructure in sub-saharan Africa, the need for strengthened local systems that provide reliable water services is critical.
Environmental Incentives supports SWS consortium members like Whave to test system-strengthening actions aimed at improving the way in which the network actors involved in WASH services interact, and addressing the factors that affect the likelihood that WASH services will be sustained.
