CHALLENGE:

Millions of People in Uganda particularly in rural & marginalized communities lack access to safe water, adequate sanitation and proper hygiene services. This persistent gap remains a major public health concern, disproportionately affecting low-income households that face limited involvement in decision-making and poor accessibility to essential WASH services. In such communities, systemic barriers continue to restrict equitable participation, especially among women and vulnerable groups.

SOLUTION:

AFCOD-Uganda proposes a targeted intervention to improve access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in Bulange and Magada sub-counties in Namutumba District in Uganda. This intervention responds to critical gaps in WASH infrastructure and gender equality and aligns with the AFCOD Project goal which aims to enhance gender equality through safe inclusive WASH and Livelihood in Uganda using gender-transformative and women empowerment approaches at community level.

LONG TERM IMPACT:

1. Strengthened inclusive & gender-transformative community systems.

2. Prevent GBV & promote women's leadership & participation.

3. Increased Access to Safe & Clean Drinking Water, Especially for Women & Children.

4. Improved Access to Gender-Sensitive Sanitation Facilities.

5. Enhanced Financial Inclusion for Women & Vulnerable Groups.
