This report, for the first time, coincides with the Government financial year. 2. From the financial point of view the year has again been one of considerable difficulty since, as a result of the Economy Commission Report, it was necessary to restrict the money available for recurrent expenditure to the same level as the previous year. Although an additional sum was available to cover normal increases in salaries, the general effect was that many economies had to in all be made grades of staff; some important vacancies could not be filled, and expansion was out of the question.

  • Behaviour Change for Improved Hygiene and Sanitation: Not Just a Household Affair!
    Behaviour change for improved hygiene and sanitation: not just a household affair! There is common agreement in the WASH sector that household hygiene and sanitation in rural areas in developing countries is, first and foremost, the responsibility of the household. With the Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) approach, a stronger role of the community has been introduced in changing the hygiene and sanitation behaviour of the household members. The PILS1 (Performance Improvement through Learning in Sanitation) project in three districts in Northern Uganda2 has focused on strengthening the supporting role to communities of local government and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) by facilitating district- and sub-county-based learning and action research. Working in a post-war environment, PILS has shown that improvements in coordination and the introduction of a learning process among the decentralised stakeholders can contribute to innovation, better financing and local solutions. The experiences with the PILS project can help the development of hygiene and sanitation policies and their implementation in Uganda. Author: René van Lieshout, International Water and Sanitation centre (IRC), March 2012 Peer review: Valérie Bey, IRC The hygiene and sanitation context in Northern Uganda After more than 20 years of insurgencies, Northern Uganda is going through a transition phase from heavily externally-supported humanitarian aid to peace and sustainable development. Most Internally Displaced People (IDPs) have left the camps and are now either in transition camps or have returned to their villages. At the same time, many humanitarian NGOs and UN agencies have left Northern Uganda and have substantially reduced their programmes there. The returnees are faced with many challenges to develop their livelihoods and get to grips with the routines of daily life.
