At the moment solid waste management is poor in the area though kampala city council is trying but the equipment of solid waste management is not enough for the population so there is need for intervention of other development agencies like AAID.
Sustainability / potential long term impact Since sustainability is one of the focused areas in the project which will put into consideration while implementing the project, this will be done through capacity building of the beneficiaries with their committees in place to care for water hygiene and sanitation activities in the area. AAID is going to build the community and committees capacity to improve water safety and sanitation services and improve their economic development in the area. Government extension workers will be involved in the implementation such that when the project implementation phases out, extension workers with AAID staff will follow up on the sustainability.
Through capacity building on sustainability AAID will focus on beneficiaries or water users to collect funds by using their committees formed by AAID. So these funds will be accumulated through microcredit schemes by providing loans to same beneficiaries. The committees will have policies set to govern the funds which target sustainability of the project.
PROJECT MONITORING AND EVALUATION The project will be monitored and evaluated to ensure it is successfully implementation, the project will be monitored by the management of AAID through progress reports, budgets and review of work plans with the project staff, extension staff from Government and the community resource persons put in place by the beneficiaries and the community in general will be visited every three weeks at their selected centers, this will be the responsibility of the programme coordinator, Executive Director with AAID consultants and accountant, to verify the work by social workers and facilitators at the grass root. AAID will seek technical assistance from Kampala district Local Government Water Department and health department where necessary during the implementation of the project. In addiction, technical assistance will be sought from Kampala city council. The project will have a midterm review meeting and end of project evaluation carried out by technical Monitoring and evaluation consultants. The overall evaluation for the implementation will be done after 1 year. The information produced from the evaluation and monitoring will be shared among stake holders of the project and other development agencies in the water and sanitation sector in Uganda and abroad, again the information will Assist AAID to understand its performance status so that there is improvement for future projects. `
