  • Busoga Sub-Region Witnessed a Marked Reduction in the Level of the Equity Index from 202 to 112 (Figure 2)
    IMPROVING WATER ACCESS THROUGH POLICY BRIEF 3/17 SUB-COUNTY LEVEL EQUITY PRIORITIZATION THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA IMPROVING WATER ACCESS THROUGH SUB-COUNTY LEVEL EQUITY PRIORITIZATION APRIL 2017 POLICY BRIEF NO. 3/ 17 INTRODUCTION Equitable promotion and provision of water supply services across social and geographic clusters remain a significant challenge in Uganda. To this end, in a bold effort to capture the degree of equitable access to improved water sources the Water and Environment sector developed and introduced an equity index designed to measure “the mean sub-county deviation from the district average in persons per water point”. Low numeric values of the equity index indicate a more even distribution of improved water sources between sub-counties within a given district; and vice-versa. According to the Water and Environment sector performance report (FY 2015/16), in 2014/15 water access in Uganda stood at 65%. During the same year, however, the equity index was reported at 162 persons per water source. Put differently, this means that even though on average two-thirds of Ugandans had access to water, access to improved water sources varied greatly from sub-county to sub-county by an average of 162 persons per water source. Figure 1 juxtaposes total water and environment releases per capita vs. the national equity index between 2011/12- 2014/15. National averages notwithstanding, a number of sub-regions registered significant improvements in their ability to deliver more equitable water supply services within their constituent districts. To illustrate, between 2011/12 and 2014/15 the Busoga sub-region witnessed a marked reduction in the level of the equity index from 202 to 112 (figure 2).

    The Development study on water resources development and management for Lake Kyoga Basin Final Report -Supporting- Chapter 4 Hydrogeology CHAPTER 4 HYDROGEOLOGY 4.1 Collection of Existing Data Existing data about hydrogeology managed by Directorate of Water Resources Management (DWRM) are Groundwater Database, Mapping Project data, and Groundwater Monitoring data. Others are the MIS database which is water supply facilities database managed by Directorate of Water Development, including the items of location, water source, functionality, and so on. 4.1.1 National Groundwater Database (NGWDB) This database was established by DWRM with contracting to a local consultant in 2000. DWRM had been compiled database based on the “Borehole Completion Report” which is submitted by drilling company after completion of drilling. In 1990s, it was managed by database software on MS-DOS, and before 1990s, it was borehole ledger described on paper book. Now it was compiled by Microsoft Access database management software on the Windows base again. Figure 4-1 shows the initial display of the database. The database has been input the data based on the completion report submitted by drilling company every year. It is including the well specification, geological information, pumping test data, water quality test result, and so on. This database is very sophisticated. DWRM gave to the study team the Source: DWRM data which are related to the Lake Figure 4-1 Initial Display of National Groundwater Database Kyoga Basin. In the obtained data, the number of data which described the registered well number is 11,880, the number of data which described the well construction information is 9,672, the number of data which described the hydrogeological information is 5,902, the number of data which described the pump information is 1,095, and the number of data which described the water quality is 2,293.

This document and any map included herein are without prejudice to the status of or sovereignty over any territory, to the delimitation of international frontiers and boundaries and to the name of any territory, city or area. © OECD 2015 UGANDA SIGI COUNTRY REPORT © OECD 2015 FOREWORD – 3 Foreword Uganda’s economic and political stability over the past two decades has brought unprecedented opportunities to address social inequalities and improve the well-being of citizens. Investments in key human development areas have reaped benefits in poverty reduction, and seen some improvements on a range of socio-economic indicators: but is everyone benefiting? Ugandan women and girls have partially benefited from these trends. New laws and measures to protect and promote women’s economic, political and human rights have been accompanied by impressive reductions in gender gaps in primary and secondary education and greater female political participation. Yet, wide gender gaps and inequalities remain, including in control of assets, employment and health. Economic development may have improved the status quo of women in Uganda, but full equality with men remains a distant reality. Tackling the discriminatory social norms that drive such gender inequalities and ensuring that women can equally benefit from Uganda’s development were twin objectives of this first in-depth country study of the OECD Social Institutions and Gender Index (SIGI).
